At 40 and 80 Motes deposited, a portal will open up which allows one player to invade the other team's area to hinder their progress by denying Motes.<ref name = "Gambit"/> The Invader will have an overshield, be friendly to the opponents' enemies, and be able to see the locations of every opposing player, at the cost of being announced and glowing red for easy visibility to the opposing team. Popular invasion and counter-invasion tactics include the use of [[Super]]s, long-range weapons such as [[sniper rifle]]s, and heavy weapons such as [[machine gun]]s like [[Xenophage]]. Invaders will return to their team once a timer runs out, they eliminate the entire enemy team, or they are killed. Killing an Invader drops 3 motes, or all the motes they were carrying. An Invader can collect the motes of players they kill, and bring them back to their own arena.

When the bank is full (100 motes), the second phase of Gambit will begin. The [[Primeval]], giant [[Ultra]] Taken, will be summoned in their arena, alongside a plethora of Taken minions, while two [[Primeval Envoy]]s will spawn at one of the Fronts. <ref name = "Gambit">[https://www.destinythegame.com/au/en/gambit '''Destiny the Game''' - ''Gambit'']</ref> The opposing team's invasion portal will begin to activate periodically.<ref name = "Ingame">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref> At this point, the goal of the game is to kill the Primeval before the other team is able to kill their own. Killing the Primeval envoys as soon as possible will remove the invulnerability shield from the Primeval, enabling damage. Invasions now serve the purpose of healing the opposing team's Primeval upon killing a Guardian, to set back their progress towards winning the round. If neither Primeval is killed when the match timer expires, the team whose Primeval has less health wins the match.

Prior to the ''[[Beyond Light]]'' expansion, Gambit consisted of multiple rounds, with 75 motes being required to summon a primeval. The second round of a Gambit match plays identically to the first, with increased enemy difficulty featuring more Elite enemies. If the winning team wins this round, the match ends. Should both teams win only one round, the Sudden Death round is activated, which skips right to the Primeval phase of the match, and all abilities, including Supers, charge significantly quicker.<ref name="Ingame"/> At this point in time, the [[Blocker]]s were different.

A more intense mode of Gambit was known as [[Gambit Prime]], which was a single round match requiring 100 motes banked with increased enemy difficulty and new ways to assist the team.<ref name = "JokersWild">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref>

With the release of ''[[Season of the Hunt]]'', Gambit and Gambit Prime were merged into one mode. Matches were made one round, with 100 motes needed to summon Primevals. Blockers are able to drain the opposing team's bank, and banking ten motes summons an Elite [[Taken Phalanx]] instead of a Captain. [[Kell's Grave]] and [[Cathedral of Scars]] were also removed, leaving only 4 maps left.
