Question:

Since the Leviathan raid has a recommended LL of 380, could the raid be done with only 3 people at LL 500+ or would we run into problems?
Once you hit the LL recommendation getting excessively higher than it doesn't really make much difference. I believe you'll need at least 5 people, as I think that's the least amount that can do royal baths since it requires people standing at all plates simultaneously.

Damn that's a bummer. Further reinforces my belief Bungie did the wrong thing by emphasizing on gimmicks in the raids instead of making special encounters.

So, ERA ... what's the chance of the Malfeasance coming this reset?
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that this is the 3rd week and the city undergoes alot of changes? Or am I missing something?

Hell, Petra Venj stated that the Well was ALMOST done charging. Can we visit the Queen this reset?

I hope so. Will have the Chaperone today so another exotic quest would be nice.

What the hell is this exotic sparrow from the Arms Dealer strike? I got all pumped thinking I got a new exotic from the nightfall and instead it's the most bland "special" sparrow in the game? Just a base design with bombs strapped to it? Wow. Thanks, Bungie.

You know what will make me excited for this new competitive game mode.

If it replaced countdown, the biggest roadblock in the game.

Or they could just make countdown first to 3 rounds won is the winner. Getting 6 or 7 wins is ridiculous long and obnoxious.

In Gambit, do you get the "Primeval Slayer" buff from killing the adds?

Or is it just something that naturally stacks up over time?

Killing Envoys aka those taken wizards if I'm correct. I maybe wrong.
Specifically killing the taken wizards. Two spawn. iirc they are named primeval envoys. Kill them as fast as possible.
Once both wizards are down does it just naturally stack over time, or do more wizards have to spawn? It seems like, at some point, the buff just builds up even when there aren't adds spawning.

I hope people will be farming EP this week. It's shotgun week, right? Only thing I really feel like I missed out on before Forsaken.

The good Gambit teams take out all the Adds/Invaders first, and then you see the Primeval get MELTED in like 15 seconds cuz they coordinate their supers/heavy ammo right at the end

Yes, you'll also hear Drifter say "Your Primevil is compromised!" along with the stacks.

I don't like that for my crucible and vanguard milestones I need a full set of that gear.

Loving everything else though. Gambit is great
Keep in mind those "milestones" are a one time thing, so the expectation is more that you'll be able to do them sometime over a month or two as you earn the set, rather than immediately do them all day or week 1.

Haven't collected the full crucible set yet myself.

Man, there's something satisfying about banking for the Primeval, then going to invade the other team and getting a triple kill before coming back to your side.

I basically save my heavy ammo for that last invasion prior to taking out the Primeval.

Yeah I picked those up and thought, "welp that's never gonna happen" lol.

Not with all the dailies / weeklies I have to do now.

Do people still do Leviathan / EOW / The Warmind Raid Lair (Don't remember the name)?

I've only got experience with Leviathan / EOW but I'd love to try and get midnight coup. I think that's the only weapon I didn't get, sadly.

I wish I could have seen their reaction to what I did during a game of Gambit a few nights ago. We'd summoned our Primeval and almost had him killed. They had an invader come over...

It's on the new Gambit map and I'm sat on the balcony near the Primeval, taking shots with Sleeper. All of a sudden, a shot has ricocheted across the map and I've killed the invader. He must have been so salty, lol. I absolutely didn't aim for that to happen, and tbh I had no idea he was even there. But I sent him back without a kill, and we won a few moments later. Sorry for that, random person.

My fave part about Gambit was just over the weekend where we had our Primeval out along with enemy team and I invade and kill the entire team and cause it to get healed when it was down to a sliver of health and helped my team catch up and win. Saved the match cuz it was so clutch.

We need an emote for idiots running around with 15 motes when we can summon the Primeval.

So frustrating since the Drifter LITERALLY is telling you what to do.

That being said, up to 533 now on my primary character. Once I hit 540 this week, I'll get started on finishing the campaign for my secondary/tertiary characters. Hopefully the RNG gods will bless me with a god roll Better devils or Duke.

