Hive Armaments is a deprecated Armor Mod in Destiny 2 that was introduced during Season of Opulence. It provided Heavy ammo generation when defeating Hive enemies with grenades.
Contents
Effect
"Defeating a Hive enemy with a grenade grants Heavy ammo reserves"
When equipped, this mod granted a chance to receive Heavy ammo directly to reserves upon killing any Hive enemy with a grenade ability. This effect made it particularly valuable during Hive-focused activities and raids.

- Crown of Sorrow raid encounters
- The Menagerie:
* Normal mode (lower drop rate) * Heroic mode (increased drop rate)
Requirements
- Chalice of Opulence: Must have "Power and Efficiency III" upgrade unlocked
- Weekly Limit: Maximum 3 mods per character per week from Menagerie
Related Mods
Hive Armaments was part of a set of Hive-themed mods:
- Hive Barrier: Damage reduction when taking Hive damage
- Hive Invigoration: Class ability refresh on Hive elite kills
- Hive Repurposing: Grenade refresh on breaking Hive shields
Usage Strategy
- Paired well with high-discipline builds

Translation Issues
Some non-English versions incorrectly described the mod as requiring only enemy kills rather than specifically grenade kills, causing confusion among international players.
Current Status
- Deprecated: No longer functions in current game version
- Can be safely dismantled for materials
- Replaced by more universal ammo generation systems
Legacy
Hive Armaments represented the Season of Opulence's approach to enemy-specific mods, encouraging loadout customization based on activity enemies. This design philosophy influenced later seasonal mod systems.
Trivia
