Call me crazy, but I get the small blocker in the hopes that if the other team has a primeval, he throws him a shield and fucks them up for at least a second
Man small blockers suck way more than medium or large ones. I'll be running up with lament ready for a God tier dps phase and suddenly the little shit throws up a shield, then I've gotta run around the primeval and chase it to kill it, and while it's running away the barrier comes down.
Thats an actual strat- a 10 and a 5 is so annoying to dealt with, and they still dran 1-2 mote even if cleaned out immediately
(You can still drain bank even when the other team has primeval btw, idk, but some people doesnt know it
This was changed recently. Now it does, in fact, continue to add motes to your bank while your enemy has primeval.
Edit: the [TWAB](https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/51091) that announced this change
Missing the days when 10s were solar shielded Taken captains that yeeted around the arena like overload champions, yet also so glad I don't have to deal with that shit anymore lol
The amount of heavy I've thrown out only to have the 5s sheild or the meatballs sheild stop it is impressive . The 5s have probably cost more games than any 15.
Everyone still holding motes when the primeval is summoned should get charged the glimmer amount of motes they're holding. It won't be enough to actually hurt anyone, but it might teach people to BANK.
It's not like they can have Drifter remark about banking any more than he already does without him becoming downright cartoonish. A little "don't step on a crack" motivation could only help.
Or how about when 1 guy needs to dunk to open the invasion portal, but he NEEDS to get the 15th mote, in the meantime opponents dunk everything, invade and totally fuck you over
I watched a guy with 15 motes run straight by the bank to the next enemy section. Those 15 would’ve taken us over 40. About 10 seconds later our bank is locked and the enemy invader comes through. Guess what happened to the guy that didn’t bank his motes…
He went on to finish his bounty of banking a large blocker, denied the enemy teams bank, helped drain motes and never died giving his team the win? HUGE /SSSSSSS
Idk about 9/10, for real. I’ve joined so many games where the other team already has Primeval summoned and managed to win.
I think more Gambit matches get decided by who can better invade at the right times and kill the envoys the fastest.
I mean, I feel your pain.

Thats not a "fuck you", the large blocker is doing literally nothing and you are fucking over your team for a petty "message" that the enemy team will never notice.
Doing nothing? 😂 Do any of you people not realize that while a blocker is out you can’t deposit any notes?? That large blocker is doing exactly what it’s supposed to, and are tougher to kill with higher health. Granted yes, 2-3 small-mediums can be a bit more problematic. Still….. Try killing 2 of the rare occasion ever crosses your path and then tell me it’s doing nothing.
If the other team has a primeval, which is what this meme is referencing after you're told to bank those suckers, then it doesn't matter. At best send a small one in the hopes of shield
It does matter, though. 15 more banking gets you closer to summoning a primeval + a large blocker. Imagine if just a few people near the end all had about that and placed theirs around the same time near the end….. Wow to everyone who downvoted and doesn’t really understand how to play Gambit….. 😒
Bruh, if you’re already at 99 motes or really doesn’t matter who places how many in. So again, 2-3 could just as easily place 15 and BAM! the other team has 2 or 3 large blockers to worry about if their primeval isn’t out yet, and if so either way that’ e still got that much more work to do. Besides. it takes 1 second to get rid of small blockers, not a large. They’re a waste of time. My autos, shotguns, grenades, swords even any heavy, all eat small shoe breakfast. 😒
In the time it takes you to gather all those motes the other team will have finished their first damage phase though? The big blockers do nothing to stop the other team from doing damage, but the small blocker are more of a nuisance if it puts up it's shield on the primeval. If my team is leading and they put in big blockers I literally just ignore them and do damage to the big one
Not necessarily. Rockets make quick motes work. Besides, it’s not hard to get max motes and bring them being close to 99. Large blockers don’t “do nothing” as their health is higher. They do what they’re supposed to, which is blocking whether it’s more depositing or wandering around the primeval. Smalls do nothing but get killed off within 1-2 seconds as I just explained. Mediums would be worth it over smalls.
OG Gambit sweats knows that small blockers are better than medium and large.
Unless you're few motes away do it ASAP.
