Hero Labs is a unique gamemode in Deadlock. It is a limited testing environment where new Heroes can be tested while they are still in very early development. There are currently 7 heroes exclusive to Hero Labs.
Overview
Hero Labs is currently on limited testing hours, available between 01:00 - 03:00 Pacific Standard Time (PST). In order to access the mode, players are required to have played 50 standard games previously.
Hero Labs matches are identical to standard games, save for the addition of new work in progress heroes. Most new heroes are very early in development, some with temporary names, abilities, models and effects that are all subject to change. Heroes in this mode will often be removed, updated or re-added as they develop.
Additionally, while queueing for a match, players that queue for a new hero and don't get them selected will be given higher priority in subsequent games until they get one.
