History of Gambit, in Its Prime

Overview

Gambit, in Its Prime is a six-step Legendary quest from The Drifter in Season of the Drifter (Season 6). This is a historical guide to the Gambit Prime and The Reckoning era. The Destiny 2 Wiki indexes it as Season 6, and the Ishtar Collective quest transcript identifies Season of the Drifter; the Ishtar item record separately labels it as added with Shadowkeep on November 13, 2019, so archive metadata conflicts on the date. Bungie records the Season of the Drifter narrative as vaulted with Year 4 on November 10, 2020, and says Gambit Prime was merged into Gambit at that time; this page does not claim the old quest or its activities are currently available.
