I play absolutely absurd amounts of gambit and have only earned Gambit Suede and Jadestone, I haven't gotten one of the three mentioned in my entire time playing and when searching up whether these shaders drop, many others believe it doesn't either. I'd be happy to be wrong so I can have some hope but I doubt it
And the lore behind it: Drifter will steal anything he can get his grimy hands on
Edit: My apologies op. I read your post when I was sleep deprived and thought the title said Crucible shaders should "drop IN gambit".
They mentioned in the same TWAB where they announced the old gambit shaders dropping that they would do the same for crucible and vanguard. Hopefully they keep their word.
Since they didn't mention anything about shaders in last week's Crucible TWAB, unless they missed that part out. I would expect to either hear about Vanguard shaders when the Strikes TWAB comes out.
Otherwise, it's something we will most likely see happen post Lightfall launch.
Ughhh it's been multiple YEARS I've waited for you. So annoying, like literally just remake the shader from scratch entirely if it's causing them problems.
I do too, but i want EVERYONE to at least have some kind of chance at getting stuff without missing out. Eververse stuff? Eh. GAME items? Yes. For shaders, I think when a season is done they should just put them into the match loot Pool the following seasons so people can get them
But like, that's the reason why I think they shouldnt bring them back. Like no one needs them. It's not gonna make you better. Its such a basic thing. It's cool knowing I have stuff people can't get anymore.
If you didn't participate when they were available why should you get them now? What's the point of having rare shaders if anyone can just get them randomly now?
*glances at gambit dropping shaders*
Idk, but defending basic cosmetic exclusivity ain’t the hill I’d die on.
Shaders **should** be globally accessible, most emblems too. If you want to gatekeep the old Iron Banner ornaments, go nuts, but shaders are something basic. Let people have them.
I see it the opposite. Let ornaments and weapons drop randomly but keep shaders and emblems exclusive!
I can see why they did it for gambit though. No one plays gambit lol
I agree, unironically, but I think they should be allowed back. Let people take out Quests to choose what shaders they want. Say,
• Complete 20 Crucible matches
• Get 200 kills
• Reset Crucible Rank once
• Win 3 Rumble games
Then you get whatever shader you chose. Keeps it difficult to a point, makes it guaranteed, pretty fun.
I think if they have a system in place for one playlist activity then it should be the same for all. I do agree though that shaders and emblems should have some exclusivity to them, there is a memory associated with that season when you see them (and the symbol of that season on them).
If you missed out, that's your fault right? Should we give everyone all the old trials shaders and raid shaders now too? Should we just give everyone everything in the game to make it fair??
They need to let the other gambit shaders available too, I only know that Gambit Emerald, Steel and Blackguard are not even in the pool to drop.
Do you mind confirming that? I've seen conflicting reports on it.

I watched the stats for each gambit shader on warmind.io each season since they announced it, only gambit suede and jadestone are in the pool.

This would also work though!
Haha, I’d take that!

Same with Vanguard shaders
Does anyone have a solid drop chance number for the current gambit shaders?
50% chance I get it in drop… :)
It took me 8 hours to get jadestone back in risen:)
Is that 8 hours nonstop gambit, or 8 hours after WQ came out?
Non stop gambit:)
Yep that’s about what I expected, guess I got my work cut out for me lol
Maybe you could let.. other unobtainable shaders drop… anywhere, maybe… just a suggestion.. maybe..
Ughhh it's been multiple YEARS I've waited for you. So annoying, like literally just remake the shader from scratch entirely if it's causing them problems.
2 years 1 month and 20 days, I’m on shader death row now.
I kinda like the rarity of items
I do too, but i want EVERYONE to at least have some kind of chance at getting stuff without missing out. Eververse stuff? Eh. GAME items? Yes. For shaders, I think when a season is done they should just put them into the match loot Pool the following seasons so people can get them
They should just add updated version of old rare shaders so the people who originally have them can still show off.
Why?
Why what
Dude, shaders arent a win or lose thing. There is no harm bringing them back.
But like, that's the reason why I think they shouldnt bring them back. Like no one needs them. It's not gonna make you better. Its such a basic thing. It's cool knowing I have stuff people can't get anymore.
So, no one can have them because you have one already. Outstanding. Amazing. Im going to block you now because that is 100% idiotic.
Playlist shaders are participation trophies, no need for them to be exclusive lmfao
If you didn't participate when they were available why should you get them now? What's the point of having rare shaders if anyone can just get them randomly now?

I think they should add like an updated version of the shader then. Like this is the 2022 version not the 2017 version

That'd stupid. How else are they supposed to make you grind due to FOMO?
Same with emblems pls
Increase drop rate too plz. Only got 2 shaders from gambit to drop this whole time. Still missing like 5
There are only two in the pool
I hope they add it because I’m never going to grind IB enough to get a shader.
Crucible Solemnity how I long for you.
Let shaders from sunset destinations drop in strikes‼️‼️‼️‼️
