Destiny 2: Gambit Labs Playlist Experimenting with Invasion Swap
To say the history between the Destiny 2 community and the game's competitive co-operative mode, Gambit, is a complex one would be an understatement. The mode is a regular source of criticism due to a combination of balancing issues and, for some players, feeling stale given the lack of major gameplay changes since Season of the Drifter.

The mode was the centerpiece of the aforementioned Season of the Drifter, which introduced Gambit Prime as a faster, single-round option before it ultimately replaced the original three-round Gambit. The mode has undergone some smaller changes since then to blockers, boss rounds, and heavy ammo spawns, but it has not had a substantial change.

The studio says it hopes to see players test out some new strategies as they have to be more mindful of their mote count and available invasions.
