How It Works

Hellgates are PvPvE dungeons accessed through Hellgate portals that appear in the open world. Two teams enter the same dungeon and must fight through demonic mobs while competing against the opposing team.

Clear PvE objectives to unlock the boss room, then defeat the final boss for loot. The area gradually shrinks after the restriction delay, forcing teams into combat. Killing opposing players grants additional PvP loot chests.

Non-lethal Hellgates use a knockdown system — defeated players lose some items but not their full inventory. Lethal Hellgates are full-loot PvP where death means losing everything.
