Destiny 2 players pay respects to member of the community by participating in Gambit matches

Destiny 2 has one of the most helpful communities in gaming. Earlier this year, when Lance Reddick passed away, players gathered to pay their respects to Commander Zavala. As spotted on Twitter, players are coming together to mourn another Destiny 2 player who died a few days ago. Several creators have taken to Twitter to share this person’s story.

Players rallied at the posts and offered their condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased player, Derek Hartz.

The Destiny 2 Twitter community pays respect by playing Gambit matches

Derek Hartz, according to a community member who claimed to be their friend, lost his life in an “act of violence.” A post mentioning this first appeared on Reddit and was subsequently shared on Twitter. As mentioned in the original poster associated with Complex-Piccolo3026, Derek loved playing Gambit and was one of the main characters in Titan.

In his Reddit request, the individual asked if all of the Titans in Destiny 2 could play at least one gambit match with the Thundercrash supervillain in his memory. And the community did not disappoint. Many gathered on the same Reddit thread to pay their respects to Derek.

Several individuals who did not have a Titan build mentioned that they would use Supers from their respective classes to melt enemies into Gambit. Others stated that they would leave the Titans alone when they invaded through the portal.

Several notable Destiny 2 creators also took to Thundercrashing in Gambit to pay their respects to Derek.

What’s exciting is that Gambit is a mode that many gamers generally shy away from, primarily because it’s been kept aloof from developers for so long.

Yes, some issues have been addressed recently. However, the lack of new maps and the presence of some bugs turned players away from this mode in Destiny 2. Despite this, players played it with Guardian who loved the game mode.

With Bungie giving this title a major overhaul in the Lightfall expansion, it’ll be interesting to see if Gambit gets some love in the next few months. However, given that the developers of this game are preparing for the final expansion of their current saga, major changes to this mode may take effect sometime in 2024. This is, for now, just speculation.
