'''Street Brawl''' is a fast-paced, 4v4, combat-focused game mode in ''[[Deadlock]]'', offering a short game format designed for quick sessions. Street Brawl removes the standard [[Souls|soul]] economy entirely, placing players in a best-of-five series of skirmishes with the ability to obtain a fixed amount of items each round.


Unlike the standard mode, Street Brawl removes the laning phase and farming entirely, placing players in a best-of-five series of skirmishes with randomized, escalating item builds in a single lane. Each round, all players start on similar footing, having access to the same number of items. This simpler gameplay means that snowballing is not as much as a concern, and players do not need to make decisions about what objectives to focus on. Each round, all abilities start ready to use, except for ultimate abilities, which start on a heavily reduced cooldown.
Before each round, players will be presented with three sets of three items to choose from. Players can choose to reroll one set of items each round. Players who queued for Street Brawl with the random hero option will be given an additional reroll for the first three rounds. Street Brawl has exclusive legendary [[items]] not available in standard matches. Additionally, both normal and legendary items can appear as "enhanced" versions, with improved numerical stats. If a player is presented with an item that normally upgrades from an item they have already chosen, they will be given another item of a lower tier as a bonus.  


Before each round, players will be presented with three sets of three items to choose from. Players can choose to reroll one set of items each round. Players who queued for Street Brawl with the random hero option will be given an additional reroll that carries over between rounds until it is used. Street Brawl has exclusive legendary [[items]] not available in standard matches. Additionally, both normal and legendary items can appear as their enhanced versions, with improved numerical stats. If a player is presented with an item that is an upgrade to an item they have already taken, they will be given another item of a lower tier as a bonus.  
Having access to the same number of items reduces the likelihood of one particular player snowballing ahead of others, and players do not need to make decisions about what objectives to focus on. Each round, all abilities start ready to use, except for ultimate abilities, which start on a heavily reduced cooldown.


Street Brawl matches do not affect the player's matchmaking rating in standard mode.<ref>2026-01-22 - ''@messonizz'' and [[Yoshi]]; Deadlock Discord - @messonizz: ''"Does Street Brawl effect your rank?"'' Yoshi: ''"No it doesn't"''</ref>

=== Structures ===
* '''Health Scaling:''' The defending [[Guardian]] or [[Walker]]'s base health scales up each round:
** '''Round 1:''' {{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|m_vecObjectiveMaxHealth|1}}
** '''Round 2:''' {{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|m_vecObjectiveMaxHealth|2}}
** '''Round 3:''' {{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|m_vecObjectiveMaxHealth|3}}

If they are at match point, they get '''+{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|ComebackBonusHealthCritical}}''' health.
* When the objective is a [[Walker]], it gains an additional '''+{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|Tier2BonusHealth}}''' health.
* [[Structures]] have faster and increased resist decay over time.
* [[Guardians]] have [[Walker#Backdoor_protection|Backdoor Protection]].
=== NPCs ===
[[Neutral|Neutrals]] do not spawn in Street Brawl.
[[Trooper|Troopers]] spawn faster (every '''{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|TrooperSpawnTimer|1}}s''' in early rounds, '''{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|TrooperSpawnTimer|3}}s''' in later rounds) and spawn '''{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|TrooperSpawnBeforeRoundStartTimer}} seconds''' before the round officially begins. They have starting [[Spirit Resist]] and increased Spirit Resist during overtime, and deal more damage to structures.
=== Overtime Mechanics ===
If a round exceeds the standard time limit, it enters Overtime.
* '''Trooper Buffs:''' During Overtime, Troopers gain a health and damage multiplier that scales up each round:
** '''Rounds 1, 2, and 3:''' Health x{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|OvertimeTrooperHealthScale|1}}, Damage x{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|OvertimeTrooperDamageScale|1}}
** '''Round 4:''' Health x{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|OvertimeTrooperHealthScale|4}}, Damage x{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|OvertimeTrooperDamageScale|4}}
** '''Round 5:''' Health x{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|OvertimeTrooperHealthScale|5}}, Damage x{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|OvertimeTrooperDamageScale|5}}
* '''Respawn Penalties:''' Player respawn times are increased:
** Standard Overtime adds '''{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|OvertimeRespawnTimeIncrease|1}}-{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|OvertimeRespawnTimeIncrease|5}} seconds''' to the base respawn time.
** Urgent Overtime adds '''{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|OvertimeRespawnTimeIncreaseUrgent|1}}-{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|OvertimeRespawnTimeIncreaseUrgent|5}} seconds''' to the base respawn time.
=== Other differences ===
Players cannot pause in Street Brawl.
[[Healing]] in base is twice as fast as standard play.
[[Ziplines]] have a modified cooldown on round start of '''{{GenericData|get_streetbrawl_param|ZipBoostCooldownOnStart}} seconds'''.
There is no item limit. If a player gets more than 12 items, the lower tier items are no longer visible in the UI, but their effects are still active.
== Item Draft ==
See "Item Draft" in individual [[Hero]] pages to see the chance of getting certain items for each hero.
While all heroes have a random chance to get any item, some items are weighted to be more likely to drop for specific heroes, and some counter items are more likely to drop when playing ''against'' specific heroes. Using a reroll will drop items of similar tier and rarity as the items in the current roll. Choosing the random hero option in character select allows the player to have an extra item reroll in the first 3 rounds. Item drops are mirrored between teams: if a player on one team is offered a rare, enhanced, or legendary item drop, a player on the enemy team will be offered an equivalent item drop.
=== Draft Tier Progression ===
Each round, players are presented with 3 sets of items to choose from. The available tiers scale up as the match progresses to ensure players get access to stronger items later in the game:
* '''Round 1:''' Tiers 1, 2, and 3
* '''Round 2:''' Tiers 2 and 3
* '''Round 3:''' Tiers 2, 3, and 4
* '''Round 4:''' Tiers 3 and 4
* '''Round 5:''' Tier 4 (with a chance for Tier 5 Legendary)
=== Counter Items ===
These items are more likely to drop for a player in Street Brawl when playing against their corresponding hero.

Since [[Trooper|Troopers]] don't drop [[Souls]] in Street Brawl, players are less encouraged to hit them. However, pushing waves is still valuable to gain heal from Banner Troopers and pressure the enemy's objectives.
