Infested Hive

Infested Hives are special Hive Sabotage targets found within the Infested Ship tileset unique to the Infested, introduced during the Operation Breeding Grounds event in . They appear during Hive missions as large grey biomasses emerging from the ground with a visible large and smooth orange mass at the center.
Destroying these Hives are required to finish missions in which they appear, and up to three of them are present per mission. Hives are made immune to all attacks via the presence of Infested Tumors, growths that are similar in appearance to Hives but smaller, and appearing on walls and ceilings. Five Tumors will be present in the room in which a Hive appears, and these Tumors must be eliminated first to expose the Hive itself to attack. While harmless in and of themselves, the destruction of a Hive will trigger the permanent appearance of various environmental hazards all over the map, making the mission more hazardous the more Hives are destroyed.
==Variants==
There are six variants of Infested Hives that can appear, though only three Hives can appear in any mission, and certain hive variants can appear more often than others. A particular variant can only appear once per mission, though any of the six variants can appear in combination. Each variant can be identified by a physical feature or aura unique to each type.

==Notes==
*'s will target Hives within its range, but will not damage it if there are still Tumors present nearby. This can cause to attack the hive repeatedly for several seconds to no effect.
*Using a Codex Scanner to find the locations of the tumors will greatly help players unfamiliar with the spawn locations.
*Lancing, Stabilizing, and Security hives are now only available to scan in the final mission of the Hidden Messages quest.
*Despite not being a container, the infested tumors have a chance of dropping Ayatan stars.
