Although plasma casters are disliked in the Hive, tactics and glitches of it are still acceptable for a rankup.
In Aliens vs Predator and Aliens: Colonial Marines, the Hive knows many glitches and battle tactics, as well as advanced moves of its own. Most of these were introduced by other Hive players to the Matriarch. The Matriarch then shows other Hive members these glitches and battle tactics. These tactics and glitches are shown during the Hive activities Training and Hive Tours.
Introducing new ideas, tactics, and glitches is the third method of ranking up in the Five Methods. All of these tacitcs, moves, and glitches the Hive knows have been summed up into one phrase: the Hive's Exclusives. All of these tactics and glitches have been named. Now, not all AvP and ACM players call all of the glitches they know the same as the Hive, but perhaps they do. This means this page is useful to all players, members or outsiders. The Executive Glitcher monsterjaws has introduced the most new glitches to the Hive than any other player. The Executive Hacker xXOpTiC_KnIvEsXx (The_Hunters_Ares) has also introduced new glitches and hacks to the Matriarch. These executives have helped make the list of tactics and glitches that make up the Hive's Exclusives. There is one ultimate tactic the Hive has, and this is called the Matriarch tactic. This tactic is really a makeup of all the smaller tactics the Matriarch uses, so this tactic is really an entire elite fighting style. This tactic may change with a new Matriarch. All Hive fromations from Hive Trials and Training are also considered part of the Hive Exclusives category.
