Gambit is presently a dumpster fire. There are so many issues that make this mode unbearable to play:
- Severe connection issues
- Mote glitches
- Teleporting enemies
- Invader bugs
- Boss locking - players can use tactics to lock a boss in one position, disabling the bosses ability to attack while getting melted.

The consensus is that Gambit is a great mode that is suffering from a lack of updates, and I agree. Perhaps it’s time for Bungie to consider a major overhaul and a quest line to go with it. I agree that Gambit at its core is a great idea. Maybe throw in a vote for this topic to put this on their radar.
Suggestions for Improvement
+ New levels
+ Mode specific gear that provides mode enhancements. Raid gear does this currently.
+ New mode specific weapons that have mode enhancements.
+ New questline or exotic
+ Mote bug fixes - bouncing and under map bugs
+ Invader glitch fix - invaders occasionally get stuck on the enemy side beyond their time, not teleporting until killed.
+ Connection and matchmaking improvements - match players based on connection and team counts. Getting matched with people who have cheap internet ruins the experience.
+ Teleporting enemies fix - enemies teleport often, and even disappear
+ Boss improvements: no boss locking, phases, more health
+ Invader kills heal Primeval slightly less

I disagree, it's not a dumpster fire, it just needs to be supported/updated with things you mentioned and other things. Things like:
- new maps
- mote issues...whatever they did isnt working, so they need to look further into it
- teleporting enemies...same as mote issues
- undoing the invader nerfs...they need to either: decrease how long it takes for the portal to open; and/or increase how much we heal the primeval with kills...say that cause we can melt the primeval so fast, with how invading is currently setup, usually the first team to get one wins no matter what you do...and invading is supposed to help against that
- matchmaking...no, i'm not talking about making a solo mode, talking more about making it skill-based...i know they've explained it before, but it doesnt feel the way they described when playing...most of the time it feels like 1 team is experienced and the other team isnt....
- find a way to bring back the prime outfit perks...those were fun
