In Deadlock, two teams of 6—the ''Sapphire Flame'' and the ''Amber Hand''—battle on a city [[map]] with 4 lanes. The objective is to destroy the enemy's [[Patron]], a massive golem, while defending your own. Players control [[Heroes]] with upgradable abilities and items bought using [[souls]]. Souls are earned by defeating enemies and completing tasks and also unlock 'boons' from Patrons, which boost Hero stats. Heroes level up, unlock abilities, and equip items in slots for [[Weapon]], [[Vitality]], and [[Spirit]], with additional [[Flex]] slots unlocked by completing objectives. The game blends elements of shooters and MOBAs, focusing on tactics, teamwork, and strategy in a third-person perspective with skill-shots, movement, and gunplay.
