Into The Hive Update: New Mission Type, Buffs & What's Next

What the New Mission Type Update Changes

The caves just got more interesting. The current Into The Hive update runs on the experience page from November 7 to November 14, 2026. It adds a brand-new mission type and gives various weapons and gear sizeable buffs. If you shelved a gun because it felt weak against the swarms, take it back into the caves this week.

Into The Hive is a co-op PvE shooter for 1–4 players. You head into randomly generated caves, fight through insect swarms, finish your objective, and then make the run back to extraction. The new mission type gives squads something fresh to do on those runs.

Here's what this patch brings:

• A new mission type to mix up your expeditions
• Sizeable buffs across various weapons and gear
• Full patch notes in game, available once the update is live

Read the in-game patch notes before you spend anything. A buffed weapon you already own could save you a big purchase.

Coming Next: New Weapons, a Firing Range and Maybe Layer 5

The next content drop is called New Weapons and More!, and it's scheduled for November 14 to November 21, 2026. To The Earth's Core has committed to three things for this one:

• The Firing Range, a place to try out your guns
• A batch of Secondary weapons
• A few new Utility tools and Throwables

The developer is also working on Layer 5. It might make it into this update, but the team has made no promises. Plan around the Firing Range and the new secondaries, and count a fifth layer as a bonus if it shows up.

The game has moved quickly since it launched on Roblox on October 21, 2026. It has already logged 1,704,313 visits and 43,744 favorites, with 2,157 likes against 207 dislikes.

Redeem HIVE1 Before the Next Drop

There's one working code right now. It's a good way to start your first post-update run with a little extra gear.

Code	Reward
HIVE1	1 Equipment Token

To redeem it:

1. Complete the first mission if you're new, since the lobby menus open up after it.
2. Click the Shop button on the right side of the lobby screen.
3. Find the code box at the bottom of the Shop window.
4. Enter HIVE1 and hit Redeem.

The last character is the number 1. It isn't a lowercase L or a capital I. Paste the code without spaces or quotation marks.

Codes are time-limited, so redeem it soon. New codes tend to arrive alongside updates and special events, so check back when the November 14 patch lands.

Equipment Tokens are spent in a separate menu. Open Equipment in the lobby to buy new guns, throwables, and sentries. If your squad keeps getting overrun, put the token toward a sentry, because turrets help hold off the swarm while you work.

How to Gear Up for the Buffed Arsenal

With weapons getting stronger and new secondaries on the way, don't waste Cash on gear you'll replace in a week. Follow this order to progress efficiently:

1. Skip the 5,000 gun. The AR 02 performs almost the same as the starting AR 01. Save for the 12K or 20K weapons instead.
2. Upgrade your starter weapon first. Use the upgrade button on what you already have.
3. Spin for an Augment. Even a common roll helps early on. Log in on your second day for a free epic Augment.
4. Don't worry about committing an Augment. You can remove it from your rifle anytime and move it to a better gun later.
5. Push weapon mastery to level four. That unlocks a second Augment slot.
6. Spin for armor next. Common armor is fine for the early game.
7. Buy the 12K or 20K guns once your upgrades, Augments, and armor are sorted.
8. Finish with grenades and turrets to round out the loadout.

Augments are customized back at base between expeditions. Revisit your setup after each patch, since a buff can change which weapon deserves your best Augment.

Game Passes in the Experience

If you're considering spending Robux before the next update, these are the three passes on sale:

Game Pass	Price	What You Get
Phoenix Armor	799 Robux	Permanent Phoenix armor set. Once per mission, when you go down, you get back up, nearby bugs are thrown back, and a shield dome covers you for 5 seconds
VIP	199 Robux	+50% Cash from missions, +50% Scrap, +25% Rank XP, and a VIP tag
Mastery Booster	199 Robux	Permanent double Mastery XP on every weapon and piece of equipment, plus half the Cash and ore cost for every equipment upgrade

The Mastery Booster works directly with the progression above. Doubled Mastery XP gets you to the second Augment slot faster, and cheaper upgrades stretch your Cash further when the new secondaries arrive.

Where to Catch Future Updates

The developer posts updates and codes in the official Into The Hive Discord and the To The Earth's Core Roblox group, which has 30,223 members. Joining the group puts new patch announcements in front of you as they go up. Each update also appears on the Into The Hive experience page on Roblox, which is where you launch the game.

Keep an eye on November 14. That's when the New Mission Type event wraps and New Weapons and More! begins.
