Focus on Hives Hives is the primary game in Crucible, it's a 4V4 game mode where the main objective is for you and your team to defeat the Hives that spawn randomely around the map and collect the hearts that they spawn. You will be able to see where the Hives will spawn by looking at your mini-map. The key to defeating the Hive is to take down the enemy players first before you engage the Hive.
Kill AI Spawn Often It is important that during the lead up to the attack against the Hive you take down as many AI spawn as possible as doing so will enable you to increase your Essence level faster than if you were to just eliminate players. Leveling up your character with Essence will substantially increase the strength of some of their core components.
