Hideout: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

'''The Hideout''' is a personal, interactive hub that functions as the main menu and social area in [[Deadlock]]. Within this space, players can freely move around, prepare for matches, and invite friends to join them. Various terminals located throughout the Hideout provide access to the game's core menus, including Play, Watch, and Learn.

For training, the Hideout includes a dedicated ~~Practice Range~~ designed for testing hero movement and abilities without a loading screen. Players can access the more extensive Sandbox mode through a [[Teleporter]] found within this practice area.

For training, the Hideout includes a dedicated practice range called The Atrium, designed for testing hero movement and abilities without a loading screen. Players can access the more extensive Sandbox mode through a [[Teleporter]] found within this practice area.

== Overview ==

The Hideout serves as an immersive replacement for traditional 2D menus, with players loading into this space upon launching the game. The environment is a grand, multi-level manor room with an opulent, gothic atmosphere, featuring a large fireplace, an extensive library, and towering windows that offer a view of [[The Cursed Apple]] at dusk. This polished main hall stands in contrast to the adjoining ~~Practice Space~~, which has a more raw, industrial design.

* In the back-right corner of the room is a separate viewing lounge that houses the '''Watch Terminal'''.

A large, ornate staircase dominates the back of the room, leading to an upper balcony. The left side of the balcony is a furnished trophy room, while the right side is an undeveloped storage area filled with crates and sandbags.

=== Vote Terminal ===

Found on a table near the entrance to the Shop & Practice Space, the Vote Terminal is a wooden ballot box that ~~allows~~ the community to influence which Hero ~~will~~ be added. Interacting with it ~~opens~~ the "Who's Next?" menu, where players ~~can~~ cast votes for which hero they would like to see released next. Players ~~earn~~ one vote for each match they play. A timer on the UI ~~indicates~~ when the next hero unlock is scheduled to occur.

[[File:Hideout curiosity shop.png|thumb|The antechamber containing The Curiosity Shop.]]

To the left of the main hall is an open doorway leading to a two-part training area.

Line 45:

The antechamber to the practice range features a fully-stocked counter for [[The Curiosity Shop]]. While players can access the item shop at any time with a dedicated keybind.

=== The ~~Practice Range~~ ===

=== The Atrium ===

The main practice area is a large, industrial-looking room with scaffolding and graffiti. It is designed for basic ability and damage testing.

* '''Bots:''' The range contains one friendly and one enemy bot. These bots are static and do not perform any actions, serving as simple targets.

Line 52:

** When in a party, a crystal appears that allows players to swap teams.

* '''Teleporter to Sandbox:''' At the back of the range is a [[teleporter]] that allows players to instantly load into the full Sandbox mode for more advanced training options.

== Customization ==

The Hideout is planned to be customizable with items unlocked by the player. The first unlockable is a snow globe above the fireplace for players who engaged in the [[Seasonal events#Winter|Winter 2024]] event challenges.
