There are a total of Sixteen Gambit Infamy Ranks in Destiny 2. Players must earn a certain amount of gambit points to ascend to the next Rank. After reaching the next Rank, players can visit The Drifter to receive the Gambit Infamy rank-up rewards.

The Drifter can be found in the Tower Annex, representing the Gambit. In order to obtain items from The Drifter, players must participate in Gambit matches throughout the season and earn higher Gambit Ranks. The Higher a player can reach, the better rewards they will get.

Players will no longer need to manually reset their Gambit Ranks once they reach the max Rank. Instead, their Gambit Ranks will be reset automatically upon collecting the last rank reward from The Drifter. Resetting Gambit Ranks allows players to continue earning rank-up incentives, with a few rewards differing from their initial Season completion.

Gambit pits two competing teams against the minions of Darkness, with the twist that each team can send a player to invade and disrupt their enemy team. Players can earn points toward their Infamy rank by completing matches and bounties obtained from The Drifter.

Players can earn gambit points by finishing gambit matches. Back-to-Back gambit matches grant an activity streak of up to level 5. The greater a player’s active streak, the more points they will receive. However, note that starting a new activity will reset your streak.

As we know, the Gambit is a PvP gamemode, and ranking up is no easy task. You have to play a lot of gambit matches to earn gambit points from the Drifter. Although the gambit match itself is not that hard, you can efficiently complete a well-rounded gambit match within a couple of minutes.

Additionally, players can enhance their Infamy ranking by completing various gambit bounties offered by the Drifter. This includes specific weapon kills, melee kills, motes collected, etc. You can quickly complete these bounties while playing the Gambit.

Additionally, you can wait for the double Infamy Points week to increase your Rank further. With well-coordinated teammates, you can easily reach the Legend tier and reset your Rank several times within the double bonus week.
