ABOUT DEADLOCK

Deadlock is Valve's 6v6 third-person shooter MOBA set in an alternate urban fantasy version of New York City. Two teams of six heroes battle across three lanes, pushing their troopers toward the enemy Patron, a possessed effigy, while using a mix of gunplay, abilities, and items to dominate.

HOW IT PLAYS

Each match pits two teams of six against each other across a three-lane map. Players earn souls, the in-game currency, by farming troopers and killing enemies, which they use to purchase items from three categories: Weapon, Vitality, and Spirit. Heroes each carry a unique weapon and four abilities, with upgrades unlocked as the match progresses. The goal is to push through lanes, take down Guardians and Walkers, and destroy the enemy Patron.
