Jacob '''Lash''' is an asshole, and a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. Lash is a brutal bruiser who eagerly initiates fights and chases down fleeing opponents. He leaps into combat with his '''[[Lash#Grapple|Grappling hook]]''', '''[[Lash#Flog|Flogging]]''' his foes with a life-stealing whip and stomping the ground with a '''[[Lash#Ground Strike|Ground Strike]]''' that damages multiple targets. If the enemy team groups up, Lash can pick them all up at once and '''[[Lash#Death Slam|Death Slam]]''' them into the ground.

When I come for you, you're gonna know it. There's just not a damn thing that you can do about it.

Jacob Lash is an asshole, and a Hero in Deadlock. Lash is a brutal bruiser who eagerly initiates fights and chases down fleeing opponents. He leaps into combat with his Grappling hook, Flogging his foes with a life-stealing whip and stomping the ground with a Ground Strike that damages multiple targets. If the enemy team groups up, Lash can pick them all up at once and Death Slam them into the ground.

A stevedore with ego the size of an airship, the Lash is more famous for his reputation as the champion of the underground fight club Bear Pit.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • Jacob Lash is an asshole.
  • Lash’s parry animation was changed after streamer JoeyCheerio shared feedback during a livestream that was being watched by Valve Senior Animator Jamaal Bradley. He suggested the move should feel more like a heavy, belly-first chest smash, similar to King K. Rool in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. The updated animation was introduced in a later patch, with Bradley stating "we appreciate our players".[2]
  • Lash's name was localized in the Brazilian Portuguese localization as "Chico T.", a pun on the word "chicote" ("whip").
  • Lash's voice line that he "used to do an uppercut" seems to be a reference to a datamined unused ability of his, named "Shoryuken" in reference to Street Fighter.
  • "Thinking About Lash in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Lash in the Hideout.
  • Lash's killstreak voice line "Winning's my business and business is good" is a possible reference to the Megadeth song Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!.
  • Lash's Ground Strike upgrade voice line "They're about to learn that their arms are too short to box with god" is a possible reference to a quote by pro wrestler CM Punk to The Rock in WWE. The phrase was popularized by the 1976 Broadway musical Your Arms Too Short to Box with God.
