Destiny 2: Forsaken: Gambit

Gambit is the latest PvPvE mode to come to Destiny 2, and we're big fans of it.

This week, you'll be able to earn double and triple infamy in Gambit, so now's as good a time as any to jump into our favourite PvPvE move in Destiny 2.

Whilst most players find Gambit enjoyable to play, the most common complaint has been about quitters. Gambit rounds go on for a while, and because of the mode's reliance on teamwork, losing a player comes with a massive hit to the team score.

Gambit's join-in-progress works incredibly well. What's more, quitting in the middle of a Gambit match will incur penalties, much to the delight of players.

Senior technical designer Peter Sarrett revealed this on Reddit, putting players' minds at ease.

Gambit, in case you missed it, is a new competitive mode that blends PvE and PvP.

In it, two teams fight waves of AI enemies separately. Each enemy defeated drops a token, a Mote, which players can bank to spawn a boss. During the round, both teams are able to send over more enemies to either side or invade their opponents' play area to disrupt their scoring.

Gambit launched as part of the big Forsaken expansion. Bungie has released more details about its upcoming Festival of the Lost which will feature a Haunted Forest, a quest to find Master Ives and a costume party!
