Wave 1 Survival

Learn to survive Wave 1 in Hive Jump 2: Survivors, focusing on basic combat, resource collection, and earning the 'One Small Step' achievement.

Your very first objective in any run is to simply survive Wave 1. This initial wave is designed to be manageable, allowing you to get a feel for your Jumper's controls and starting weapons. Focus on basic movement, aiming, and utilizing your primary fire and grenades effectively. The 'One Small Step' achievement is awarded for surviving Wave 1, marking your first step into the hive.

During Wave 1, enemies will typically be weaker, such as basic Drones or Grunts. Use this opportunity to practice kiting, target prioritization, and efficient use of your jetpack. Collect any Goo or Amber dropped by defeated enemies, as these resources are vital for early upgrades. Don't be afraid to use your starting grenades; they can clear groups of weaker enemies quickly.