Gambit is fucking amazing....I just have yet to actually win a match. Also because my power level is still so low by comparison to others.

Gambit is the just about the best thing to ever happen to Destiny IMO. That said i want to quit every fucking time i hear "SCORN" in that mode. Is it just me or are they completely broken. The hitboxes seem messed up... they move way to erratic and vanish in smoke when you're about to kill them... their shields last FOREVER. They dont seem on-par with every other enemy faction. Is it just me?

Scorn and Vex are the worst especially in 3rd round as yellow bars. They do so much damage and the snipers are cheap.

My god its like my favorite mode ever

Don't even care about losing or being with Junk randoms. Being able to play freely and go crazy, slay out, and just be an all around murder machine is just a pure joy

The moment to moment gameplay is so consistently enjoyable that I could care less about winning but naturally im always going for the win cuz its just inherent in the gameplay

Absolutely adore gambit

Yup. When I see Vex / Scorn on the field I'm just like :/

But Gambit is pretty dang fun.

Do people mix up their loadouts for it? I feel like I might go for a PvE / PVP / Gambit loadout like I did for Y1 of D2, but in theory my PvE loadout should be able to carry me through Gambit I guess.

If only switching weapons kept your ammo counts, I could pop on the PvP set real quick while jumping through the invasion portal.

Also 25% done with the Gambit part of Ace of Spades yeee

Gambit is amazing. the only thing i dislike is how the invaders have extra health. i get that its 1v4 but the guy can see everyone on his screen and he has dozens of enemy NPCs helping him out. that and the sleeper sniping everyone is just ridiculous. we had a guy on our team yesterday that was so good at killing that when we killed our primeevil, the other team had zero motes deposited. i dont even know how thats possible.

i dont mind playing with randoms, they are awful at killing adds but thats what i am there for. i would like to level up and be able to one shot headshot people with my ace of spades. im level 520 right now and adds take way too many hits to kill. even raids werent this bad.

Exactly! I always have a great time. I just hope they keep updating and adding to it with new modes, special rounds, bosses etc. I'll play this shit for a LONG time.


Also - an unpopular opinion but i pray every day for them to cut Gambit down to a single longer round. Put me in a new match with new people and new enemies after that. 3 rounds fucking SUUUUUCKS!

"Vex on the field!"

*yellow bar teleporting purple death ball robots, snipers who heal up when you shoot them, giant turrets of death, exploding robots, teammates who invade and lose 10+ nodes, teammates who refuse to kill the Wizards, teammates who lose nodes to fuckin' adds constantly, teammates who dont hunt or hide from the invader but just run around like idiots, teammates who refuses to shoot the blockers and run off towards more enemies*

Love me some Cabal HUGE old crit spots.

I sweat some of the annoyance with enemies comes from bad connections between players or something. I've had matches were enemies were fucking elusive bastards and i couldnt hit any headshots etc. I miss being able to see everyone's ping... even if i can't do anything about it i can report them and have a reasonable explanation to why this match was shit.

The Malfeasance quest is most likely tied to Gambit so expect more with the mode.

It might not. Callum's Grave is "tied" to the Malfeasence as much as Gambit. Actually, The Drifter himself is tied to this handcannon, not the gamemode (iirc).

If The Corrupted Strike is a nightfall this reset... there's a good chance that you can walk a different path to reach the grave and "unlock" it.

The lore in Forsaken (specifically in the Trumphs) dont really go over Leviathan or pre-Forsaken much from what I can tell

Most of the community was pretty much "who was this guy? what is this?" since Destiny 2 really did not go over it at all since Lore was an afterthought

It's going to be a multiple step quest, so it's likely going to require both the Grave and Gambit.

There is a step that involves killing a Malfeasance boss in Gambit tho and the text for the final step is like "you played a lot of Gambit" or something. So it's definitely involved. The part where you picked up the quest is def tied to the strike probably.