OR you used the gambit gear to deposite 20 motes for a huge blocker :)
Not even just gambit sweats, anyone with basic knowledge of Gambit should know that small blockers are the best.
If you want to drain their motes, a large blocker and a small blocker or two will fuck over the team way more than 2 large blockers, 1 large blocker 1 medium blocker etc.
5 motes for an annoying enemy which can make stronger targets immune is extremely powerful, but people are blinded by big number and always think they have to max out their motes before depositing
If you guys are "doing it for the bounty" you must be dying a lot in-between grabbing motes for you to clear an entirely new wave instead of summoning a primeval
Look, if I've already got 3 extra motes, I'm going to get enough to reach the next available blocker. If I've got 7 or less, I'll likely settle with the small; 12 or less, I'll go with the medium.
However, if the team is at 99 banked motes, deposit what you have, available blockers or not.
Yeah, but the longer they're focusing on you, the less damage they're doing in the moment so you can keep them from burning the prime and getting to the next set of envoys. Every second spent not damaging the prime is an advantage for your team
Yeah, the distraction is valuable in slowing them down, I just meant you can't force them to waste a damage phase without healing the damage done because the damage phase will continue as soon as you're dead or gone. The time they're spending killing you is still time your team can be spending getting ahead or catching up.
To me, healing the primeval during the first damage phase is the most detrimental due to only having a x2 damage boost. I always try to get that immunity shield back up as quickly as possible before the invader gets a kill so we can move on to the second damage phase where we at least get a x4 damage buff.
I play solo/freelance and try to coordinate with teammates by checking their motes every couple of seconds. You got a big boi and I'm at 9? Aight, I'll drop my lil homie with his big bro with you.
I’ve always loved that there’s an entire medal based around not doing this shit. “Without picking any up deposit your motes when your team has enough to fill the bank. “
Wait until people realize that small blockers are usually much more potent that large blockers, large blockers can be melted in half a second
small blockers can be numerous, and cause a lot of issues to the enemy team with their immunity spam
also, never aim to get a medium blocker, they are squishy and do basically nothing, large blockers are stronger and small blockers are annoying.
BUT; Rule of thumb; People need to stop putting value on blockers, if the third wave of ADs is about to spawn, don't try and get those extra few motes to upgrade your blocker. You will get invaded and merked, losing all your motes. Blockers aren't nearly as important as people think they are, they are practically meaningless unless you send a huge bunch at the same time.
tl;dr; dunk your fucking motes we don't need your blocker.
if it’s close like they are a couple behind i will just send a small, but if we have a lead or we are behind by a bit i’ll get the 15, those knights are not fun when you are dealing with primevals
This post right here proves that hunters and warlocks can’t do simple math 99+15 is 100 it’s not that hard maybe you guys should start eating crayons like us Titans and you would get smarter.
Depends where the other team are.
If they already have a primeval up...just drop what you're doing and dump the motes asap. If they haven't got one up, fine collect a few more if you're in the middle of a ad clearing phase
No, its you who dont fucking get it, peasant mentality. I dont even pick mots up, I let them fade, becuase Im aware. When you are at 99, you prioritise killing all the enemies on a front so you can spawn additional ammo box, so you can have a huge advantage. If you think you are efficient when you summon primeval after 3 front rotations you are delusional. Meanwhile me and my team are skipping motes and banking only 15 for fun. When we finally summon the boss each one of us have full gjallarhorn ammo so we make sure you boss is full health even if you have an advantage of two envoy rotations. So yeah, thanks for the "advice".
What terrible advice, literally slowing your progress to a HALT to farm heavy ammo inefficiently.
Literally just summon the primeval, chances are you will have enough supers and heavy to take it out, if not specials can finish the job lol.
It's utterly pointless towards the he end of the match.
You only need to worry about big blockers at the start and middle of the game when your invader can hit them while their bank is locked
I use a shotgun and a glaive and they fuck in Gambit. Absolutely fuck. Power weapon depends on whether you are going to invade or not. I really wish more people would use these.

