The Hive Pack is a pre-Hardmode accessory that is always dropped from the Queen Bee's Treasure Bag in Expert Mode. While equipped, it grants a 1/2 (50%) chance of replacing friendly Bee projectiles with stronger Giant Bees.[1] It also grants stat boosts to certain bee-themed weapons.

Notes

  • Giant Bees gain the following boosts:
    • Giant Bees always deal 1–3 extra damage and a knockback of 0.5 (Extremely weak), as opposed to a normal Bee's 1/2 (50%) chance to have 1 bonus damage.[2]
    • Giant Bees can pierce enemies and ricochet off tiles for a total of three times instead of two, last 11 seconds instead of 10, and fly noticeably faster.[3]
  • It also allows the Bee Gun, Bee Keeper, and the Honey Comb (and its upgrades) an extra 1/3 (33.33%) chance to summon an additional bee projectile when used.
  • It also increases the firing rate of the Hornet Staff minions from once per 0.75 seconds to once per 0.58 seconds on average, and increases the damage and armor penetration of the Wasp Gun by 5.[4]
  • Like normal bees, Giant Bees will still dissipate immediately on contact with water or lava.
  • The Hive Pack will benefit the following bee-related items:
