Sector Gate

Sector Gates are barriers placed to block areas off. They appear in the de Blob series but have different mechanics in both console games. The tables at the bottom show which levels have gates and those that do not.

Sector Gates in de Blob

In de Blob, sector gates require a certain amount of colour energy in order for the switch to be unlocked for further progress into the level. With the exception of the first gate, the amount of energy required for the next sector will be shown when the player opens the previous gate. The number of gates can vary, depending on the length of the level. In addition, gates can be placed as a defence for a important structure - like a Major Landmark for example.

Sector Gates in de Blob 2

Unlike in the previous game, gates in de Blob 2 do not have a colour energy requirement to unlock. They will open when a transformation engine is used - either in a building nearby, or in front of the gate. Since the game has levels in both urban and rural areas of Prisma City, sector gates are mainly seen in urban areas (with the exception of Paradise Island). Some levels, despite being urban, don't have gates - instead they have barriers (e.g. Comrade Black U. /State College).
