Into The Hive missions: What your squad should expect

Into The Hive missions ask your squad to destroy alien insect nests, protect mining equipment, and return to base alive. Spiders threaten players during nest destruction, and firepower and teamwork affect your squad's chances of survival.

Nest destruction and equipment defense

Nest destruction puts the squad on the offensive, but the nest is not the only concern: spiders threaten the players trying to destroy it. Expect combat pressure alongside the objective, with both the crew's firepower and its ability to work together contributing to survival.

Protecting mining equipment gives the squad a different focus. Here, the task is to preserve equipment rather than destroy a nest. These activities explain the mix of attack and defense a crew should expect from missions.

Keep the return to base in mind

Returning alive belongs alongside the other mission activities. Treat survival as part of the squad's job throughout the outing, including while working on nests or protecting equipment. For guidance focused on that part of the mission, see the Into The Hive extraction guide.
