This week, you will once again be made into lab rats in Destiny 2 as Invaders become tricky particle thieves in Gambit. While “Invasion Swap” was active last week, Bungie’s PvEvP mode will launch tomorrow with the test “Particle Thief”. MyMMO tells you why your bank will become a camping spot.
What is Bungie currently testing in Gambit? Bungie is currently examining how the PvEvP mode Gambit can offer players a bit more variety. That’s why the Gambit Labs have been set up to test different variations in gameplay with you. Furthermore, Gambit has also fundamentally changed.
- Players can now start solo in Gambit by playing the Freelance playlist.
- Ammunition economy has been adjusted to ensure fairer matches.
- The Primeval fight has been changed and now requires more movement.
- The Vagabond has also received the new reputation rank system with Engram focusing.
- And the Invaders must endure a few more restrictions than before, for example, they can no longer see how many particles you are carrying.
Last week, “Invasion Swap” was already active in the Gambit Labs, which caused quite a bit of confusion among players. This Labs variant toyed with who benefited from triggered invasions and made it tactically more important how and when to deposit particles as a team. However, without communication, it was something that could not really be timed well.
- Instead of opening your own invasion portal at 40 and 80 Motes, the invasion portal of your opponents opened instead.
This week, Bungie will activate the Gambit variation “Particle Thief” and aims to create a new captivating Invader fantasy or perhaps a new player nightmare.
- The normal Mote deduction by two blockers will be deactivated.
- Every second the Invader stands next to your bank, a particle will flow directly from your bank to the Invader’s bank.
The good news is that, due to the change, you will initially not lose any particles if two blockers from the opposing team besiege your bank. This option will be disabled.
The bad news is that instead, the Invader takes on this task. Their goal is to raid your bank for as long as possible during their invasion phase. To achieve this, the Invader simply needs to stay near your bank and can then let your hard-earned particles flow to their team with every second that passes.
Watch out, campers are coming! So prepare for Invaders to not only focus on you, but perhaps also set up their “bubble tent” around your bank and get comfortable there. Your goal must be to prevent the Invader from reaching your bank by any means necessary.
When will “Particle Thief” be active in the Gambit Lab? The test mode “Particle Thief” will be active with the weekly reset on April 26 at 7 PM in Gambit, so you can try it out from then on.
Have you already participated in the Gambit Labs? What were your experiences with “Invasion Swap”? Would this be a variation for Bungie’s PvEvP mode that you would like to play again or do you see more potential in “Particle Thief”? Please share your opinion with us in the comments.
