Can you go through the portal without the car?

[Eve]

I just completed the missions where you shut off the watch towers and im out of gas, can I just walk through the portal?

I don't think so, I'm pretty sure you need the car due to it having the ARC devise. That and it wouldn't make sense with the gameplay loop.

Just abort the run turning off item loss if you want then learn from the failed run.

Nah i'll just take the L. I just wish I knew the gateway would open once I shut off the tower and I would have started to look for gas.

They do tell you that :P You can even use it to make gateways if you come back there later

Ah, they got me there too. I was way away from my vehicle at the time. By the time I got to the teleporter I was surviving purely on healing. I think I lost the whole front paneling of my car with the rest barely hanging on by a thread.

Losing and "dying" is actually a key part of game progression.
As soon as you're able to, return to that junction and look for where you "died". You might find something interesting.
(Remember to scan it.)

I did eventually get back to this mission and complete it. I always carry a large tank of gas now so this NEVER happens again.

I also learned the game saves between areas so if I REALLY wanted to I could have save scummed and hit alt F4 and started before I ran out of gas.
