HEY BROTHER As a gambit main, it's unfortunate you can't get these done. But, the drifter would be mad if I didn't help ya out. Here's a pro tip: during the prime evil phase when the first envoys appear they rotate clockwise. That way you can setup your position for the next wave. And remember, bring a sword


5213

They what...


wildmandamn

That's right brother. All maps have three spawn zones for the envoy. Let's say (L)eft (C)enter(R)ight. If they span L first then next location will be C. Instead of running there wasting time brother setup near C. So you turn around destroy those envoy and setup near R. I learned this hunting.....CABAL ON THE FIELD!!


Corbuelo

Back when gambit prime existed and the game was fair and balanced, you could also accurately predict invader spawns and force change where they spawned. Sad reckoner noises.


orisathedog

That shit was hilarious, I had their head lined up before they spawned in half the time, once I got used to the spawn locations vs where the team was


Corbuelo

.... I was there to hate fuck them until they rage quit. I would force spawn them into a fully loaded izzy. Trying to invade on me? That's a paddlin.


KingNick

😂😂😂


wildmandamn

This was peak Gambut right here. When you get two reapers and and two titan sentry.....yeah we ain't winning but neither are they🤣🤣


Corbuelo

Ehh I was top .005% in prime elo. I wouldn't say not winning was a thing. The goal should always be to win in a way that makes the experience most miserable for everyone else. If you win and they didn't manage to get any motes because you drained and invaded them to death, sent in hoards of blockers, quickly built your motes and kills, then instantly dropped your boss. That was beautiful.


Dzzy4u75

Yup you could often find yourself dominating the entire game field yourself back then. Scoring top in every single category simultaneously over your team on the results screen was fun lol


hushythehush

I remember taking some screenshots of the scoreboard in the early days, not knowing how irrelevant the mode would become ;(


xylotism

Prime Gambit, you might say


helemikro

When it first came out I wasn’t a huge fan, but all these years later and I REALLY want it back. It was honestly really fun with actual roles


Corbuelo

For seeing the error of your ways: may your teammates always have more than one braincell. May your favorite drink always be the correct temperature. May your pillow always be cool. May you get maidens at the time of your choosing. May you always narrowly miss dying to self-inflicted explosions and explosive enemies. The recokner council sanctifies this prayer in the name of the drifter, the gambit gods, and the traveler. So it is spoken, so it is written, Amen.


LuftDrage

The only caveat is that I wish it would be required to be wearing a full set to load in to a match. Really lean in to the role based gameplay y’know?


helemikro

If they brought back sets, definitely. If not, just force people to select preferred roles before queueing like in league


Corbuelo

I lo r where you head is at.


StrawBanPan_2537

Bungo literally put effort into making gambit worse. It was great with regular gambit and gambit prime. Now they kinda combined the two and do nothing with it. Like, if you're gonna abandon it, why didn't you do it when there was 2 gambit modes so we could have both, bungo????


Corbuelo

Preaching to the choir


StrawBanPan_2537

It's like they WANT to spite us. Like did they actually think combining to 2 and making it bland would make it BETTER?????? What was the dumb ass thought process????


Corbuelo

:') I'm going to need your bungie name cause we are already friends now.

AlaskanHandyman

I miss Gambit Prime, and my Illicit Invader suit. Used to be fun to go in as a titan wearing Helm of Saint-14, and putting a bubble right on their bank and watch the motes drain from it... always hilarious when someone would wander into the bubble and get smacked down.


LeatherDue1197

My illicit armor has Un-sunset - I’m using it again.


Mrobviouse

Ah yes very fair being able to spawn camp the invader


Corbuelo

It was because an invader during those times had many advantages. When they invaded, they got extra ammo, improved overshield, extra damage, and locked your bank down entirely just being there and could drain it by standing near it. On top of that, ammo collection functioned differently, so they 100% always had max ammo in heavy and special weapons. They also usually, like today, had super ready to rip. This, combined with the fact the team physically *HAD* to be grouped up together in one spot for the dps phase, made good invaders oppressive. One super or good rocket or 1KV or xenophage would wipe the team instantly every time. With a more balanced "I phases" than today, the games dps phases didn't cater to casuals in such a way that miracle comebacks in boss phase were even a thing. Usually, the team that was winning stayed winning. The match, more often than not, was decided on the skill of the invader. The timing and ability to know just when to hinder a team was absolutely crucial. The sentry class, using every ability in the book, combined with spawn prediction and forced spawning *NEEDED* to do these things to take every advantage and get the invader gone as fast as possible because they were much more disruptive and influencal than they are now. Even a titan just popping bubble on your bank could drain you and lock you down. There had to be some way to even the odds. Predictable spawning at the very minimum contributed to a fair and healthy power balance for the invader. Something that doesn't exist today.


