Gambit is one of Destiny 2\u2019s most original features. While the idea of a competitive orb-collection game has been around for a long time, the interference mechanic adds a whole new level to the strategy and enjoyment of the game. Bungie previously indicated that new content should be coming for the mode, but it\u2019s been over a year without a follow-up on that promise and many people are fed up and ready for change. Destiny 2 fans plead to Bungie for Gambit update In August of 2021, Game Director Joe Blackburn revealed that getting new Gambit content into the game was a long-term priority for the devs. \u201cRe: Gambit \u2013 Didn\u2019t want to derail that thread. Long term, we want to get people working on new maps,\u201d he said. \u201cCurrently, we are playtesting all up gambit foundation changes for s16. Focusing on Heavy Ammo econ, primeval fight, invasion cadence\/power, and more.\u201d Now players are asking them to make good on that update as they feel things have grown stale in the years since the mode\u2019s release. One player pieced together a breakdown of the situation and other fans rallied around it. \u201cI know game development is hard but I think two years is enough time to make a new map or even reprise one of the old maps. As of right now, it seems like there will be nothing for Gambit during the year of Lightfall, this will cause Gambit to have gone five years without a new map. \u201cThe people who are upset are completely justified seeing as we were told something basically two years ago with zero results.\u201d Another player noted that maps used to drop \u201cseveral times per year\u201d in the original Destiny, while another brought up that multiple maps were pulled from the game for \u201clighting issues\u201d after the launch of Beyond Light and they still haven\u2019t resurfaced. The original postmaker closed out by noting that all this frustration could be avoided if Bungie would give an update and say whether or not new Gambit maps are even a possibility in the future, or flat-out say that plans have changed and that they\u2019re working on other things. There\u2019s been nothing from Bungie on the matter in quite some time, but the community is clearly at the end of its wits waiting for something new.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Destiny 2 players demand answers about Gambit\u2019s future after five years of no maps BungieDestiny 2 players are rallying behind Gambit and want to know precisely what Bungie plans to do with the classic mode.
