While there were plenty of reports a while ago surrounding The Division 2 Skills not working, this bug of The Division 2 Reviver Hive not working is somewhat unrelated. The Reviver Hive bug is a terribly annoying one. The Skill is about as important as they come if you’re finding The Division 2 difficult. Read on to discover exactly what the bug is doing and if there are any potential fixes.
The Division 2 Reviver Hive Not Working | What’s the issue?
According to this thread on the official Ubisoft Support forums, the Reviver Hive Skill is not working as it should for many players. This is obviously not a good thing. Unfortunately, the bug is fairly difficult to pinpoint as the Reviver Hive is broken for different players in different ways.
The Reviver Hive Skill should be easy enough to use. With it, you can revive yourself and your teammates. The Reviver Hive should automatically revive you if you are downed and it is not in cooldown. Unfortunately, this simply isn’t happening for many Division 2 players. Other players are complaining that the Reviver Hive Skill isn’t reviving their teammates as it should. Some are saying that it works as advertised around 60% of the time. A few players, meanwhile, explain that the Reviver Hive Skill works in some modes, but not others. Even if it did work, the Reviver Hive has even frozen some players in place.
Simply put, the Skill is broken. Some players are even reporting that it is activating, making all the right noises, but isn’t actually reviving them. Is there a fix to any of these problems?
The Division 2 Reviver Hive Not Working | Is there a fix?
Unfortunately, there isn’t a fix for any of The Division 2 Reviver Hive not working issues. Despite this, there is hope. Ubisoft is aware of the issue and has at least provided insight into how the Skill should work in order to revive teammates.
You will need to aim your crosshair at your teammates and press the Skill button again in order to revive them with the Reviver Hive. Hopefully, though, Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment will provide us with the fix we need for this bug via an update.

The Division 2 and the best and worst Tom Clancy franchises
Due to a set of circumstances only possible in our industry, the Tom Clancy name has been all over gaming. It's the first name in tactical shooters and one of Ubisoft's most valuable franchises. However, it's not all sunshine and roses. Here is the history of The Clance in video game form. -
The Hunt for Red October
In the late '80s, one of the prominent genres on home PCs were tense strategy games. Since graphics hadn't evolved as of yet, games, where you played in the theater of the mind, dominated the landscape. What better subject than the tense thrillers of Tom Clancy for these types of experiences? -
The Sum of All Fears
In 1996, Tom Clancy co-founded Red Storm Entertainment after seeing these early successes. Ubisoft subsequently purchased the studio in 2000 after establishing a working relationship with them. Ubisoft then purchased the Tom Clancy name outright for use in video games in 2006. By then, games tying into Clancy's movie successes just weren't enough. -
Rainbow Six
Originally based on one of Clancy's novels, the Rainbow Six series encompasses 17 distinct releases across multiple platforms. Each game features tactical first-person shooting and aspires to be a military simulation. This style peaked with a pair of Vegas titles released on Xbox 360. -
Rainbow Six Siege
After spending several years developing a follow-up to Vegas entittled Patriots, Ubisoft went a different way. Rainbow Six Siege is a multiplayer-focused endeavor with Overwatch-style heroes as its operatives. Although it started off on the wrong foot, constant improvements have made it one of the most popular shooters going. -
Ghost Recon
The second set of Clancy tactical shooters, Ghost Recon differentiates itself with its third-person gameplay and its large outdoor environments. There have been fourteen Ghost Recon releases, ranging from the modern day to the near future. Most recently, Ghost Recon took a turn into the open world with Wildlands. -
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
A subsection of Ghost Recon, "GRAW" was one of the standout games around the Xbox 360 launch. Combining the tactics the series is known for with then-futuristic technology made for a great combination. Ubisoft would revisit the idea with a direct sequel and Future Soldier in 2012. -
Splinter Cell
Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher might have been in the running as an Xbox mascot back in the good old days. A stealth action series to rival Metal Gear, Sam's adventures are classics, particularly the original trilogy. The latest in the series was Blacklist in 2013, although there have been hints that Sam might drop in again any day now. -
EndWar
Taking Tom Clancy back to full on tactics, 2008's EndWar promoted itself on its voice-operated commands. You could control the entire game with a headset, although some reviewers found that to be difficult to achieve. A sequel started development but never saw the light of day. There was a free-to-play follow-up planned but it was canceled. -
H.A.W.X.
An arcade flying game taking place in the timeline of Advanced Warfighter, H.A.W.X. is a weird fit in the Tom Clancy timeline. Two games were released in 2009 and 2010, both receiving mixed to positive reviews. A seeming stopgap in the industry while Ace Combat slumbered, this is one name we probably won't be seeing again. -
The Division
The latest Tom Clancy joint, The Division takes the gameplay structure of Destiny and brings it down to Earth. Literally. This loot shooter doesn't quite have the tactical gameplay of past titles bearing Mr. Clancy's name, but it does have the squad controls and the storyline that attempts to match his most engaging works of fiction. Well, it doesn't have great storytelling techniques but at least it has the look and feel of a Clancy game.
