A Gate is a player-built structure designed to provide friendly troops access through a walled off section, only they can open and close the gate with E. It can be upgraded for more health and better resistance. It automatically closes after 10 seconds.

In-game description

At Tier 1 the gate is see-through. Bullets and other hitscan projectiles (30mm, 40mm, etc...) can pass thorugh it, only the fence posts at both ends can block them. Unlike Tier 1 Walls it can't be run over by vehicles.

Construction

Gates must be built on ground that isn't too steep. They can be built on Roads, but not on beaches, bridges, or rocks.

While placing it, the Gate automatically attaches itself to existing Gates and Walls. Hold Shift to deactivate this.

Tips

  • Gates can be opened from the driver's seat of all land vehicles or on foot by pressing E.
  • You cannot toggle gates that belong to the enemy.
  • Keep in mind that gates do not shoot at the enemy and so have limited defensive value on their own. In most cases, your gate should have active defenses, like Rifle Pillboxes, in front of it.
  • Gates and Walls of the same tier have the same health.

Trivia

  • Prior to Update 1.52, Gates would stay open/closed until the faction who constructed it interacted with it again. Due to this, this required additional awareness, as opened gates could let enemy players/vehicles through to an area.
    • This was later changed so that it would close automatically, in a larger anti-griefing response, where increased alt behavior led to the destruction of numerous equipment from both factions.