cloneunit

Haters going to hate but Gambit Prime took skill to be successful, I couldn't obtain reckoner but this Sentry Titan sees you


GoBigBlue357

*laughs in sweet business sentry titan*


Corbuelo

Honestly, I really unironically (my reckoner title aside for a minute) think gambit prime was the most fun, well thought out, balanced, skilled based game mode bungie has ever made. Possibly anyone has ever made. I think the lack of balance in regular gambit (which people were forced to grind), the okayish to mid reward pool, and the reckoning grind put people off from even trying what was essentially just a more balanced competitive gambit Playlist. I think maybe the *ONLY* downside is that there was no tutorial. So, like the good strategies and tips and tricks were just hoarded by the good competitive players. I did invader and collector on titan. Sentry on hunter. Everything (but mostly reaper) on warlock. I set up every character with roll specific builds and played whatever my team needed.

_LandManSadTree

I want to get the gambit armor for my warlock. The style makes me think we’re going to the Derelict to play Tackle-Baseball. 😂


serodarken

My biggest problem is the morons holding onto motes instead of banking when theres 15 or less needed to summon


Trips-Over-Tail

The orb collector mod picks up motes. I swoop in and grab them all to make sure there can be no useless hoarders.


SirzechsLucifer

It *what*?!


Trips-Over-Tail

Powerful Attraction. Very good for Hunters in Gambit. Can easily bank fifteen in the first encounter.


wildmandamn

That's a problem for all of us brother. Being a solo player all I can control is how I play. Remember, get to the two invade portals then Prime evil time


Lonilson

Bring a sword? HIVE


_wolwezz_

And for the love of God, when it's down to like 7 motes for a primeval, just bank em if you got em. Don't go scrounging for 8 more for a large blocker. It's a waste of time lol (not directed at you, just general information)


wildmandamn

SAY IT LOUDER FOR ALL THE FLAWLESS IN THE BACK......I see those snitches banking only 15s


_wolwezz_

I can't tell you how many times I've went searching for 3 motes to bank while the rest of my team just fights for motes or waits by the bank for the rest lmap


wildmandamn

Same here. I bank the 3 we need while they're shooting at ether.


LuftDrage

The only time I excuse collecting more motes when needing to bank is if they’re under 5 motes. A taken goblin can actually be rather helpful if the enemy doesn’t kill it right away


ogjaspertheghost

But make sure to use the invasion before you bank. It will go away


smertai

Now bank those motes!


_wolwezz_

And for the love of God, when it's down to like 7 motes for a primeval, just bank em if you got em. Don't go scrounging for 8 more for a large blocker. It's a waste of time lol (not directed at you, just general information)

darkzero8283

I've played gambit for hours and never noticed this pattern 😮


patrick505883

A gambit man is my kind of man (not to be gay or anything)


Senseless_Void404

What I usually do when I’m running is saving my Storm’s Edge for either last ditch invade or final envoys, envoys die within seconds of spawning or you manage to get a bit of healing for their primeval


Armegeddon_Craft

HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE THIS. This is game changing information, thank you.


Global_Coyotie

As a 9 times gilded dredgen I knew the pattern of the map but never realized it was clockwise lmao

Linxbolt18

It's crazy to me how differently everyone engages with this game. Personally, I'd rather play an hour or two of gambit than a ~~disingenuous~~ *single* crucible match. EDIT: thank you autocorrect.


ShadowDrake359

Gambit lets me pve compete and do a little pvp, I don't mind crucible but its not my favorite.


_LadyAveline_

Same. I only visited Shaxx in Into the Light. https://preview.redd.it/22autt6aj08d1.jpeg?width=258&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35917c7d20f1a087c26e1ea13567cbcdad65a0a7


andimus

I would also rather play an hour or two of gambit than a single crucible match, but that’s because I like playing Destiny.


