Unlocking
Complete your first Gambit Prime match, then launch it from the Gambit menu. Guides describe using a Synth (earned from Gambit Prime bounties) to create motes and enter.
Tiers
Three tiers with rising Power requirements (650, 670 and 690 per Destinypedia). Tier I: defeat Taken in rapid succession (slower kills reward less), then a boss. Tier II adds bridge-building encounters and two boss variants. Tier III raises enemy health and damage and requires 20 seconds to capture bridges, with achievements for deathless runs and no-super bridges. Bosses include the Two of Swords and the Likeness of Oryx; Hive enemies also appear. The boss alternates by week.
Rewards
Legendary weapons (Lonesome, Spare Rations, Gnawing Hunger) and four armor sets (Collector, Invader, Reaper, Sentry), whose pieces give permanent bonus points to the matching Gambit Prime role. Community guides (forum and search results, not independently confirmed) say weapons drop only in Tier II and III: Lonesome in the Swords week, Spare Rations (Tier II/III) and Gnawing Hunger (Tier III) in the Oryx week; Gnawing Hunger, Doomsday and Just In Case were Reckoning-exclusive. Drop chance reportedly rose after each run with no weapon.
Retirement
Vaulted with Beyond Light on 10 November 2020, together with its gear.