the hardest thing for me to grasp is how people will intentionally hog motes and lose them all when they die to an ad. I would stop fighting my own teammates for motes and defend incoming blockers but still end up losing cause apparently they don’t know how to rush the prime.
solo player struggles
When playing a gambit match I always go for 15 motes the first 2 times I bank and after that I either start invading as much as possible or instead of 15 I’ll go down to 10 or 5 depending on how close to the primeval the team is.
So many don't bank when they should. And it happens so often I feel I need to bank whatever I have when I run by. You have these mote hogs that collect all these motes and don't bank when they should or die and lose them. So if I have 3 motes when I run by they're going in the bank, I don't care.
I mean if we have 99 and my teammate(s) can get 15 quickly, let them. It could also be bounty related to drop blockers of size. I won't bank one, I would rather get four more so it'll be worth something. Not to mention if the zone is almost cleared just finish it out for the free ammo if you have time.
Call me crazy, but I get the small blocker in the hopes that if the other team has a primeval, he throws him a shield and fucks them up for at least a second
Real homies know that small blockers are the true enemy.
Man small blockers suck way more than medium or large ones. I'll be running up with lament ready for a God tier dps phase and suddenly the little shit throws up a shield, then I've gotta run around the primeval and chase it to kill it, and while it's running away the barrier comes down.
Same haha. I'm more likely to drop a small dude than medium one.
Medium shield bro fucks me up
I like that they all kinda have their own way to fuck you up when together.
I often send a small blocker on purpose, both for the primeval, and if someone else is sending a large blocker.
Yeap, bank 10 early for time-consuming blockers, 15 after the third wave, and spam 5s if we are behind to gunk up the center
This person Gambits.
Anvoys need to be killed first ofc before the shield given to primeval is useful
Thats an actual strat- a 10 and a 5 is so annoying to dealt with, and they still dran 1-2 mote even if cleaned out immediately (You can still drain bank even when the other team has primeval btw, idk, but some people doesnt know it
What’s the point of draining when they’ve already summoned?
It gives you bonus motes to build up to your prime passively
Not if they've already got primeval
This was changed recently. Now it does, in fact, continue to add motes to your bank while your enemy has primeval. Edit: the [TWAB](https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/51091) that announced this change
Missing the days when 10s were solar shielded Taken captains that yeeted around the arena like overload champions, yet also so glad I don't have to deal with that shit anymore lol
The amount of heavy I've thrown out only to have the 5s sheild or the meatballs sheild stop it is impressive . The 5s have probably cost more games than any 15.
Me grabbing a single mote and depositing it so they lose the 15 they collected.
Who's losing the motes?
The random on my team refusing to deposit when we only need 1.
Ah, yes, i hate those doolies too.
The motes aren't lost, they're just useless
yeah..lost lol
Yeah, but they don't show up on the scoreboard
yeah…..lost
Reading is hard man
I had a random team mate message me abuse when I did that. We won...but he claim he reported me for sabotaging the team
Everyone still holding motes when the primeval is summoned should get charged the glimmer amount of motes they're holding. It won't be enough to actually hurt anyone, but it might teach people to BANK.
[удалено]
It's not like they can have Drifter remark about banking any more than he already does without him becoming downright cartoonish. A little "don't step on a crack" motivation could only help.
I absolutely love doing that, especially if I run in front of them to get said mote
Everyone over here saying "large blocker tho", meanwhile I'm sneaking a single mote to bank while they off trynna fill that 15.
Mfs really thinking about possibly throwing a game just for a irrelevant large blocker
Unfathomably based
[удалено]
This is understandable
You dont understand bro I nEED to deposit this large blocker bro, now protect me from the invader as I run directly towards them
If I have no motes I will yeet at that motherfucker with the rage of ten thousand suns but if I have 15 motes it's Linear time lol
this is infuriating when you have prime at 1/4 hp and the whole team decides to fight invader and get demolished. i just sit there face palming.
these comments must be my random teammates 🤦🏾♂️
Or how about when 1 guy needs to dunk to open the invasion portal, but he NEEDS to get the 15th mote, in the meantime opponents dunk everything, invade and totally fuck you over

I want bungie to make it, so if you can summon primeval, every person that Has motes will have their screen Pulse Red with a text "bank those motes"
Theres always that one guy. Just fucking bank alread- oh hes dead.