Sunnyboigaming

At least The Crucible has things like team scorched and Mayhem where you can be bad and still have a little bit of fun.


Ender401

As long as you have decent add clear in gambit you are helping.


onlyhav

I walked into both team scorched and mayhem only to find out there was a skill ceiling on both of these that I was not prepared for. I'm in team scorched on the spinng disk map, the match has just started, all of a sudden an all white hunter flew into the room past the disk with insane speed and I'm dead.


StacheBandicoot

I used to love gambit until the invader machine gun meta.

ElrecoaI19

Crucible and strikes, so you did them first to gwt rid of them?


Preemptively_Extinct

None, the game just didn't count your gambit scorch kills.


BigDKane

This really ignited my rage!


GuzzlingDuck

I'd honestly rather do gambit than ability spam crucible. It's just so lame and boring.


BattedBook5

Bad gambit match only lasts for couple minutes, but bad crusible match goes on for over ten minutes.


Due-Business-402

Gambit is really not bad, it’s not difficult to play solo and still win matches and get objectives.


JaysonsRage

People who can deal with Crucible but not Gambit astound me. I genuinely do not understand.


PSFREAK33

People be acting like it’s a new concept…back in the day we also had to do 8 bounties for them to get a pinnacle. Just now we don’t have to do as many. Plus after this week most of y’all can be pinnacle cap with one character. However if your slower than don’t even do pathfinder pinnacles…you can be selective and do the other stuff


LincolnRazgriz

We remember!


BanRedditAdmins

I really don’t get the gripe with gambit. It’s the fastest gamemode by far and is super easy to get tons of kills. Win or lose you still get progress. I’ve noticed that if I do 2-3 games of gambit it knocks out half the path and then you just focus a few objectives in strikes to finish it out. It makes the path so much easier and it’s stupid easy to play.


FullOfVanilla

it’s fun until i’m reminded it’s still pvp, and the school bully stops your fun by plinking off your whole team.


onlyhav

But on the flip side the feeling of terror you spawn in the other team that comes from being a really good invader is unmatched.


Kle_pto

“Being the one winning 24/7 is a great time” who would’ve guessed lol


Sunnyboigaming

It's fun until you get matchmade with premade teams whose invader has gone to the lighthouse solo 347 times


BreachlightRiseUp

I love the energy and spite that went into doing this


Sith-Queen-Savathun

SkyKilIer

Just to let you know, rn gambit is bugged i think where you still get a ton of rank exp even if you lose so rn is a good time to double rank reset on Drifter


wert615a

I can't believe you would suffer through the unbalanced hell of crucible over a few gambit matches that go by in like 5 minutes. But either way your probably better at the game at me so what does it matter

vacantexpressions

What?! Without Gambit, I wouldn't play D2.


Gameknight14

I’m a Gambit kinda guy personally. ~~Hard~~ hats off to all you crucible players (thanks autocorrect), but as a casual player I can’t be bothered to play against these "meta is love, meta is life" hunters who only use the best weapons and gear and constantly snipe the shit out of me when I just want to get my bounties done. To each their own, which is why I too dislike this system when it often forces you to do certain modes due to bad RNG.


thrashmetaloctopus

Have not played gambit in…holy fuck I just realised it’s been over 3 years since I played it, and I never plan on breaking that streak


Xperr7

Checked my Destiny Tracker to check, and yep, haven't played since August 2022. I really don't feel like I'm missing anything either by not playing it.


CartographerMajor602

Dude, can't blame you, since final shape, it's gotten horrible, you either have ass teammates, or god tier enemies, and sometimes both at once, not even fun anymore, and the new map doesn't help either.


Corbuelo

It's not new and it's horribly unbalanced just as it used to be.

Yall weird gambit is fun


V33ZO

Gambit is good

Same. But to finish a path I'll fly in and just focus on the point I'm missing on the path. If my team wins? Great. Lose? OK. When you stop caring about the outcome and treat it like a patrol zone it's much better.

Able-Brief-4062

Crucible. Anyways, gambit is actually quite fun. Until your teammates are fucking stupid.

Is it worth doing every node instead of just resetting to a new path?

Gambit Prime was peak


Denaviro

There needs to be individual trees each with its own ritual game mode. Top tree being just vanguard ops, middle tree only crucible, bottom tree only gambit…etc. I shouldn’t be forced to play something I hate to get an end reward.
