Some known Hive materials include [[Hadium Flake|Hadium]], which is a reactive crystal that stores any energy it is exposed to, [[Wormspore]], a concentrated transmutation catalyst that reacts to both the Light and the Darkness, and [[Moldering Shard]]s. [[Osmium]] holds a certain significance to the Hive due to their early years on [[Fundament]], seemingly a precious component for certain rituals, and a variant found scattered within Savathun's Throne World known as [[Fundemental Osmium]] is described as a super-dense transition metal with paracausal traces made from supernovae and dead stars that was taken from Fundament.<ref>''[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/evidence-board-hard-evidence| Evidence Board - Hard Evidence]''</ref><ref>''[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/hard-evidence-step-4| Evidence Board - Hard Evidence Step 4]''</ref> There also exists a filament that's said by Fynch to be a metamaterial capable of soaking up everything from vibration to EM radiation; an "all in one" passive scanner.

The Hive have taken an interest in fusing their own dark understanding with humanity's mastery of war. The most well-known of these are the [[Weapons of Sorrow]], created by either the Hive themselves or Humans who studied Hive science. | The Hive have taken an interest in fusing their own dark understanding with humanity's mastery of war.
