The Curiosity Shop
The shop is where players can purchase 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, 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
Weapon
Weapon items focus on improving the player's base weapons, giving additional ammo, weapon damage, fire rate, giving players buffs like more damage, defense, or life steal 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 your heroes basic attacks and consistently applying effects to yourself 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
