In Destiny 2 there is currently a bug in Gambit. Players are being repeatedly kicked out or entire matches are ending. Apparently, the cause is level-ups. The developer Bungie has already spoken out.
What is currently happening in Gambit? According to reddit user MrFOrzum, there is currently a bug in the game mode Gambit that urgently needs to be fixed. The problem seems to be the players’ level-ups.
Whenever a player levels up with their character, there seems to be a chance that an opponent will be kicked from the game or even the entire match will end.
He currently describes Gambit as unplayable.
What do other users say? On reddit, many other users report issues in Gambit that they have not been able to classify so far. These include disconnects, game freezing, or many 2-against-3 duels.
The thread currently has over 6,000 upvotes and thus ranks number one in the subreddit. The problem seems to be making big waves.
But we also had indications of the problem on MeinMMO. Reader Chriz Zle commented under the article against cheaters in trials:
Hopefully, the change didn’t bring about these bugs in Gambit. Just yesterday, 3 players from the opposing team were kicked out, and in the next game, my teammate and I were kicked out due to freezing. Next game, I was back in the opposing team.
This can’t be a coincidence!
Bungie has acknowledged the issues
What does Bungie say? On reddit, community manager dmg04 has already commented on the issues in Gambit:

What is the Gambit mode? Gambit is a PvEvP mode where two teams compete against each other. Depending on the variant, a match consists of up to three rounds played on different maps with different bosses.
In the PvE part, particles from mobs are collected. Once a team collects 25 particles, it can open a portal and send a player to the opponents. Then PvP action is added. Over time, Gambit was expanded to the Prime mode and a greater focus on the Vagabond as game master.
