Gambit

No I’m not talking about one of the best X-Men ever, I’m talking about destiny’s new game mode introduced with forsaken. Hey guys hows it going? So when bungie introduced forsaken they also introduced a new PvP game mode called Gambit. Now gambit isn’t your normal pvp mode as it has pve aspects which is what makes this game mode fun to play over n over. Now in gambit players play till they win 2 rounds and how do you win you ask? You summon a special boss called the Primevil now how do you summon said baddie well at the start of the round you get a big map divided into 4 sectors 3 of the 4 sectors spawn bad guys in a rotation when you kill said guys they drop a special object called motes which is basically the game modes currency the last area of the map is a flat platform where your bank rest. Your team must kill the monsters saving their motes till they have either 5, 10 or 15 motes saved to send a blocker to the enemy teams side, this is where it gets fun cause the faster you bank your motes the faster you can open up your invader portal to go to the other side and wreck havoc on the enemy team to make it harder so they can’t summon their primevil. Now I’m not one for competitive play but this is one mode where I have played hours into it, my current rank is mythic 1, this game mode I find it fun to play even with randoms but if you have a group of friends to play with the good times get better. This game mode is how you also get a special quest for the hand cannon malficense I won’t spoil anything from that quest so you can get it yourself. The map rotation is a bit lacking with only 4 maps at the moment but I can completely understand as it will take time to produce more maps cause of having to split it into different areas. The enemies you fight are picked at random from the enemies in game, the only enemies that are a sure threat is the primevil who is a taken boss. I hope to see some new maps added to this game mode in the future maybe even a hybrid gambit iron banner would be epic as well but my biggest request please bungie keep this game mode in future installments of destiny. It’s fun, it’s new, and it gives people a reason to play the competitive scene in destiny that’s all I have to say for this guys hope you enjoyed the read and I’ll catch you next time take care.
