New Gambit mode is interesting. Just one round, but a long-drawn-out boss fight.
Apparently the rewards from this mode unlocks something called ‘Reckoning’ that I have no idea what is, but the impression I get is that it is a tiered thing you need “Gambit Prime” resources to play in.
"The Reckoning is a tiered-event where you’re going to collect high-end gear and weapons to upgrade your Guardian. Many of these items are going to assist you in the Gambit Prime game mode, but they’re also exceedingly powerful in their own right. "
Also seems like the Exotic drop rate has increased, or I just had a “lucky” two day streak with 3 exotics, … althought 2 of them were duplicates from Year 1 I already owned, the last one was the final Hunter exotic I needed — just a shame they nerfed the hell out of it a few weeks ago.
Bad thing in this patch was that they removed all iron Banner bounties in my journal – which were all ready to handin, so probably lost 100+ IB Tokens and 7 Primal Engram rewards.
More on Reckoning:
*When you matchmake into a Reckoning game, you’re going to fly in and land on The Drifter’s ship called The Derelict. Proceed forward, and you’ll get taken to the large chunk of ice attached to it called The Haul. From there, you have to figure out how to start the match, and you have 38 seconds. You’ll want to get use to the timers because each phase of the quest has a timer attached to it, and if you can’t complete the task before the timer runs out, you’re out. *
Before you proceed through the mission, go towards the mote bank placed on the left side of this open area. Open up your inventory and interact with your Weak Synthesizer by using one of the Synths you’ve acquired – you’ll want to choose the one associated with the type of armor you want. You should receive a particular mote for your troubles, and then you’re going to deposit this mote into the bank.
Makes it sound like it will be frustrating at start due to people not knowing what to do, and the short time limits. Already notice this in gambit prime.
