The Curiosity Shop is the place players go to purchase various items.
Overview
The Curiosity Shop is the main form of progression in matches of Deadlock, giving players access to dozens of powerful items available for the player to purchase using Souls. These items provide a variety of different stat increases and bonuses for the player, modifying things like ammo, fire rate, damage of abilities and weapons, ability range and cooldowns, movement speed, etc, along with passive buffs and additional active abilities.
Items are split into three categories; the two damage types, Weapon and Spirit, and Vitality for defense.
These shops are scattered throughout the map with one at each base, towards mid on both teams sides, along with every lane's first Guardians, although these close after the Guardian is killed. Players can interact with shops by standing in front of them within the small yellow rectangle.
Every hero also has a set of recommended items for the early, mid, and late game picked out specifically for them by the developers. Players are also capable of creating and sharing their own builds for each hero.
Some items are components, which can be upgraded into larger items with improved effects.
Item Types
Weapon
Weapon items focus on improving the player's base weapons, giving additional ammo, weapon damage, fire rate, or giving players buffs like more damage, defense, or lifesteal when they land their shots and the enemies they hit debuffs, like reducing their armor or movement speed. Weapon items are great for powering up basic attacks and consistently applying effects to the player and enemies.
Vitality
Vitality items focus on improving the player's survivability, defense, and movement capabilities. Items offer more max health and regen, resistance to bullet and spirit damage, extra stamina and sprint speed, and several active items that allow for players to heal quickly or stay in a fight longer.
Spirit
Spirit items focus on improving the player's abilities, modifying things like their damage, duration, and cooldown, giving abilities extra charges and lifesteal. These items are best for heroes with powerful abilities, and weak or inconsistent primary weapons.
Functions
Buying
Items can be purchased using souls, and are separated into 4 different tiers based on their price, 500, 1,250, 3,000+ and 6,200+, items with components can be bought in their entirety or get upgraded into from their components for their price minus the souls already spent on the components.
Selling
Items can be sold back to the shop for half of the initial amount of souls spent on them, or entirely refunded if the player has not left the shop area after first purchasing an item, freeing up item slots for the player.
Imbuing
When certain items are purchased the player is prompted to imbue one of their hero's abilities, giving them an additional bonus in the stat that item is improving. For example, when buying Superior Cooldown, one ability can be chosen to have a greater cooldown reduction then the others, allowing for further ability specialization.
Shop Locations
Base Shop
The base shop can be found at spawn. Unlike other shops, the buying radius extends to the whole width of the spawn room. Players can only buy items at their own base's shop.
Side Shop
By every lane there is a side shop available to all heroes', allowing quick purchases without leaving the lane. However, if the respective tier one tower is destroyed , the side shop closes and will not sell any items for the rest of the match. Players can only buy items at their own team's side shops.
Secret Shop
Both sides have their own secret shop, which can be found on either the North Side or South Side from the Mid-Boss. This secret shop will never close and will sell items no matter what state of the game it is. Both teams can buy from all secret shops.
