The '''Cursed Apple''' (sometimes called "The Map" in slang. file name ''dl_streets'') is the default location where matches take place in ''[[Deadlock]]''. It is a small segment of the game's version of New York City, and is where the [[Heroes]] fight to complete [[The Ritual]] and summon their respective [[Patron]]. Players can view the [[Minimap]] at any time to see the map.

=== Juke Rooms ===
Juke Rooms are small dead-end tunnels located in specific points around the map. They are marked by a shadowy figure standing in their doorways. Juke Rooms - as implied by their name - are most often used to hide or corner enemies, as they have only one entrance. The doorway shadow also acts as a warning for fleeing players that they are about to walk into a dead-end.

[[File:Headed to purple.png|thumb|A player, upon pinging a lane, has their hero state which lane they are headed to.]] In each lane on either team there are a series of powerful, defensive structures that must be destroyed in order to reach the enemy base. The first is the [[Guardian]], followed by the [[Walker]] and finally a pair of weaker [[Guardian#Base Guardian|Base Guardians]]. In each team's base are two [[Shrine]]s, which must be destroyed in order to attack the main object: the [[Patron]]. The Patron has two phases, and will shift to the second one after the first phase has been defeated. Destroying the now weakened Patron is the condition for winning a match.

In the very middle of the map is a second major objective known as the [[Mid-Boss]]. It is a large alien creature similar to the Denizens, possessing a very large health pool, a constantly regenerating shield and a highly dangerous laser beam. After being slain, it will spawn a [[Rejuvenator]] Crystal that can be claimed by either team. The claimer's team will be bestowed with the Rejuvenation Credit buff, granting them special effects.
