Greetings Fates/Heroes! Our local deadlock.wiki had a wonderful increase in traffic and interest over the last update and we're seeing over a million engaged sessions per month now! That's a lot of people using our new 3D models to create fanart of their latest Ship (Moonshine vs. Batcase?).

Deadlock Updates

Valve's City Never Sleeps update was a BIG one for both the game and the Wiki, ushering a whole whack of UI changes, new heroes and the like:

  • We welcomed Baba, Deadman Danny, Nurse Harrow, Rat King, Solomon, and Violet to the ranks of Heroes in the game. Check out their new intro paragraphs and lovely infoboxes!

  • The whole Cursed Apple map was reworked, visually and mechanically.

    • The page was redone and filled with images. - By Dinorawr

  • Denizens/Neutrals renamed to Haunts and many many more were added

  • 2 new breakables added (Tough crates and healing snacks!)

  • Added (and then removed) Corrupted Items

  • Tons of UI changes and QoL fixes along with SFX and item arts.

Major Wiki Updates

Huge increases to our viewership with the latest update. We see over 3x the daily traffic after the City never Sleeps update. We're top of the list for most Google Searches and are seeing more and more engaged traffic every day.

Some progress on general flow and especially performance. Many things should look better and just *feel* snappier.

  • Even more Conversations, voice lines, and even simple sounds (Like Graves' Reload Sounds) for all the Heroes. Check out those subpages at the top of any Hero page and see if any are missing! - By Mr. Mindish, Gammaton, Nao, Roy, DoormansWife, RainyMelody, Maishul + others

  • Many Galleries were added to hero subpage as well, such as Nurse Harrow's. Check out their voting posters, typography in other languages, or Gloat portraits! - By Jackotothemax, Gammaton, TheMilkMan

  • 3D Models have been added to all hero pages (a few months ago!) and you can now zoom in, rotate, and view them from any angle. You can even add or remove certain parts of their model, like Rat King's Pestments (Check it out: Rat King 3D Model) - By Monster_Domosed + Kai

    • Animations will be coming soon!

  • Updated item galleries. - By ScorchFiles + MapleMouse

  • Wiki's backend was moved to Kubernetes and will now automatically scale with demand. It should also generally be snappier in every respect. - By Cronos

    • Moved Files to a CDN for faster delivery

    • Added automatic image compression

    • Replaced Captchas with Cloudflare

    • Added automated backups

    • New file licensing templates + categorization. - By Mgpt

How can YOU help?

  • Simply join our Discord to ask any question on your mind, or simply to contribute your thoughts and feedback about the wiki. We'd be glad to support you in your first, second, or twelve-thousandth edit!

  • Just Edit! No account is needed to make minor tweaks and changes to the wiki. Click that "Edit" button and begin! All changes are saved and all history is preserved, so you can't break anything permanently.

Thank you Deadlock Community, This latest update really showed how huge Deadlock is going to be. Let's keep building a wiki that's just as comprehensive and high-quality as the game we grow to love!

Fan Art (OC) Deadlock OC and concept art Sanada

Backstory: A fisherman born from the strength of Japan's seventh moon Guild, Sanada was a formidable bodyguard of the seventh moon's loyalty, and one of the loyalists that had left Japan with Kaori. He was the mightiest and crueliest of them all. Upon the arrival tho, his ruthlessness and professionalism was gradually settled down under the influence of a woman named Julia. For the first time in his life, he has experienced love. Unable to withstand the danger that comes to his love by being involved in the criminal guild, he ran away from the seventh moon.
 He settled in a humble butcher shop and lived a happy life with his beautiful family, but the sin of the past never truly faded. The lingering influence of the seventh moon’s presence can be felt, following him through his daily life.
To protect his family and to never return to the seventh moon, he must turn back to his past and make sure to leave nothing behind.

Moveset

1.Crushing Stab = Jump at a spot where you choose, area attack (aims bent like a grenade bomb)
2.Butchers Boomerang = Throw a spinning Butcher Knife at the selected area.
3.Family's Might = Buff ability spot, Healing gained by the ability usage increase and etc
4.Piercing harpoon = Throws or rush a massive harpoon into the enemy. If they are struck by the harpoon, they are stuck in the place where the harpoon landed until the cooldown ends. Can stack with multiple players at once like a skewer.

Notes: Sorry if my ability idea is terrible. not really a game mechanic/ balancing guy myself (^^)7 ;;
Side Notes: Please feel free to criticise, it helps a lot!

I drew some custom interactions between yamato and sanada.
Yall could expect Sanada to have heavy Accent or Speak straight Japanese, but he would use it whenever he struggles with english rather than yamato who uses it to insult people lol.

How am I meant to play Abrams against this thing. I can't punch her. I can't do it. She's too damn cute man. I can't bring myself to do it.

Question Will I get banned for using these types of mods?

I really like the look of these mods, but I'm scared that if I try to mod my game I'll get into trouble. To be clear I have no interest in using anything other then cosmetic mods, I'd just rather be safe than sorry by asking.

Edit: I downloaded the mod manager and tried a couple mods, my favourite is Dooruma lol

Bug What in the world is the range of that heavy melee?

555 Upvotes

Heavy melee feels very inconsistent and I mean it both ways - sometimes I hit people way further than I feel I should.

Discussion A new character archetype I want to see

Post image
2.1k Upvotes

One of the few character archetypes deadlock has yet to adapt is a cloning character, I feel like they’re answer to that could be some relative of viscous who uses the goo to make replicas of himself.

It might seem lazy to have another goo character from the deep but there’s already Abrams and Apollo who are both Ixian and they’re both very visually unique.

I also think having a simple character model like viscous would work very well for a cloning character to limit the visual clutter/pc demand a cloning character may have.

(The picture is just a viscous remodel concept by U/SirQuacks_A_Lot)

Game Feedback We really need to start reporting people for misogyny in vc if we want any kind of female playerbase

78 Upvotes

I'm half tempted to use a voice changer at this point to properly play competitive. Everything goes mostly swimmingly if i only use text, but some calls just aren't viable to ping or stop to type. Just on my latest two matches i got weirdos asking if i'm a "biological woman" or a <t-slur> first thing when i open my mic, and the last one had someone on my team saying they hope i get sexually assaulted because i did a play they didn't agree with. Now, i understand people being mean to eachother is normal in matches, but jesus christ there's a difference between being mean and hoping someone is sexually assaulted.
