Exit gate Quotes left 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.

~ Exit Gates, Killer Tutorial

Exit Gates are one of two potential ways for SurvivorsIconHelpLoading survivor to escape the Trial Grounds in Dead by DaylightIconHelp DBDlogo.


Overview

All Maps, spawn with 2 Exit Gates, which are located randomly in the outer border wall surrounding the perimeter of the Map.
This also applies to the equivalent on indoor Maps.
From the start of the Trial, both Exit Gates remain closed and unpowered until certain activation conditions are met.


Powering-Up

Starting the Trial, both Exit Gates are closed and unpowered.
Survivors must repair a certain number of GeneratorsIconHelpLoading generators (equal to Survivors starting the Trial + 1) to power the Exit Gate Switches, after which the Exit Gates can be opened independently.

Powering-up the Exit Gates plays a map-wide audio cue and reveals the AurasIconHelp auras of both Exit Gate Switches to all Players.
The Killer sees the Aura permanently from that point onwards, whereas Survivors only see it temporarily, having to rely on their memory of where the Exit Gates are located afterwards.

In the case of both Exit Gates still remaining closed and there only being one last Survivor left, the act of closing the open HatchIconHelp hatch as the Killer will automatically power both Exit Gates (as well as initiate the Endgame CollapseIconHelp endGame), bypassing any remaining Generators that would have needed to be repaired.


Opening

Once powered, Survivors can walk up to either Exit Gate and interact with the Exit Gate Switch to open them independently.
It takes Survivors 20 seconds to open an Exit Gate.

The Exit Gate Switch features three red lights atop it, which will light up in sequence when the Opening process reaches 25, 50, and 75 % completion.
This notifies both other Survivors as well as the Killer about an Exit Gate's approximate Opening progression from a distance.
Reaching the final quarter will also play a buzzer noise.

The Opening process can be interrupted at any time, with any partial progression being saved.

If the Endgame CollapseIconHelp endGame has not started, the Killer has the option to open up one Exit Gate in a brief interaction (0.75 seconds), forcing the beginning of the Endgame CollapseIconHelp endGame and remaining Survivors out of the Trial Grounds.


Endgame Collapse

Opening at least one Exit Gate immediately initiates the Endgame CollapseIconHelp endGame, which will end the Trial forcefully after its timer elapses, killing any remaining Survivors.


Exit Gate Blocker

While Survivors are generally free to leave the Trial Grounds through the Exit Gates, The EntityIconHelp entity does not grant that privilege to its Killers.
The Entity spawns Exit Gate Blockers (long spikes shooting up from the ground) whenever the Killer walks close to the escape boundary, visually and physically preventing them from leaving the Trial Grounds.
The Exit Gate Blockers are only visible to the Killer and do not affect Survivors.

However, the Killer has the option to conjure those same Exit Gate Blockers for Survivors, given certain circumstances:


Iterations

With the The Realm Beyond visual updates, all reworked Realms feature a unique iteration of the Exit Gate, themed after the Realm itself.
This has already been true for Realms released since CHAPTER 15: Chains of Hate, which introduced the Grave of Glenvale Realm, which features a steam-punk-themed Exit Gate.
