Complete guide to obtaining Colored Drives and Glitched Drives for Digital Bee. Robo Bear quests, drive types, and corruption upgrades.
How to Get Drives in Bee Swarm Simulator
Drives (Red, Blue, White, Glitched) are used to repair Robo Bear, purchase Digital Bee, enhance Digital Bee permanently, and boost a single Robo Bear Challenge round.
First Drives: Repair Robo Bear
Robo Bear is in the 15 Bee Zone (broken until repaired). You need one of each drive type to fix him:
- Collect the Broken Drive token behind the Robo Pass dispensers (30 Bee Zone).
- Complete these quests for your first colored drives:
- Science Bear — "Repairing The White Drive" → White Drive
- Panda Bear — "Ready For The Red Drive?" → Red Drive
- Dapper Bear — "Barter For The Blue Drive" → Blue Drive
- Science Bear — "Corrupting The Glitched Drive" → Glitched Drive
- Return to Robo Bear with all four drives to repair him.
Buying More Drives (Robo Bear's Shop)
After repair, buy drives with Cogs + Honey earned during Robo Bear Challenge:
- Red / Blue / White — 50 Cogs + 250,000 Honey. Price scales: 250,000 × n² per nth purchase.
- Glitched — 100 Cogs + 5 of each colored drive + 1,000,000 Honey. Requires Gold Cog Amulet unlocked.
Glitched Drive Drops
- Chance after completing 10+ rounds of Robo Bear Challenge (higher rounds = better odds).
- 1 guaranteed per day after completing round 20.
- 1 guaranteed at round 25 (1/7 chance for a second).
