Into The Hive Currencies: Cash, Equipment Tokens and Scrap

Last updated:

Cash, Equipment Tokens and Scrap each help improve your loadout in different ways.

QUICK ANSWER

Spend Cash on equipment, upgrades, crates and armor; use Equipment Tokens as an alternative equipment unlock payment; and dismantle Augments for Scrap to spend on rerolls. Get Tokens from your first drop, Daily Rewards and weekly Daily Task milestones.

Three resources for equipment and Augments

Cash pays for equipment unlocks, equipment upgrades alongside the required ore, Normal Augment Crates and Normal Armor Rolls. Equipment Tokens provide an alternative payment for eligible equipment unlocks. Scrap comes from dismantling Augments and pays for Augment rerolls.

Get and spend Equipment Tokens

Get Equipment Tokens from these rewards:

  • First drop: Complete the tutorial and return to the lobby for your first Token.
  • Daily Rewards: Claim 1 Token on Day 3 and 2 Tokens on Day 5. Missing a login day resets the streak.
  • Weekly Daily Task milestones: Complete 5 Daily Tasks for 1 Token and 10 for another Token.

To use a Token:

  1. Open Equipment in the lobby and select a category and a locked item.
  2. Choose the Equipment Token payment and unlock the item. You need the number of Tokens shown for that item.
  3. Select Equip to add the unlocked item to your loadout.

For example, GL-01 offers a choice of 1 Token, 5,000 Cash or 119 Robux. Token prices depend on the item: Heavy Cannon costs 1, Arc Tower and Dome Shield each cost 2, and GL-03 costs 3.

Choose a payment for your goal

Equipment unlock prices are alternatives: pay with one offered method. If you want a 20,000-Cash weapon such as GL-03, saving 3 Tokens for it preserves more Cash than spending 1 Token on a 5,000-Cash unlock. Choose the equipment that gives your loadout the role it needs; the listed alternatives do not establish a general exchange rate between currencies. Compare options in the Weapon Price List.

For Augments, check the displayed Scrap fee before rerolling. You can lock up to two traits to preserve them, increasing the fee. The fee is spent even if you keep the old result.

Cash sources and Scrap management

Combine mission payouts and Daily Tasks with claimable rewards to build Cash. The Cash guide covers an actionable earning route; see mission payouts for first-clear and weekly bonuses.
