Hero Labs was a unique gamemode in Deadlock. It acted as a limited testing environment where new Heroes could be tested while they were still in very early development.


Over it's lifetime, there were eight Heroes tested through Hero Labs, with four remaining at the time of it's removal. It was removed on August 18, 2025.

Overview

In order to access the mode, players were required to have played 50 standard games previously. Hero Labs could only be played during scheduled hours.

Hero Labs matches were identical to standard games, save for the addition of new work-in-progress Heroes. Most of these Heroes were very early in development, with temporary names, abilities, and assets that were all subject to change. The intention was to have the Heroes in this mode be removed, updated, or re-added frequently during their development.

Players that queued for a Hero Labs-exclusive Hero but weren't selected to play them were granted higher priority in subsequent games. This higher priority would persist until the player was matched with one.

Heroes

The following heroes were in Hero Labs until the mode was discontinued.





The following heroes were originally in Hero Labs and later added to the main roster.
