Gambit Playing Guide

So this post is for people who are new to gambit and play without a mic as a solo. [b]What is gambit[/b] It's a pve and pvp combined mode game. 1 teams of 4 kill bad guys and bank motes to summon a primeval. First one to kill the primeval wins. You can invade or be invaded. Invaders can kill players from opposing teams. You can also kill an invader in your territory. Collected motes must be deposited in a bank at center of your map. Depositing 5, 10 or 15 motes sends a small, medium or large blocker to the opposing team's territory. A blocker blocks your bank and you cannot deposited motes until the blocker is dead. Multiple blockers can be sent at a time. When multiple blocker are sent, the opposite team's motes are slowly transferred to your bank. The size of blocker does not matter. 2 small blockers will siphon motes just like 2 large blockers. [b]Strategies[/b] [i]Kill quickly[/i] Killing enemies quickly ensures you are ahead in the collection game. [i]Mote sensibility[/i] If you have 5 motes and a teammate has 4 then let them pick the 5th so that you both can send blockers. If someone has 13, let them pick 2 to send the large blocker. Don't be the guy who has just 6 motes while his teammate has 14. Its a team game. [i]Don't die[/i] Death loses motes. If you have killed a lot of ads and collected motes then ue death will wate those motes and your team will have to find other source of motes to make up for the loss. [i]Heavy ammo[/i] Leave heavy ammo for the invader. Only pick it up if you are ready to invade during mote collection phase. [i]Kill blockers[/i] Just see a blocker then kill it. [i]Invasion[/i] Portal opens to other team when you deposited enough motes. There are markers in your mote progress bar to tell you how many motes you need to open the portal. Invasion is only useful when other team has undeposiyed motes. You can also invade to annoy them so that they waste time chasing you. Snipers and seeking rockets or linear fusions are really good for annoying other team. Supers are best as last resort. [i]Invade only if[/i] Invade only if you have good weapons for pvp kills. Pve weapons may not be good for invasion. Heavies are normally good so ensure you have heavy or a super for killing pvp style (golden gun is a good example). [i]level matters[/i] PvP level advantages are enables. If you are 1250 and enemy team is 1330 then good luck with dps on guardians. It won't end well. [i]Primal envoy[/i] Kill envoys before using your super on the big guy. You can see the buff at bottom left. Envoys always have void shields so it helps a bit with matching weapon. [i]Primeval[/i] The boss is normally a tough taken enemy. To kill it you need to weaken it by killing envoys. 2 envoys spawn with the appearance of boss. Kill them to get damage buff before wasting wasting your heavy on the boss. More envoys appear when you damage the boss a bit more. Killing these envoys will increase the boss damage buff. 4x buff is enough to kill the boss with supers or heavies very quickly. [i]Healing opposite team's primeval[/i] When the opposite team has a primeval you can invade and kill the othe players to heal their primeval. See section about invasion above to check how to do this. More? Feel free to add more tips below.

  • When you start having your bank drained of motes DONT wait until ita drained to help your team! Help them out! That last mote can wait!

  • When Drifter says "You got enough motes. Bank & summon the primeval" then for the love of *** Bank your motes. Don't be the guy with 12 motes trying to get 3 more for 15 when only 5 are needed to summon the primeval.

    • Gambit Playing Guide (satire) Main goal: kill the most adds and bank the most motes. Most importantly, [b]DON’T[/b] work as a team [b]ALWAYS[/b] try to get 15 motes. If you lose them, then you suck. If you have 7 mote and your teammate has 14, pick up that last mote before him. [b]ALWAYS[/b] steal your teammates hard earned motes. If someone else looks like they wanna invade, jump in the portal before them. If you have 15 motes and the portal is up, go through the portal without banking. No risk, no reward (side note, had some idiot do this in a match. Was killed instantly and lost 15 motes) Spam eyes of tomorrow/truth when invading. Kill the people with less motes first [b]NEVER[/b] kill the envoys first. Blow all your ammo on the boss right away. Most importantly: Jump in front of your teammates rockets, supers, etc.

        • An invader only needs the heavy ammo if they’re using a heavy when they invade for kills. Some people have heavy weapons intended for Prime Evil DPS. Many people invade with no plans to use a heavy. Using a special or primary to do their killing. Depending on the team’s dynamic, the invader taking the heavy ammo is not nearly as beneficial as somebody else using it to melt the PE.

              Here's a big one: Focus on being the first team to get 25 in the bank, period. Don't be the guy with the last motes your team needs to invade. Every Gambit player knows the first successful invasion is massive and starts the steamroll.

            • Wish I saw this last night, took me a couple matches to figure it out. Gambit is actually solid, won a couple matches trying to get that engram.

                Step 1: Get a fireteam because bungie will match you against solos because bungie couldn't possibly match solos against solos. Step 2: Equip Xenophage or 1000 Voices Step 3: Ruin the enemy teams experience

              • Here are some actual tips: -Never use your super on a wave if someone else is using theirs (specifically roaming supers) -Use your super wisely. If you have a roaming super, you can usually clear out an entire wave. -MOST IMPORTANTLY: If a teammate uses their super and generates a bunch of motes, GRAB THEM FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!! I’ve seen enough motes disappear because my teammates are too incompetent to pick up the 50 motes I generate.

                  • Mote sensibility 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 Whilst I totally agree with the idea, I just know that NO ONE, ever in the history of match made solo gambit ever thinks about others when they collect the motes. 1 game in a 100 I actually find someone who is considerate in this regard. 99 games out of a 100 are full of mote thieves who are rushing into your kills and hoovering up your motes, it's not just inconsiderate, it actually hurts the entire team as everyone else then has to risk dying to rush in if they want any hope at all of collecting a single mote. It also drains moral and causes friction between people who are supposed to be working together. A large number of the games I've lost usually have a guy like this in.

                    Anyone else notice that bounties no longer give rep (infamy) when completed? How long has that been going on? I just noticed recently. Nice guide by the way!

                      [b]Golden rules of Gambit[/b] - Kill -blam!- - Bank -blam!- (esp when Drifter yells at you about it) - -blam!- on the primeval EDIT: well, a certain other word for poop is now filtered. Aw :(

                      • Top tree dawnblade, 100 melee, sunbracers, momentum transfer, Transfiguration with rampage/kill clip(last wish scout), any auto loading blinding grenade launcher, eyes of tomorrow (dsc rocket). There's a decent build to help get started
