The Gateway is a thrown gadget available to the Light build which, upon impact, creates one of two gateways that enable instant travel between them for all contestants.
Effects
Deploying the first Gateway creates an inactive portal. The second Gateway will link the two, activating both portals. This allows any contestant, including those on enemy teams, to travel between the two portals. By moving close to one of the portals and pressing the "Interact" keybind, they will be teleported to the other portal, with an entry cooldown of 3 seconds.
Entities that can be teleported include: contestants (requires interaction), arena carriables, cash boxes, grenades, cannonballs.
Entities that cannot be teleported include: vaults, cashout stations, bullets, structure debris, sticky gadgets.
Entities that travel through the Gateway will retain their velocity.
Usage
The Gateway is a long-distance throwable gadget supported by an aiming mechanic. Using the gadget arms it, preparing it to be thrown. A blue line indicates the trajectory of the projectile up until the first impact.
When the button is released, the Gateway is either thrown overhand (long distance, high velocity) or underhand (short distance, low velocity).
The throw can be cancelled by swapping to a different equipment slot.
If a contestant wants to enter a gateway, they need to move close and interact with it.
