The Map 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.

Overview

Layout

The map is divided into four distinct lanes; York Street (Yellow Lane), Greenwich Lane (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 Gold Urns, crates and the neutral Denizens. In each lane, a zipline extends from both bases directly overhead, with its color changing based on how far the lane is pushed in.

Across the map in various locations players can find Gold Urns and destructible boxes. While the boxes have a 40% chance to drop Souls, Gold Urns have a chance to drop permanent stat bonuses, such as spirit power or weapon damage. They spawn 3 minutes into the game and will respawn 3 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're on.

Objectives

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

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 your team on that lane. The ziplines on the map will show how far a lane is "pushed" towards the enemy base, how far your zipline can take you, and if any lanes are in need of help with a quick glance. Teleporters can be used to quickly traverse the map horizontally.
