  • Fellow Legends, welcome! Today we dive into another excellent Tom Christie video, this time where we revisit the all too often forgotten game mode Gambit. Once a game mode with a thriving player base and hardcore fans, Gambit has unfortunately fallen to the wayside in recent years and sees next to no official support. Those that have played Gambit will know everything this video has to offer. I absolutely loved watching this, and if you did as well then I do absolutely recommend you go and check out the original video to show some support for the source material!

    #1 Rule of Gambit: If you reached 15. HAUL ASS AND DEPOSIT.

      Because words cannot describe of the anger I had. Because one gambit match almost like 4 months ago on the New Pacific Gambit map. I had this one person who name was in Korean. He reached 15 motes and for like the entire first half of the match never deposited them. I had to yell at him on the mic to deposite. And I reached 75 motes deposited where he deposited only those. It did not helped that I had to carry because the team I was in was 1 guardian short. So please if you play gambit and reached either 15 motes or enough motes to summon a Primeavle. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF JEHOVA DEPOSIT THEM.

    The best part is that Skeletor Hates Gambit is actually a follow-up to Skeletor Hates Solar Warlocks. Watch that one, pay special attention to Beast-Man's loadout, and the next time you watch the ending of this you'll laugh that much harder. Sweet revenge.

    There's a tragic sense of hilarity in knowing someone doing comedy sketches as Skeletor and He-Man, explaining the meta and sometimes corporate malpractice which is informative, entertaining as well as retaining. I don't play Destiny nor Destiny 2 and I can get a solid understanding of the random bullshit the game (specifically having raids in mind) and Bungie can pull outta their ass.

    when i see someone hogging a full 11, 12, 13 motes, maybe even 14 or 15, in gambit, as we only need 1-2 to summon the big boy, i will purposefully grab the few last remaining motes myself quickly, go to the bank, and dunk the motes right in front of them to blueball them from their big dunk riiiight before they can do it themselves.
    i'm gonna make you learn the hard way, kid. Bank. your. motes.
    Also, *Happy circular logic noises* , with Feeding Frenzy/Demo, SO DAMN USEFUL with Stasislock. it carried me so hard during my 2 last Day 1 raids

    • @KipReacts
      @KipReacts  Před 8 měsíci +2

      Oh yeah, I've definitely snaked the 1-2 motes just to drop the Primeval. Bank your motes or I will.

  • @LordRaine
    @LordRaine Před 8 měsíci +11

    I stopped playing this game ages ago, but I played Gambit religiously because it was honestly the only game mode that was any fun anymore. Whether you bank fast or wait for a blocker is a bit more strategic and flexible, and honestly depends on how many blockers they have up and if the enemy team is choking or not. If you've got a group on the other side, going for the last few motes to add another can really help, because one Knight isn't a problem, but three knights and a Captain absolutely are. Also, IN SKELETOR'S DEFENSE, I distinctly recall an achievement that required you to invade and get kills with 10+ motes, so Bungie encouraged that behavior. I don't condone it, but he could just be cheevo hunting.
    Honestly, the best strategy I found isn't delaying cashing in for blockers, but rather waiting if possible to group block with somebody else. Sending three 10s over in staggered intervals is easy to clean up, but pushing three 10s right on top of each other can be a huge issue and get enemy players killed. Especially if you have someone on-point with the invasion, who will go in immediately afterwards and clean house while they're distracted and the bank is locked.
    What's a good idea or a bad idea in Gambit is flexible and depends on the situation and how cooperative (and skilled) your team is. Sometimes waiting to push that last blocker through is a great idea. Sometimes it's better to rush immediately and start burning through Envoys. Gambit was honestly the coolest and most interesting game mode Destiny had, and the fact that Bungie functionally abandoned it to crank out endless pay-to-play dungeons and raids feels like an insult. They abandoned the PvP and PvEvP players to cater exclusively to the PvE players, and then they ditched them to go make their new baby, Marathon. It's not a great look.

    @LordRaine Před 8 měsíci +4

    Also, I know for a fact you can go 5-0 in old Gambit, because I once got 7-0 by being a greasy rat and just cheesing the enemy team. It was a combination of me having the heavy, me having an exotic heavy, and them already struggling on the brink of a wipe due to problems on their end. I killed the whole team and then almost did it again. In their defense, I did have a Truth.

    I didn't play much PVP in D2, so I'm guessing Gambit was a game mode from D2 because I don't remember doing any of this. I actually didn't do much of anything in D2 aside from beating the main story and doing some strikes when the game first came out because I just got bored of the game since there was no end game content early on and you could get to end game really fast compared to D1.
