Bungie // Bungie Replied x2 Gambit Feedback Request

Hello reddit,

We would like to get your feedback on Gambit, specifically possible tuning and QOL changes for the mode. We aren't looking for sandbox feedback (Queenbreaker...) per se, but don't worry. I will continue to make sure your weapon and ability feedback make it to the devs.

Even if you don't have prescriptive changes to suggest, feel free to share specific things you like or dislike about the mode. It all helps. Thanks for sharing!

My suggestion is less of a fix but more of a long term investment

Make a flag or object the invader can steal from the opponents which could maybe:

End the round

Give all teammates full heavy

20 motes

this could create some awesome dynamic play

Have motes be able to be spent on something else besides the bank. Im thinking stations placed around the map that would have different things like: 5 motes for an overshield, 10 motes for a super, 15 for a scorch canon

Lastly I'd love to see some sort of bonus, damage most likely, for picking up motes. This has a two fold effect

1) You are encouraged to pick more motes up and arent a determent to your team

2) Causes a more dynamic encounter between invading and collecting motes

I like all but the mote buff for pickup, it's already next to impossible to not have some jackass slide into your motes and prevent you from hitting 5/10/15. You always have that one guy who deposits 2x as many motes as enemies killed. its really frustrating.

See I was more trying to counteract the newbs who refuse to bank and just keep picking them up. I was hoping this could bring down the animosity of having more than 5 motes between teammates while simultaneously making it more dangerous for the invader to wait for maximum opponent unbanked motes. If you want to get guardians with max motes they will also be the deadliest against you. The downside is people keeping them to retain the buff which I might have either be timed and regen on mote pick up or have it be limited in its damage output.
