In ''Deadlock'', the main goal is to destroy the enemy's [[Patron]] in their base while defending your own. The map has four lanes protected by Walkers/[[Guardians]] that send waves of troopers.

Collecting [[souls]] empowers the team, unlocks 'boons' from the Patron, and enhances Heroes' stats and abilities.

[[Souls]] are the primary source of power in the game, serving as both experience points and currency. Collecting them grants the player and their team more power, allowing them to earn 'boons' from their [[Patron]], which in turn increases their levels and enhances their Heroes~~' stats. As players~~ level up, they ~~unlock and upgrade their~~ abilities.

As Heroes level up, they gain access to stronger abilities. They also have four item slots for [[Weapon|Weapons]], [[Vitality]], and [[Spirit]], with additional [[Flex]] slots unlocked by completing map objectives. Players use souls to buy items, earned by actions like killing creeps, defeating enemy heroes, and destroying buildings. ''Deadlock'' takes inspiration from Dota 2, emphasizing tactics, teamwork, and strategic play, all within a third-person perspective that blends skill-shots, [[Zip-lines|movement]], and gunplay.<ref name=":0" />

~~In addition to levelling, Heroes~~ have four item slots ~~in their inventory~~ for ~~three categories:~~ [[Weapon]], [[Vitality]], and [[Spirit]]~~.
