<div class="IPBDescription">Quick question, Quick answer?</div> Hey all.

So, how much health *does* a Hive have? Does it self-regenerate?

Thanks!

    I don't know the exact number, but based on the number of clips it takes to kill one, I'd guess around 10,000. (three unupgraded HMG clips, a little more than two if you are upgraded)

    I have no idea about regeneration, but it's likely that they regenerate much faster than 8 hp per second.

    I remember hearing something closer to 6000 myself. There does seem to be an odd bug with hives though.. .if you keep attacking they won't die. The damage animation overrides the death animation I guess, because I've often seen a group of marines pounding into a hive with Welders, HMGs and GLs for a few minutes without the Hive dying. As soon as they stopped shooting, it faded and died.

    6000 hitpoints and yep, it regenerates itself.

    2 full clips when you have upgraded weaponry (tried with level 3) is enough to kill it from a bit off. Most likely level 1 with 2 full clips would be enough if at point blank.

    hrmm.. i always wondered how much hp hives have..

    take a while to kill with LMGS??

    How fast to the regenerate? would lots of defense chambers around it help it to regenerate faster?? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
