Into The Hive guns: where to browse and AR entry states
Find gun options through the lobby Equipment menu, browse the WEAPON categories, and understand the equipped and locked labels in the example AR loadout.
Open Equipment in the lobby to browse gun options. The WEAPON view displays four category tabs: RIFLES, SMGS, PISTOLS and MARKSMAN. If you have Equipment Tokens for a gun purchase, use the Equipment menu to buy new guns after reviewing the options in your chosen category.
In the example loadout, AR-01 is marked EQUIPPED, while AR-02 and AR-03 are marked LOCKED:
| Gun entry | Displayed status |
|---|---|
| AR-01 | EQUIPPED |
| AR-02 | LOCKED |
| AR-03 | LOCKED |
These are the states for that particular loadout, rather than a fixed status for every player. Check the labels beside the entries in your own menu when identifying your equipped gun.
Where to browse and buy guns
The lobby Equipment menu brings browsing and Equipment Token purchases together. To review a purchase:
- Open Equipment in the lobby.
- Choose the equipment category you want to inspect.
- Review and compare its options before buying a gun with Equipment Tokens.
Within the WEAPON view, the category tabs organize the firearm options. Use RIFLES, SMGS, PISTOLS or MARKSMAN to find the category you want to browse; then look at the individual entries and their displayed states.
Reading the AR labels
The gun name identifies the entry, while its status tells you how it appears in that loadout. In the example above, AR-01 carries the EQUIPPED label, identifying the equipped selection. AR-02 and AR-03 are visible in the list but carry LOCKED labels. Seeing an entry in the menu therefore does not, by itself, mean it is available to equip.
For more about the currency used for these purchases, see the Equipment Tokens guide.
