The Cursed Apple

Deadlock's map.

The map is where matches take place in Deadlock. Each match has 6 players divided into 2 teams, starting on opposite sides of the map. Players begin at their base, where they can purchase items from The Shop.

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

• Yellow: York St
• Orange: Orchard Blvd
• Blue: Broadway
• Pink: Park Ave

In the center of the map is the jungle area. Each lane has four defenses: Guardians and Walkers, who defend the Patron.

Design

The map takes place in the game's version of New York City. It is still in 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

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 surrounding the jungle, where players can purchase items.

Jungle monsters include:

• Mid-Boss

  • Soul Rewards:
    • Lane creeps no longer grant souls when killed.
    • Souls are granted when the orb floating out of the lane creeps is destroyed.
    • Before 10 minutes, lane creeps gave half the souls, with the orb providing the other half. Denying lane creeps early grants 50% of the reward to your team and denies 50% to the opposition.

  • Spawn and Respawn: Every 5 minutes thereafter.

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 zip-line can take you, and if any lanes are in need of help with a quick glance.
