Everyone knows that death heals Primeval, but not everyone knows all of the intricacies of how the Primeval Slayer buff works. The Gambit Design team wanted to clear up a few misconceptions.
[quote]There appear to be some misconceptions about the “Primeval Slayer” buff in Gambit, particularly with how the leading team’s buff count affects the trailing team’s, so we’d like to take this opportunity to shed some light on it!
• Our intent for the Primeval phase is that the team that summons first gains advantage.
• The number of Primeval Slayer stacks held is unique to each team.
• If one team is significantly advanced in their Primeval Slayer stacks, the team that is behind receives ‘bonus’ stacks when spawning their own Primeval. However, the number of bonus stacks received is always going to be less than the leading team’s current total. Think of it as a tow cable trailing behind the leading team.
• There is a limit to the catch-up mechanic’s generosity. Even if the leading team is at Primeval Slayer x10, the lagging team will never start out with more than a few stacks when spawning their Primeval.
Our twin goals have been hitting the right balance between elasticity and competitiveness and fostering close, dynamic games. Now that Gambit is out in the wild, we’re closely monitoring the conversation around the Primeval phase (and playing a ton of it ourselves).
Happy Hunting,

I get the intention of this, but I’ve seen very good arguments against this idea, the best being that the ammunition it takes to build those stacks is precious. With the trailing team being allowed more invades to heal the primeval, and then having free stacks... it actually causes the leading team to waste a significant amount of ammunition compared to the trailing team, which will begin their primeval with a buff and nearly full heavy and super for most of their team. This unfortunately is very abusable and should be looked at further, I think.

The drifter should say sleeper inbound 🙄
-
All that, and not once did you say how exactly we get the buffs...
-
All the crying in these forums astounds me stop playing if its that broken to you and if not then expect no game is perfect and destiny is still a work in progress theres always gonna be stuff wrong you should all know this from d1 they fix one thing they break another you would think you guys would pay attention 🙄
-
I am enjoying it quite a bit regardless. Have had some of those close matches where I have come from behind as well when the other team has. Its intense and enjoyable. Great game mode.
-
Anyone getting killed extremely quick compared to last week? I don't really understand the buffs, but I know some parts. However, I was getting one shoted by the ads multiple times a match. The invaders were even worse.

Happy Hunting, The Gambit Design team[/quote][/quote] Alright, this is some BS. Either remove the buff, or make it to where the opposing team does not get any buffs for trailing. If they fall behind, it's because of their own incompetence. Don't reward them for it. I've lost matches because these players manage to summon a Primeval, and then Insta-melt it. Is that fair? Hell. No. Get it right, Bungie.

I can honestly say I didn't know that and also how fin stupid that is. After you do all your work this week, come do mine and give me your check. Pretty much the same dam thing. Must be part of the way things go now. No ,loser everybody wins,thats what they teach the kid's now. Shame they don't learn the truth, in life there are winners and losers, you have to pull your OWN weight. The real world is going to be a shocker !

I only hate Gambit because of a few choice things. 1: Sleeper Stimulant 2: Sleeper Stimulant 3: Sleeper Stimulant 4: Sleeper Stimulant 5: The obvious lack of the Chimera boss.
-
Sleeper has made gambit very very boring.
-
I’d rather you concentrate on sorting out your rubbish competitive mode or make the Luna easier to obtain!!! Fabled for not so good players in the state competitive is in is ridiculous!! Why is it you lot don’t give a shit about us non elite players!!!
-
Seriously this shitty -blam!-ing gambit so -blam!-ing broken...bungie you couldn't design a sodding postcard never mind a game..rules in gambit becimpletely crap.have extreme lag or and not to use anything but sleeper ..give in 2 weeks and your game is desd
-
You shouldn’t get any buff you did NOT EARN. What is this, T-Ball in 2018?!? You kids never would have made it through the 80s.
-
Oh it's Cosmo. Ignores the whole post. I stopped caring about the Mouth Pieces of the forums forever ago. Clearly none of them play the game until they need to be on cam. Because if any of these folks did they wouldn't need us telling them. Someone find me that *hello fellow teens *gif That's what I picture. Can't wait to see how Luke Smith shits down my throat and sells me D3 at the next E3. God let Anthem be the Killer of D

Why is it that when we get something awesome from you guys its always tainted with something awful? Gambit is awesome. But it is completely ruined by these mechanics and 1 weapon.
-
Please ignore all those saltbags... I think that it's good to get a few stacks, even if you are miles behind! And if we're being honest, if you can't kill the Primeevil with x5 before the enemy team kills theirs with x1, you're generally a bad player! Hate comments incoming...

Edited by MindfulPizza: 10/4/2018 11:15:35 AMJust fixed that chose of the invader weapons matter , to the other team , if weapon to overpower , it gives that person a heavy ammos stuff and super energy to the team , or player on death spawns , if invader wipes us all out he get go back with 75% super or full super .
-
Lol so many people just swearing for no reason. Just complaining continously. So many toxic community members, so many assholes. If you say you like the game some lvl 1000 fagass will call you a fanboy. Very pathetic. If you dont like D2, have you tried uninstalling it? The community will be better without you :))
-
Can I please equip 3 sleeper stimulants for Gambit? I'd like one in every slot please.
-
When do we get exotic?
-
Why dont you just remove being able to see the oppositions names when you invade IF your primeval is up? That way it's more high risk high reward and you dont even need to nerf sleeper Or if that's too hard you get 3 seconds of true sight upon invading so you can see where everybody is
-
In other words, they're doing everything they can to make sure the team that you WERE beating is able to invade constantly, and gets buffs to kill the primeval.
-
I want to see you jump in for dozens of matches since launch for which I've lost 98% because I get getting put with shit bag players because of your matchmaking and see how fun you think this crap mode is!!
-
So... nothing regarding splitting up clans from solo player teams? No?... ok 😪
-
Seems so artificial
-
Gambit is awesome, but can you fix thw drop rates or sell different things? I have reset infamy rank twice and still havent got the auto rifle
