Gambit is an all-new mode introduced inDestiny 2: Forsakenexpansion, and it’s arguably the best part of the DLC.
It’s also a tad confusing if you’re jumping into it sight unseen, so here’s some tips to help you along and assist you in picking up that shiny new Ace of Spades.
Think of Gambit as a game of two goals: slamming balls (motes) into your goal, and killing a boss after you slam 75. That’s it. You operate as a team of four on your own individual map, which is linked to an identical enemy map by way of a portal. Along the way you can mess with your opponent’s board with “blocks” and visit their arena, thus creating PVP situations.
Let’s start with the most important tip: how to clear the first step of the Cayde’s Will questline, which unlocks the Ace of Spades.
To actually knock the quest out you’ll want to use the Drang (purple energy sidearm) and Sturm (exotic kinetic hand cannon) combo. These weapons actually combo off one another in that killing enemies with Drang will power up Sturm. What you’ll want to do is off a ton of enemies with Drang, saving Sturm up for blowing invaders away.
Now’s your chance to invade and really capitalize on this power play.
Save your supers for three cases: if someone is invading you and your team is holding a lot of motes, if you’re about to invade a team yourself and they’re holding onto motes, or right at the exact moment a boss appears. In the latter situation you’ll be able to immediately clear out all of the trash and focus in on the boss with all of your heavy ammo.
