The gamemode is hot garbage, we all know it. Going to bank the first motes and MEDIUM BLOCKER INBOUND!!! LARGR BLOCKER INBOUND!!!!!! Then they invade, wipe ur team and BOOM that's game folks. How is that fun to literally anyone
Edit: Btw, that was an example. If you think that's the only reason why others and myself despise the gamemode your crazy.

I like gambit.
-
Really? I rather enjoy it. I mean yeah, it’s a giant pain when you’re bank-blocked like that.. but I can’t fault the other team for playing better than me.
-
I solo queue Gambit and still enjoy it.

Join and shoot once a while and throw grenade while you watch a movie or so.

2 RepliesI have so many reasons I don't like Gambit but the most frustrating is having ammo perks on but still fighting the boss with only primary because my drops were crap that match. The invader part needs a complete overhaul. You pretty much die from the invader, watch the timer, spawn in the back of the map, run all the way back to the boss as the next invasion begins.

3 RepliesInvasions are the absolute bane of this mode. 1 invasion per round, that’s it. Use it wisely and it’s done. Mode sorted.

i mean most people hate gambit. the solstice armor step of playing gambit is more of a pain then killing mini bosses tbh -__-

1 ReplyIt’s also got the worst drop rate for weapons. I’ve only received 3 weapons and have never seen the scout, pulse or auto rifle. Just not worth the frustration of playing and losing and getting the same gun over and over. Wish they would just take it out and spend some time on pvp like new maps and addressing certain issues.

reg. Gambit = zzzz.
-
Eh, I actually still have fun with it. Love the random meatball boss. The loot is cool for the most part. The only mode in the 'Gambit lineup' I'm not thrilled with is the Reckoning... wish the sword for that would drop in regular Gambit :)
-
Yeah, it's not fun. It's just normally rage inducing.
-
2 RepliesI definitely understand. Regular gambit is not super great. Of particular annoyance is if you are crushing the other team and get your Primeevil up first they can basically chain invasions. There’s not really a moment when you aren’t getting invaded. I prefer prime. It’s faster and for some reasons invasions feel less frequent during primeevil damage phase. Also banking motes when you have less than 15 is only feasible if it gets you to that invasion when it’s critical. Hiding and/or killing invaders is very doable. If you are scared wait for a teammate to engage the invader. A good loadout I like to use is Huckleberry, Loaded Question, Wendigo/21% depending on if you plan to invade or not. Solo queuing can be painful. If you are playing in PlayStation add me. I’m always looking to expand my friends list and have fun.

just replace heavy drops with special.... people came the heavy and LMG are so dumb, they map like a scout and takes no skill and people think there the best invader and all they do in invade with T-lord lmao trash

2 RepliesGambit was fun the first week or 2 of launch then it just became this hot mess it is now, where one weapon reins supreme over everything when invading an ATM it's the truth but many weapons have been nerfed to get to this point. I honestly don't see any changes to this game mode in the near future it's kinda like bungie has washed there hands with it.
-
I think each person on your team should get 1 invasion token each. They use that token to activate the portal and only the player who activated it can use it. This game has never been ‘Gambit’. It’s always been whatever the current best long range invasion weapon is. The game has gone through many iterations, the most popular being: Sleeper Simulant : The PVPE mode Queenbreaker : The game And the current one. Truth 2 : Forsaken

2 RepliesYeah I have to agree. I used to enjoy Gambit and am on my 13th Infamy reset, but now the thought of playing it makes me cringe. There's just far too much reliance on heavy ammo with invaders in my opinion, and the fact that in alot of games the opposing team seems to have an unending supply of heavy ammo whilst I'm lucky to see 1 single purple ammo brick drop over 2 full rounds, makes the game feel unbalanced as hell. Plus the matchmaking is crap. Too often you will be matched against 4 guys/girls whom all know how to play and are highly skilled, but your team has been given all the new players or just players with clearly bugger all Gambit experience, and you will get absolutely destroyed over and over. It can however be fun when you go in with your friends and not take it too seriously.
-
2 RepliesI agree, I've hated Gambit since it was launched and Gambit Prime is even worse. Both were mistakes.
-
Every time the enemy spot changes go bank That works for me I keep spamming small blockers but if your teammates are bad you're done, you can't really carry in gambit it depends on your matchmaking luck And yeah it's so long and annoying.
-
I don't feel cheated. I can handle invaders, and can invade just fine. It's not imbalanced or unfair in any way. I just don't think it's fun.
-
I stopped trying to win and just played after too many loses in a row ultimately now that I don’t give a shit it has been quite entertaining playing with randoms

10 RepliesEdited by Viguier: 8/2/2019 11:41:36 AMAt least it is better than PVP. You can't imagine how many time i losed because i am the only guy trying to kill the blockers. A lot of people also prefer to die with 14 motes instead of banking 10. There are so much people who do not understand this game mode.

2 RepliesGambit = aggravation The game idea i dont hate... Its the strength and durability of enemies and that im 740+ power and it doesnt effect my strength in it too much. Imo That and if we can be seen by invaders(the icon on our player), the invader should have a icon viewable across the map on them.

4 RepliesPlayed a whole bunch. Reset my infamy rank a bunch of times. Just don't like it anymore. Invader spam. feeling weak AF against redbars. Scorn on Kells grave.

The game mode is too complicated to be enjoyable - too many mechanics and way too easy to exploit against newbs and casuals. Bungie has a serious problem in making the game enjoyable in any respect except for content creators... Also, fighting against fireteams - not cool in Gambit OR in Crucible...but Bungie have no issue matchmaking a 4-stack against a bunch of newbs...ridiculous and lazy...