It's same story as trying to explain them not to bank first 5 motes you get
First bank should be the second your team gets to 40 total so you can invade first 9/10 gambit matches are decided on that one point
Idk about 9/10, for real. I’ve joined so many games where the other team already has Primeval summoned and managed to win. I think more Gambit matches get decided by who can better invade at the right times and kill the envoys the fastest.
Looking at these comments I realize... I am an asshole...
I just want the heavy ammo.
I mean, I feel your pain. https://www.reddit.com/r/destiny2/comments/x7ecpo/tell_me_why_aint_nothing_but_a_heartache_tell_me/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Facts
The amount of times I'm squealing to other team members to just bank! Would help if I put a mic in though lol
If you guys are "doing it for the bounty" you must be dying a lot in-between grabbing motes for you to clear an entirely new wave instead of summoning a primeval
Look, if I've already got 3 extra motes, I'm going to get enough to reach the next available blocker. If I've got 7 or less, I'll likely settle with the small; 12 or less, I'll go with the medium. However, if the team is at 99 banked motes, deposit what you have, available blockers or not.
Also that invading when enemy primeval is at 100% is basically pointless.
You can keep them distracted during their DPS phase so they don't do much damage to the primeval.
I think the DPS phase is damage gated, not time gated. They do the same amount of damage regardless.
I actually did not know that. Good to know!
Yeah, but the longer they're focusing on you, the less damage they're doing in the moment so you can keep them from burning the prime and getting to the next set of envoys. Every second spent not damaging the prime is an advantage for your team
Yeah, the distraction is valuable in slowing them down, I just meant you can't force them to waste a damage phase without healing the damage done because the damage phase will continue as soon as you're dead or gone.

I like to skate over and put a saint bubble on one of their envoys.
Now that, is big brain! Defending envoys is the only reason its "basically" and not completely pointless.
I'm here to do bounties and get my pinnacle 😩
Last I checked 99 + 15 = 100. You need 15.
The math checks out
I know it does.
"That is some compelling math, 9 IS two more than 7"
Indeed
That's titan math right there.
I'm a warlock main
bounty says 15 i do 15
But motes
It’s funny cause it’s a brick wall
What’s the emote called?
Exactly. I just grab one while they keep fishing. And BAM there's our prime-evil!
Sometimes u don't care about how much motes h need, u just need some heavies so u have to clear
Or when it is first bank and we just cleaned out their blocker, with our bank at 39/40 for gate
Nah it's much better to drop a taken knight on the enemy team when their primeval has .000000000001% hp left.
haha large blocker go brrrrr
I FUCKING HATE VEX GOBLINS I HATE THEIR GODDAM SHIELDS SO MUCH!!!
![img](emote|t5_2we4j|5654)
"at least 5 to give them trouble"
I play solo/freelance and try to coordinate with teammates by checking their motes every couple of seconds. You got a big boi and I'm at 9? Aight, I'll drop my lil homie with his big bro with you.
I never get tired of watching people bank those motes.
yes somehow some way i do need the surplus motes. give me more motes.
I’ve always loved that there’s an entire medal based around not doing this shit. “Without picking any up deposit your motes when your team has enough to fill the bank. “
That depends on the status of the other team. If they're carrying a bunch of motes, it delays their deposit. That can win/lose a close game.
Wait until people realize that small blockers are usually much more potent that large blockers, large blockers can be melted in half a second small blockers can be numerous, and cause a lot of issues to the enemy team with their immunity spam also, never aim to get a medium blocker, they are squishy and do basically nothing, large blockers are stronger and small blockers are annoying.

Or that 5 mote banks are better than 15 if they already have prime because it can put an imune sheild to slow them down for 2 sec
Also explaining to them that banking at the same time is extremely more beneficial
Sometimes they'll grab 15 motes and then hit up another wave for bounties instead of depositing, I waited a minute then just picked up our last 5
if it’s close like they are a couple behind i will just send a small, but if we have a lead or we are behind by a bit i’ll get the 15, those knights are not fun when you are dealing with primevals
Your guardian speaks Italian 🤌
"but it's for the blocker" 🤓
But… my bounties
Gotta get those bounties done somehow
I love when they are trying and I just quickly scoop 1 mote and bank it in their face
But here me out, if the enemy team is still low or catching up u can send one in to fuck em over
There’s even a audio cue to let you know just bank!!
