Only a few weeks left until Season 5 in Destiny 2 ends. Bungie has now announced what changes Guardians can expect in the new season for Gambit. The goal is to make the mode more attractive.
This is why Gambit will be important next season: Season 6 will focus on the Gambit mode and its host, the Drifter. The PvEvP mode is expected to receive new maps and even private matches.
This will change in Gambit in Season 6: In this context, the developers at Bungie want to implement numerous improvements to make the mode more attractive and respond to community feedback.
These adjustments have now been presented in the latest “This Week at Bungie” blog. Here are all known changes so far:
- The third round of Gambit will be the K.O. mode and starts directly with the fight against the primeval. This aims to shorten Gambit matches and make the final round faster-paced. This addresses one of the biggest criticisms from fans – the long match duration.
- Another point of criticism, the spawn points of the invaders, will also be addressed. The number of possible spawn positions for invaders on each map will be increased. This will reduce the chance of spawning directly in front of an opponent.
- Additionally, with the inactivity protection, another requested feature will be added. Guardians who are inactive for too long will not receive rewards or infamy points at the end of the match.
- Blocker enemy types will be adjusted based on the amount delivered.
- Small Blocker is a Taken Goblin. This has less health than the previous Phalanx.
- Medium Blocker will be a Taken Captain, but with more health than the previous Knights.
- Large Blocker is a Taken Knight with more health than the previous Ogre.
- Additionally, the Triumph “Light vs. Light” will be revised. It will now be enough to eliminate any Guardians with a Super. You will no longer have to focus only on invaders.
Note that these are not all the upcoming changes for the Gambit mode. More information will follow soon.
Bonus points for the season finale: By the way, to properly close out Season 5 in Gambit, there will be triple infamy points in Destiny 2 from 26.02. to 05.03.
What do you think of these adjustments? Does Gambit become more attractive for you because of this? Or can you not relate to this mode with these changes?
