Hive missions and Nightwave.

[Miser_able]

I can't seem to figure out what the deal is with Hive missions, sometimes they are counted as sabotage missions, other times they aren't.

Take for instance 2 different Nightwave challenges "find all 3 caches in 3 sabotage missions" and "complete 3 sabotage missions". Hive caches work for the first challenge, but not the second. What's the deal here? Is it a sabotage or not? Is it just that completing any mission that has caches, such as dakata and plato on Kuva Fortress and Lua respectively, will count? (I genuinely have no idea, I never tried). Or is it that DE forget about Hive sabotages when making the second Nightwave challenge?

It's probably just poor wording on the first challenge, it should really just say "find 3 caches in 3 missions" or something like that. Sabotage already has a few different variations so if they were gonna count Hive as a Sabotage mission they'd probably just call it Sabotage and move on.

I think the full name is technically 'Hive Sabotage', but they're not an actual sabotage mission for some reason.

To answer the other part, yes. Any mission with caches in it will count for NW, as far as I am aware.

Yea. That's where I got confused. It's referred to as hive sabotage, but isn't considered a sabotage?

Probably considered it's own type of mission similar to infested salvage since there's only one mission of each.
