Simple Idea for Gambit
What if we simply had new game modes? Like, Gambit is currently just banking motes. What if Gambit took a note from Crucible and started introducing new game modes?
Such as, what if there was a sort of race mode? Defeat enemies and make it to goals in order to send obstacles to your opponents.
Or maybe a sort of control point mode? Where it's a big arena and your team needs to survive a firefight while holding a zone for points, occasionally sending a big enemy to the opposing team. Think of Onslaught.
What about a hunt mode? Another big arena with plenty of respawning enemies and each team has to find clues on how to draw out their high-value targets?
What if we had more than 2 teams in some of these game modes? Like 3 4-player teams, or maybe even 4 3-player teams? So many ideas that could be had here.

The community doesn't play it enough for that. I know what you thinking: if bungie invested in it, the community would play it. Guess what? No, the community won't lol. Bungie invested in gambit for a year straight, trying to get the community to engage in it. From reg gambit, to prime, to the other activity with the bridge. And the community just wouldn't play it for various reasons. The main ones being: 1. Invading and 2. The bridge part in the activity was too hard. No, I'm not kidding, that was the complaint lol. Anyway, I'm fine they have left it alone. All the changes they were doing to get people to play were ruining the mode and bad for the game in general cause they were balancing around the mode. Since they said they are not balancing it anymore, here are new enemies and a map, play cause you want to, it's been the best its been in a long time. I've gotten better matches and teammates.

I like all of this!! Gambit doesn't have to be just bank this and summon that... there's all sorts of possibilities! The main point is beating the opposition to the winning flag, and there are lots of options for competitive pve!!

How about "Invade" as a game mode ?? Every player has five motes all the time and can invade at any time. The aim is to invade, kill opposing players to get their motes, then nip back through the portal to bank without losing your motes of course. First to 100 gets a Primevil. Once you do the enemy team cannot invade and it's a straight damage phase to kill the boss. The main trick being to avoid all the enemy players as you are trying to bank and also balancing whether it's worth invading for the extra motes .. or do you just kill the enemies in your area and plunder opposing players who invade your area ?? Might be chaos, could be fun. -
I’d like to see a game mode for gambit where you summon a primeval every 25 motes and the first team to kill 3 wins. No invasions, just a straight PVE race. High Value Target Hunt, same as normal gambit but there is an HVT on the field at all times and they are the only enemy that drops motes. Other things I think might be fun, introduce a Heavy Weapon only or Special Ammo Weapon only playlist. Only the heavy or special weapon is active, but infinite ammo. Primeval Slayer, game mode lasts 10 minutes, no motes, just melt as many Primevals as you can, team with the most wins. OR, just scrap Gambit entirely because it’s a great idea on paper, it was fun for a bit, but honestly the game mode just feels like an interruption to regular gameplay. Like I’d rather be doing something else.

2 RepliesSimple idea: Dig a hole. Drop Gambit and the entire D2 game in the hole. Cover it and bury it. Put a tombstone on top of it and write R.I.P. Dead game!🤣🤣🤣 Absolutely nothing here but a shamble mess of shallowness!

4 v 4 tower defense, onslaught and gambit

1 ReplyThey should’ve made Gambit like Warzone from Halo 5. That mode had PvPvE on a large map. It was basically a large scale game of Control, trying to gain ground on you opponent until you could open their homebase and capture it. PvE enemies would spawn around the map adding to the large scale chaos. Sometimes world events would happen that, if completed by your team, would allow for bonuses that help in battle. Knowing Bungie and their spaghetti servers, it probably could never happen, but it could be fun in a Destiny setting.

ooooh ooooh I have an idea, DELETE IT FROM THE GAME
-
The only issue I have is that the new game modes they make for crucible kinda super suck monkey nuts, so I would be concerned they would just make Gambit worse. I don't like Gambit currently. I'd like a reason to play it again. Super in favor of them doing something different with it, but worried at their inability to innovate.

Edited by MechaSpinky: 7/12/2024 1:02:35 PMI think Bungie mentioned the idea of Gambit Labs years ago when Witch Queen was about to come out. I could be wrong, but the idea likely got shuffled down into the trash bin over time.

Edited by йiffiй: 7/12/2024 9:58:56 AMbetter solution: Sunset gambit,focus more on fixing pvp. There are times in gambit where people take it more serious than pvp xD
-
The possibilities for Gambit are huge. Sadly, Bungie doesn’t want to invest much into it. For me, the easiest modes to introduce/reintroduce would be Mayhem and Prime.
-
1 ReplyNot bad. But what if gambit was removed entirely, real factions were reintroduced with weekly weapon refreshes (DeadOrbit, NewMonarchy,FutureWarCult), and Sparrow Racing was introduced with a new league with weekly leaderboards. Either way would be cool
-
Have you noticed how quick players in PvP are to complain about new modes and demand Bungie bring back the "same old, same old?" I don't know Gambit could take that sort of uprising from its base and survive.
-
Instead of giving us 3 more horrible Battlegrounds, they could have put more resources into actually giving any amount of substance to Gambit. But unfortunately they look at the low player counts as evidence that no one plays Gambit, and after only the most minor of changes, it's no wonder everyone is done with it. I love all these ideas that could add plenty of PvPvE gameplay but instead its left out to rot with a single sad little node on a green background.

#deletegambit Stop trying to fix it, just remove it
-
If it had a refresh of weapons then it would be playable. Not just one a season that looks like it was pooped out of the hulk.
-
No invasion mode would be fun imo. The most efficient pve team takes the cake.
-
Just bin it already ….that’s easy !
