    The Hivebusters DLC lasts through 6 shapters, and offers:
    - 23 Collectibles
    - 12 Ability Upgrades

    An important note is that upgrade abilities have to be grabbed in 1 playthrough. Unfortunately, this means that is you missed one, you can't simply go back and grab it. You'll may have to replay that entire chapter and continue through the game to pick up the remaining ones.
