Into The Hive Equipment Tokens: How to Get and Spend Them

What Equipment Tokens Do in Into The Hive

The deeper you go into the hive, the better the rewards get, so you'll want stronger gear behind you. Into The Hive equipment tokens are the currency that unlocks new gear in your armory, so every token you grab means a new gun, throwable, or sentry for the next expedition. Knowing where to claim them and where to spend them saves you a lot of menu-hopping in the lobby.

Into The Hive is a co-op extraction shooter from To The Earth's Core. You and up to three friends drop into randomly generated caves, blast through bugs, finish the mission, and run back to extraction. Destructible terrain lets you carve your own routes, and you can swap between first-person and third-person views.

Equipment Tokens tie into the game's two main gear systems:

• New equipment: Tokens buy guns, throwables, and sentries (turrets) from the lobby.
• Augments: Tokens also unlock Augments, which are upgrades you apply to your weapons and tools back at base between runs.

How to Get Free Equipment Tokens With Codes

Codes in this game are time-limited, so redeem HIVE1 as soon as you can.

How to Redeem Codes

New players have to clear the first mission before the lobby opens up. That first mission doubles as the tutorial: follow the blue line, mine where you're told, shoot the bugs, reload, and place your first guard tower. Once you're back in the lobby:

1. Click the Shop button on the right side of the screen.
2. Find the code entry box at the bottom of the Shop window.
3. Type or paste the code exactly as written.
4. Hit Redeem to claim your Equipment Token.

There's no separate codes menu. Everything happens inside the Shop window.

If a Code Won't Redeem

• Check the last character of HIVE1. It's the number 1, not a lowercase L or a capital I.
• Use all caps, just like the code table shows.
• Remove quotation marks, stray formatting, and extra spaces before and after the code.
• If the code has expired, retyping it won't help. Keep an eye out for the next one.

Where to Spend Equipment Tokens

Redeeming and spending happen in two different lobby menus, and it's easy to mix them up at first.

Lobby Menu	What It Does
Shop	Code entry box and Redeem button
Equipment	Spend Equipment Tokens on armory items

Open Equipment, pick a category, and compare what's inside before you spend anything. A single token is precious early on, so don't spend it on a whim.

Guns, Throwables, and Sentries

• Guns: Your main damage source. The starting rifle is the AR 01, with the AR 02 sitting further up the line. There's also a cannon with much bigger damage than the 60-damage utility item.
• Throwables: Utility tools such as grenades.
• Sentries: Turrets you deploy to cover your squad when the swarm closes in.

Take a sentry first if you mostly play as the team's anchor. A turret covering a choke point buys time for everyone to reload or mine. If you want more personal firepower, browse the guns instead.

Keep in mind that some armory items also carry a cash price earned from missions. The AR 02 costs 5,000 and the cannon costs 3,000, so save your mission cash if you have your eye on a specific weapon.

Augments: Upgrading Your Loadout at Base

Augments let you customize gear you already own between runs. They change how each piece performs. Two examples:

• One Augment raises your firing speed.
• Another makes your turrets last longer against the swarm.

Check your Augments every time you buy something new, since a fresh gun or sentry might change what you want to bring into the caves. Pair a durability Augment with your turret if your squad keeps getting overrun during long holds, and boost firing speed if you're the one clearing waves.

Equipment upgrades themselves cost cash and ore, so keep mining during missions. Ore is part of what keeps your gear growing.

Game Passes That Speed Up Your Progress

No game pass sells Equipment Tokens directly, but a few of them affect the resources that sit alongside tokens in your progression.

Game Pass	Price	What You Get
VIP	199 Robux	+50% Cash from missions, +50% Scrap, +25% Rank XP, VIP tag
Mastery Booster	199 Robux	Double Mastery XP on every weapon and piece of equipment, half the Cash and ore cost for every equipment upgrade
Phoenix Armor	799 Robux	Phoenix armor set; once per mission, you revive when downed, knock back nearby bugs, and get a 5-second shield dome

Phoenix Armor and Mastery Booster are yours for good. If you plan to upgrade lots of gear, Mastery Booster's half-price upgrades stack up quickly.

Where to Find New Codes

Fresh codes drop through the official Into The Hive Discord and the To The Earth's Core Roblox group, which has over 30,000 members. Join both so you see announcements as soon as they're posted. Then hop into the Into The Hive experience on Roblox and redeem the code in the lobby Shop before it expires.

FAQ

Why Can't I Find the Shop Button?

You need to finish the first mission (the tutorial run) before the lobby and its Shop button appear. Once you're through it, the Shop button sits on the right side of the screen.

Do Into The Hive Codes Expire?

Yes. Codes are time-limited, so claim HIVE1 and any future codes as soon as they go live.

Does HIVE1 Give a Specific Weapon?

No. It gives one Equipment Token, and you choose what to buy with it in the Equipment menu.
