'''Seasonal events''' are temporary events in ''[[Deadlock]]'' to celebrate holidays.

'''Winter''' is the current seasonal event.

== Halloween ==
The 2024 Halloween event ran from October 31 to November 7.

It added 4 Halloween masks for heroes and pumpkin models for boxes, statues and [[Denizens]]. The Halloween masks were randomized.

[[File:Christmas menu.png|thumb|Winter main menu]]
The 2024 Winter event started in December 17 and is currently ongoing.

It adds a new main menu animation, remixed music for the menu and shops, and Winter-themed decorations in the streets, buildings, and [[Curiosity Shop]]. The [[Shopkeeper]] features a Santa mask and unique lines. In addition, the [[Denizen|Denizens]] are modelled after snowmen. [[Dynamo]] and the [[Newscaster]] have unique holiday voice lines.

All the mainline [[Heroes]] received unique Winter skins, which can be unlocked by completing their respective challenge.

=== Skin challenges ===
These challenges can be achieved only in a normal match or a labs match, not in a custom game or against bots. The conditions for the challenge must be completed in one match.

Winter skins are tracked in-game by a Santa hat icon in the main menu that shows how many skins have already been unlocked. Heroes with Winter skins have the Santa hat icon and a red background in the Heroes page.

The skins can be tested in sandbox mode or custom games (with cheats enabled) with the [[console commands]] <code>ent_fire player setbodygroup hat,1</code> and <code>ent_fire player setbodygroup xmas,1</code>.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Note: Vindicta's challenge can also be completed by killing an enemy while flying and then getting killed mid-flight, as the game seems to count the player's death as a kill.<ref>2024-12-21 - AbsoluteBreaker on Reddit.com/r/DeadlockTheGame - [https://www.reddit.com/r/DeadlockTheGame/comments/1hj97bc/vindictas_skin_unlocked_by_dying/ Vindicta's skin unlocked by... dying?]</ref> Getting killed may also work for Seven and Yamato's challenges.
