Source line
NITRO GATE: Deploy a speed gate that sends users into a boosted slide.
- Stepping into a Nitro Gate forces users into a speedy slide, where they have greatly increased velocity and lateral control.
- This effect lasts for up to five seconds as long as speed isn't naturally slowed.
- Manually stopping the slide will end the effect (although it can be maintained through quick b-hops).
- The gate is team agnostic, meaning it has the same effect on friendlies and enemies, though Axle will be the only one with increased slide control.
