[[Gate]]s are a terrain feature in some [[PvP]] maps that blocks players when closed. Gates are not directly interactable, but can be activated through an associated [[Gate Lock]] or similar mechanism.

Gates play a strategic role when they are included in PvP as they allow players to control access to certain areas, such as the base gates in many [[guild hall|GvG Map]]s, which can only be opened by the owner's team or the opposing team's [[Guild Thief]] until [[Victory or Death|near the end]] of the match, or they present a one-way-door situation such as the center gate on the [[Isle of Weeping Stone]].

'''"[[Gate]]"''' is also used to refer to the barriers which hold the teams in their respective starting areas until the match officially starts; in some GvG maps these are the selfsame gates that attempt to keep the teams out of each other's bases during the match.
