The only possible escape lies behind huge ornate metal gates. They taunt me every time I lay my eyes on them keeping me in, as a caged animal. But as I discovered, they can be opened. Somehow these Generators are the key to getting them open. As I managed to repair enough of them, the gates opened, and I ran with all my soul towards the campfire in the distance. Sometimes I escape and sometimes I stare The Entity in the eye and wake up at the never ending fire. Why aren't the Killers following me through the gates? I might never know. |

It seemed to me that repairing those Generators was the only way to power this Switch Box. What would happen if I were to activate it?. |

Notice the objective information at the lower left of the screen. With the final Generator complete, the switch is powered and the Exit Gate can be opened. In most Trials, there will be a total of 5 Generators to complete. Stop the Survivors before they can escape! |

Exit Gates are one of two potential ways for Survivors 
to escape the Trial grounds in Dead by Daylight 
.
Contents
Overview
Although Exit Gates are visible from the beginning of the trial, they will remain in a deactivated state until enough Generators 
have been repaired by Survivors.
The remaining number will be displayed to both the Survivors and the Killer in the bottom left of their screen.
The amount of Generators Survivors need to fix in order to activate the Exit Gates is the number of Survivors loaded into the trial plus one.
Powering
Once enough Generators have been repaired, both the Survivors and the Killer will receive an auditory and visual cue, displaying the location of the Exit Gates (temporarily for Survivors, permanently for Killers).
Survivors may also use Wake Up! 
to see the location effectively permanently as well.
Survivors using a Map (Item) 
with the Yellow Wire 
Add-on or just a Rainbow Map 
can track the Exit Gates and display their locations at will.
Opening
Exit Gates take Survivors 20 seconds to open, with each of the three red lights above the Switch Box lighting up at another quarter of the progress bar (i.e. after 5, 10, and 15 seconds).
If a Survivor interrupts the opening process, the current progress will be saved.
Killers take 0.75 seconds to open an Exit Gate and can only do so if the Endgame Collapse 
has not yet commenced.
Once at least one of the two Exit Gates has been opened, the Endgame Collapse will commence.
Survivors then have anywhere from 120 to 240 seconds (the timer slows anytime a Survivor is in the Dying State 
or on a Hook 
) to escape the Trial Grounds before being killed by The Entity 
.
If the Killer walks near the escape boundary, The Entity will spawn the same spikes that usually block vaults for Survivors, stopping the Killer from leaving the Trial Grounds at will.
Those Gate Blockers may also appear for Survivors under the following circumstances:
- Activated Blood Warden
- Black Box Add-on (Dream Demon )
- Latched-on Victor (Blood Bond )
- Binded-on Chain (Summons of Pain )
Iterations
Several of the newer or reworked older Maps feature a unique iteration of the Exit Gates.
