On occasion, | [[File:GambitPre2.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Motes Of Darkness]] | ||
Depositing at least five, ten, or fifteen Motes will spawn a [[Taken]] enemy, dubbed a Blocker, on the other team's Bank which they must kill to continue depositing Motes. These Blockers are a [[Ravenous Taken Goblin]] with at least five Motes, a [[Ravenous Taken Phalanx]] with at least ten Motes, and a [[Major]] [[Taken Knight]] with a {{Icon|Stasis}} [[Stasis Boomer]] at fifteen Motes. Allowing two blockers to exist at the same time will institute a drain effect on the bank of the blocked team, taking one mote per second that two or more blockers exist. This introduces a layer of strategy to depositing your teams motes. | |||

On occasion, [[High-Value Target]]s will appear, which are minibosses differentiated by a white sparkling aura that drop a large amount of Motes on damage and death, usually enough for a player to nearly fill their Mote inventory. Should a team be trailing greatly behind the opposing team, catch-up targets will appear for them, which are Elite enemies with the same aura as high-value targets that drop more Motes than regular enemies, but not as much as actual high-value targets. | |||
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. | 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.

As of Season 16, a series of changes have been made to Gambit. Freelance Gambit, requiring all players to be in a 1-Guardian Fireteam, is now an option at all times. Heavy ammo economy has been reworked slightly- high-value targets now drop heavy ammo bricks, and after successfully clearing each wave, a Heavy Ammo Crate spawns in a set location at the Front that has just been cleared. Invaders no longer have the ability to see how many motes opposing players are carrying, and cannot see player nametags when aiming down sights. | |||
Additionally, during the Primeval phase, the Primeval is fully invulnerable to all incoming damage while Primeval Envoys are on the field. Envoys now spawn at Fronts like enemy waves | Additionally, during the Primeval phase, the Primeval is fully invulnerable to all incoming damage while Primeval Envoys are on the field. Envoys now spawn at Fronts like enemy waves and must be killed both to generate the Primeval Slayer buff and to remove the Primeval's invulnerable shield. Periodically, new Envoys will spawn, health-locking the Primeval and forcing players to hunt down the Envoys before Primeval DPS can continue. | ||
