{{main|The Cursed Apple}}
The map is where all of the fighting in ''Deadlock'' takes place. Known as "The Cursed Apple" and based on Midtown and Lower Manhattan in New York City, the map contains all of the unique features of ''Deadlock's'' gameplay.

=== Minimap ===
{{main|Minimap}}
The Minimap provides players with a view of the battle at large, providing live information regarding relevant match information.
* The Minimap provides specific information of the location of Camps, friendly and enemy Troopers, Shops, Buffs, and enemy Heroes (under certain conditions).
* The Minimap should be checked often to give players insight on the status of their own team, lane status, enemy positions, and camp locations.

=== Structures and Units ===
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto"
|-
! Unit/Structure !! Image !! Description
|-
| [[Troopers]] || [[File:Trooper_Icon.png|110px]] || Troopers are the main force of each Patron, sent down the map's Lanes to attack the opposing Patron. These small warriors will march in squads of 4 to attack all enemies nearby, including Guardians, Heroes, and the enemy Troopers.
For much of the game, destroying Troopers (and their [[Soul]] orbs) is the primary way for players to gain more Souls. In addition, players may Deny enemy teams by stealing the Souls from killed troopers. 
|-
| [[Guardian]] || [[File:Guardian_Icon.png|110px]] || The first objective of the lane is the Guardian, who has a laser attack, a melee attack, and a slam attack. The slam attack does AoE damage to enemies near the Guardian.
|-
| [[Walker]] || [[File:Walker_Icon.png|110px]] || The second objective of the lane is the Walker who has a laser attack, a Volcano Salvo, and a slam. Your team will gain an [[Extra Slots|Extra Slot]] per enemy Walker destroyed.
|-
| [[Guardian|Base Guardians]] || [[File:Base_guardians.png|110px]] || The Third objective of the lane is two Guardians outside the enemy base. When both of these enemy Guardians fall in a lane, the zipline for allies in that lane becomes significantly faster.
|-
| [[Shrine]] || [[File:Shrines.png|110px]] || The fourth objective is the Shrines. They have no attacks. There are two shrines, one on each side of the base. They both need to be destroyed in order to weaken the Patron, allowing you to kill it and win the game.
|-
| [[Patron]] || [[File:Patron_Icon.png|110px]] || The fifth and final objective is the Patron, which ends the game. It has two modes, normal and weakened. You can not damage a Patron in its normal state, it must be exposed by killing both Shrines in the base.
Once the Patron has been brought to 50% HP, it will become invulnerable, transform and move into their team's Pit. If the weakened Patron is not currently under attack, it will passively regenerate its health. 

When the Patron moves into phase two, any Death Timers on the defending team will be shortened by up to 20s to a minimum of 10s, allowing for a final defense. 
|-
| [[Neutral]] || [[File:Neutral_Icon.png|110px]] ||
Neutrals exist in the "Jungle" of the map. These Camps are located across the map and are denoted by cyan triangle icons. The number of lines beneath the icon indicates the difficulty of the camp: zero lines for easy camps, one line for medium camps, and two lines for hard camps. They are worth a small to medium amount of [[Souls]] if destroyed and respawn soon after. 
|-
| [[Mid-Boss]] || [[File:Midboss.png|110px]] || The Mid-Boss is located in the center of the map and is a durable threat that typically requires multiple team members to co-ordinate and defeat.
When the Mid-Boss dies, it drops the [[Rejuvenator]]. The Rejuvenator must be claimed by landing heavy melee attacks on it, it requires 3 hits to fully collect. Each successful hit immediately grants every member of your team a '''Rejuvenation Credit'''.
If a hero dies while holding a Rejuvenation Credit, they will respawn at their death location and the credit is consumed. The credit does not affect deaths that happened before it was earned.

=== Interactive Objects ===
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto"
|-
! Object !! Image !! Description
|-
| [[Soul Urn]] || [[File:Soul_Urn_Render.png|110px]] || After 10 minutes of game time, the Soul Urn will appear and be ready for capture. The capturing hero will receive a few minor stat buffs, and several [[Soul Orbs]] will spawn from the deposit point. 
These [[Soul Orbs]] default to the capturer; however, they can be denied by opponents or confirmed by teammates to share the bounty.

The Urn respawns every 5 minutes, and its spawn location is to the side of either bridge on green or yellow, and its capture location will be the opposite spawn (i.e., urn spawns on yellow, so its capture will be at green).
|-
|-
| [[Unstable Rift]] || [[File:Unstable_rift_objective_2.png|110px]] || After 11 minutes of game time, Unstable Rift capture points will periodically appear on a side lane's bridge after 80 seconds. The winning team will receive [[Souls]] and Rift Troopers will spawn for that lane. After a minute of a tied contest, neutral [[Soul Orbs]] will spawn to be claimed by either team.
Rifts spawn every 6-8 minutes.
|-
| [[Breakables]] || [[File:Gold_Urn_Render.png|110px]] || Breakables are found all around the map in the form of a [[crate]] or a [[golden statue]]. Break them for a minor but permanent power-up or a small amount of [[Souls]]. 
|-
| [[Sinner's Sacrifice]]
| [[File:SinnersSacrifice InGame ISO.png|85px]]|| Sinner's Sacrifice is a vending machine that provides Heroes with [[Souls]] in exchange for health if punched.
|-
| [[Ziplines]]||[[File:Map Nav.png|110px]]||The Transit Lines (aka Hyperlines, or Ziplines) are the primary method of long-distance transportation in Deadlock. The Transit Lines are located throughout the Map, starting from each team's base, running down the three different lanes. Each team has their own Transit Lines system. The availability of the Transit Line depends on how far a team's Troopers has pushed down the lane.
|-
| [[Teleporter]]||[[File:Teleporter walker.png|110px]]||
2 pairs of Teleporters which can be used to quickly traverse the map horizontally .
|-
| [[Ropes]]||[[File:Screenshot_from_2024-10-08_18-29-30.png|110px]]||
Ropes can be used to quickly ascend to midlevels or rooftops.
