The Curiosity Shop
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, which are acquired by killing enemy troopers and players, along with neutral monsters around the map. 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 the two damage types, weapon and spirit, and vitality for primarily 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.
Item Types
