Versatile Primary Weapon

The Ferro battle rifle is the ideal primary for Blue Gate. Its balance of damage, accuracy, and handling matches the map's mix of engagement ranges. The Equalizer is another excellent choice for players who want slightly more range.

Flexible Secondary

A sidearm or compact SMG covers the close range situations that pop up in Blue Gate's building interiors. The Hairpin pistol handles these moments without adding much weight to your loadout.

Medium Shield Recommended

Blue Gate's varied terrain means you need both protection and mobility. A Medium Shield handles every situation on this map adequately. You will encounter open areas that demand sprinting and buildings that demand sustained firefights.

Loot Distribution

Blue Gate spreads loot fairly evenly across the map rather than concentrating it in one area. This means you can have productive runs without fighting over the same hotspots. Explore the less traveled routes for uncontested loot that most players overlook.

Enemy Variety

Blue Gate puts a range of ARC between you and its loot, so bring more than one ammo type and check the weak point of each machine in the ARC enemy guide before you drop.
