Yes, the Exotic sword. It can shoot out projectiles with its power attack that are one-shot kills and are highly accurate and can strike at very long distances. If I meet the invader right after they spawn I win the fight probably 99% of the time because I can destroy them at a distance or overwhelm them up close. Black Talon is also surprisingly good while invading too.
I combine Black Talon with a glaive and a pulse rifle and I'm good to go in Gambit.
If you're going to play Gambit I suggest giving this load-out a try. It covers the bases for all the enemies you're going to encounter.

I used black talon waaay back when the envoys had void shields & have returned to using it this season. Fun to use but, imo, not as reliable as it used to be.
-
Since Glaives don’t rely so much on ammo, you might benefit from running double special weapons. Maybe a shotgun with Trench barrel for things like blockers and beefy enemies? I usually run Succession, and The Lament. Lament is filthy in gambit.

People play Gambit?

Meanwhile your team is 3 manning the boss
-
Killed two back to back invaders out of the supers with Black Talon. People underestimate it and I had a blast
-
I just use a good scout and force them to spawn in a shitty location. But Im just there for the pinnacle, so dont take my advice.
-
Favorite heavy. Then it's leviathans breath as both invader and counter
-
I have an Archon's Thunder I use. They don't really expect it.
-
I just wish they’d update black talon considering it’s been a weird weapon ever since the sword rework.
-
Glaive and Izinagi plus a lmg
-
Mine too. People get confused by it and it can hit people from range.
