The '''map''' is where matches take place in ''[[Deadlock]]''. Each match has 12 players divided into 2 teams (6 per team), starting on opposite sides of the map. Players begin at their base, where they can purchase [[items]] from [[The Curiosity Shop|The Shop]].                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
The '''Map''' (file name ''dl_streets'') is where matches take place in ''[[Deadlock]]''. It is a small segment of the game's version of New York City, and is where the [[Heroes]] fight to complete [[The Ritual]] and summon their respective [[Patron]]. Players can view the [[Minimap]] at any time to see the map.


The map includes 4 lanes, each marked by a color on the mini-map:

=== Layout ===
[[File:Juke Room In-game.png|thumb|280x280px|A Juke Room, with a shadow figure in its doorway]]
The map is divided into four distinct lanes; York Avenue (Yellow Lane), Greenwich Street (Green Lane), Broadway (Blue Lane) and Park Avenue (Purple Lane). Outside of these lanes are a series of tunnels, alleyways and buildings that sometimes contain [[Golden Statue]]s, crates and the neutral [[Denizen]]s. In each lane, a [[Ziplines|zipline]] extends from both bases directly overhead, with each having the color of the corresponding lane.


* '''Yellow''': York St
Across the map in various locations players can find Golden Statues and destructible boxes. While the boxes have a 40% chance to drop [[souls]], Golden Statues have a chance to drop permanent stat bonuses, such as Spirit Power or Weapon Damage. They spawn 2 minutes into the game and will respawn 2 minutes after being destroyed.
* '''Orange''': Orchard Blvd
* '''Blue''': Broadway
* '''Purple''': Park Ave
[[File:Headed to purple.png|thumb|A player upon pinging a lane has their hero state which lane they are headed to. In this case purple]]Each lane has four lines of defense: [[Guardians]], [[Walkers]], and [[Shrines]], who defend the [[Patron]]. In the center of the map is '''the''' '''jungle''' area.


=== Design ===
Outside of the lanes is an area of the map called the jungle, which is home to the neutral [[Denizen]] camps. Denizens are alien-like entities that appear in groups and will attack when provoked. They come in three different sizes: small, medium and large, and drop souls the larger they are. Being neutral units, both teams can attack the same denizen camps, and they will be aggressive to their attackers no matter which team they are on.
The map takes place in the game's version of New York City. It is still in [[Early Development Build|early development]] and full of placeholder models. Like much of the game, it is inspired by the early 1900's United States, with both fantasy and retro-futuristic designs.


=== The Jungle ===
=== Juke Rooms ===
The jungle is home to many of the game's objectives, including monsters that grant buffs to a team when defeated. Additionally, there are [[Secret Shops|secret shops]] surrounding the jungle, where players can purchase items.
Juke Rooms are small dead-end tunnels located in specific points around the map. They are marked by a shadowy figure standing in their doorways. Juke Rooms - as implied by their name - are most often used to hide or corner enemies, as they have only one entrance. The doorway shadow also acts as a warning for fleeing players that they are about to walk into a dead-end.


Jungle monsters include:
=== Objectives ===
[[File:Headed to purple.png|thumb|A player, upon pinging a lane, has their hero state which lane they are headed to.]] In each lane on either team there are a series of powerful, defensive structures that must be destroyed in order to reach the enemy base. The first is the [[Guardian]], followed by the [[Walker]] and finally a pair of weaker [[Guardian#Base Guardian|Base Guardians]]. In each team's base are two [[Shrine]]s, which must be destroyed in order to attack the main object: the [[Patron]]. The Patron has two phases, and will shift to the second one after the first phase has been defeated. Destroying the now weakened Patron is the condition for winning a match.


* [[Mid-Boss]]
In the very middle of the map is a second major objective known as the [[Mid-Boss]]. It is a large alien creature similar to the Denizens, possessing a very large health pool, a constantly regenerating shield and a highly dangerous laser beam. After being slain, it will spawn a [[Rejuvenator]] Crystal that can be claimed by either team. The claimer's team will be bestowed with the Rejuvenation Credit buff, granting them special effects.

The Map (file name dl_streets) is where matches take place in Deadlock. It is a small segment of the game's version of New York City, and is where the Heroes fight to complete The Ritual and summon their respective Patron. Players can view the Minimap at any time to see the map.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Layout[edit | edit source]

A Juke Room, with a shadow figure in its doorway

The map is divided into four distinct lanes; York Avenue (Yellow Lane), Greenwich Street (Green Lane), Broadway (Blue Lane) and Park Avenue (Purple Lane). Outside of these lanes are a series of tunnels, alleyways and buildings that sometimes contain Golden Statues, crates and the neutral Denizens. In each lane, a zipline extends from both bases directly overhead, with each having the color of the corresponding lane.

Across the map in various locations players can find Golden Statues and destructible boxes. While the boxes have a 40% chance to drop souls, Golden Statues have a chance to drop permanent stat bonuses, such as Spirit Power or Weapon Damage. They spawn 2 minutes into the game and will respawn 2 minutes after being destroyed.

Outside of the lanes is an area of the map called the jungle, which is home to the neutral Denizen camps. Denizens are alien-like entities that appear in groups and will attack when provoked. They come in three different sizes: small, medium and large, and drop souls the larger they are. Being neutral units, both teams can attack the same denizen camps, and they will be aggressive to their attackers no matter which team they are on.

Juke Rooms[edit | edit source]

Juke Rooms are small dead-end tunnels located in specific points around the map. They are marked by a shadowy figure standing in their doorways. Juke Rooms - as implied by their name - are most often used to hide or corner enemies, as they have only one entrance. The doorway shadow also acts as a warning for fleeing players that they are about to walk into a dead-end.

Objectives[edit | edit source]

A player, upon pinging a lane, has their hero state which lane they are headed to.

In each lane on either team there are a series of powerful, defensive structures that must be destroyed in order to reach the enemy base. The first is the Guardian, followed by the Walker and finally a pair of weaker Base Guardians. In each team's base are two Shrines, which must be destroyed in order to attack the main object: the Patron. The Patron has two phases, and will shift to the second one after the first phase has been defeated. Destroying the now weakened Patron is the condition for winning a match.

In the very middle of the map is a second major objective known as the Mid-Boss. It is a large alien creature similar to the Denizens, possessing a very large health pool, a constantly regenerating shield and a highly dangerous laser beam. After being slain, it will spawn a Rejuvenator Crystal that can be claimed by either team. The claimer's team will be bestowed with the Rejuvenation Credit buff, granting them special effects.

Territory[edit | edit source]

An important part of Deadlock is managing the clash of Troopers that occurs in each lane. Killing enemy Troopers allowing allied troopers to move further into the lane extends the zipline available to the player's team on that lane. The ziplines on the map will show how far a lane is "pushed" towards the enemy base, how far the zipline can take the player, and if any lanes are in need of help with a quick glance. Teleporters can be used to quickly traverse the map horizontally.