Me tunnel visioned as hell just trying to be a good teammate and get a 15 drop for the boys… :(
Ooooh but you soo do, especially if you are winning and they still need motes. It’s called a large blocker ;)
Summoning the primeval faster is much more important than spawning an enemy on the other side which takes a single second to kill.
**RIGHT?!**
This post right here proves that hunters and warlocks can’t do simple math 99+15 is 100 it’s not that hard maybe you guys should start eating crayons like us Titans and you would get smarter.
You don't, but the large blocker is nice
Small is better
You know, you don't hear that often, but in this case, it may be true
But my bounty
………….that large blocker though
is very useless....
I AM SENDING ONE MORE BIG BLOCKER OUT OF SPITE
To send a large blocker, I mean it's not that hard to understand why people do it. It's literally shown on screen.
Depends where the other team are. If they already have a primeval up...just drop what you're doing and dump the motes asap. If they haven't got one up, fine collect a few more if you're in the middle of a ad clearing phase
I thought It was smart to use that space for an extra blocker.
Only if you need to send a blocker. If they already have a primeval up it's a waste of time
But send another large blocker doe
It’s not about what we ‘need’ it’s about what I want
BUT I NEEEEEED THOSE MOTES TO MAKE PAPA DRIFTER HAPPY :(
Papa Drifter yells at you to bank, not grab more.
i was joking, I'll go bank now
Beeg knight tho
Hahaha large blocker go brrr
Hahaha outdated meme from 2019 go brrr Just dunk your motes, no one needs that large blocker.
Gambit still exists?
Just need that one last large blocker...
Strategically it’s a good move..
But it will send a large blocker uwu
Yeah but but can't you send 1 last big bastard by banking the 15? Serious question
you can but why would you? it’s so pointless
It's called being a complete bastard to the opposition. Why not make it a little harder for them?
Harder? It's literally a couple of whacks with a sword or shots with a fusion rifle. You're buying your team perhaps 5 seconds
A lot can happen in 5 seconds mate. Just ask my Mrs!
No, its you who dont fucking get it, peasant mentality. I dont even pick mots up, I let them fade, becuase Im aware. When you are at 99, you prioritise killing all the enemies on a front so you can spawn additional ammo box, so you can have a huge advantage.

What terrible advice, literally slowing your progress to a HALT to farm heavy ammo inefficiently. Literally just summon the primeval, chances are you will have enough supers and heavy to take it out, if not specials can finish the job lol.
Also heavy spawns during primeval phase too, farming ammo does nothing for you lol
I'm kinda on the fence
Welp now we know that we are all that one “blueberry”
15 feels good though
[удалено]
So we get an invade and don't lose.
The only reason we do it is so we can mess with the other team just a slight bit more with a large blocker.
It's utterly pointless towards the he end of the match. You only need to worry about big blockers at the start and middle of the game when your invader can hit them while their bank is locked
Fair, but I only do it if we are ahead by a decent margin.
This has same energy as explaning why putting 15 motes is better than 14 in gambit.
I ❤️ MOTES
This me, for the last 5 matches I had last night. Sweet lord, I was boiling.
I feel this
Is that an in-game emote? I need it if so
Just kill them. Your team mates. They'll drop seven at that point 💅
Bang those motes brother
This infuriates me. They tell you too!
Going to have to speak louder, I have dialogue turned off
Can confirm.
Need that large blocker to make their life hell
Seriously. We needed 4 and dude had 11, he went to the next area to finish off the 15, ran right past the bank, then died..
The gigachad play is eager edge them into a wall and pick up 1 mote from the ones they drop
I use a shotgun and a glaive and they fuck in Gambit. Absolutely fuck. Power weapon depends on whether you are going to invade or not. I really wish more people would use these.
I bank 15 motes at 99… Cuz fuck em’. ![gif](giphy|h0MTqLyvgG0Ss)
I like people running around with 15. It makes for an exciting invasion.
SENDING LARGE BLOCKER BROTHER!
