Ready to do some field testing.

— McGinnis

The Sandbox is a map in Deadlock in which players can test the various mechanics of the game.

Overview

Players can access the Sandbox from the Play menu or by entering the Teleporter in the Hideout's Atrium. Once in the Sandbox, entering the Teleporter will bring them back to the Atrium.

Players spawn in front of a Curiosity Shop (though they can buy items anywhere on the map). The spawn area heals the player. There is a yellow Zipline circling the building behind the shop.

To the left, there is a small garden with an ally and enemy Lane Guardian on each side, and an area with an enemy Walker further to the left. Troopers will spawn behind each Guardian and fight each other.

To the right, there is an ally and enemy Test Dummy hero next to a shooting range. In the front behind the truck, another Test Dummy runs left to right. There's a Cosmic Veil, a Rope, a Jump Pad, two Powerups, a Rejuvenator, and a pair of Teleporters. Further to the right, the Gym has a Dummy that will melee players to train parry timing. In the room labeled "Storage" in the back, there is a Neutral camp with a small, medium and large Neutral.

Settings

These settings are also used in the "Explore NYC" mode.

Known Bugs

If the player goes back to the Hideout via the menu while in puppet mode, they won't be able to move their hero in the Hideout. This can only be fixed by closing and re-opening the game.

Trivia

The layout of the garden area is similar to the Purple lane in the Neon Prime map.
