Should a team be trailing greatly behind the opposing team, catch-up targets will appear for them, which are Elite enemies with the same aura as high-value targets that drop more Motes than regular enemies, but not as much as actual high-value targets. | On occasion, high-value targets will appear, which are minibosses differentiated by a white sparkling aura that drop a large amount of Motes on damage and death, usually enough for a player to nearly fill their Mote inventory.

During [[Season of the Hunt]], Gambit and Gambit Prime were merged into one mode. Matches are now one round, with 100 motes needed to summon Primevals. Blockers are able to drain the opposing team's bank, and banking ten motes summons an Elite [[Taken Phalanx]] instead of a Captain. [[Kell's Grave]] and [[Cathedral of Scars]] were also removed, leaving only 4 maps left. | During [[Season of the Hunt]], Gambit and Gambit Prime were merged into one mode.
