The Doorman is a Hero in Deadlock. He's proper, he's polite, but the humble Doorman of The Baroness Hotel is more than meets the eye. A brisk ring of his Call Bell leaves nearby enemies disoriented, and his high-speed Luggage Cart knocks them right off their feet. Do you find yourself getting lost easily in the streets of Manhattan? Don't worry, The Doorman is here to provide a shortcut with his Doorway whenever the need arises. And only the most special of enemies get to experience the trip of a lifetime to The Baroness Hotel.
A self-described "Fledgling God" and a cosmic being of some repute, the Doorman planned to experience this plane for only a few weeks. After growing bored of wanton murder and torment, he since decided to remain as a simple doorman within the New York service industry to continue observing humanity's curious behavior.
The Doorman was released on August 22, 2025 as the third hero of the Six New Heroes update (second winner of hero vote).

Service With A Smile can pierce through enemies. It deals 50% less damage after the first target.

Split Shot by hitting multiple players with the same projectile, and it also makes pierced projectiles deal 100% damage to all targets.
Note: Doorman's in-game weapon stats incorrectly list 1.47 bullets per second and 43 DPS. This is a bug.

Apart from global changes, The Doorman does not have any special modifications for his abilities in Street Brawl.
In Street Brawl, every hero draws items from a shared pool, but some items are weighted to appear more often for a given hero and others less often. For each tier below, that tier's items are grouped by how likely they are to be offered to The Doorman: High, Average, or Low chance.
See The Doorman/Lore for more story content.
“He's proper, he's polite, but the humble Doorman of The Baroness Hotel is more than meets the eye.
While he had only planned to experience life on this plane for a few weeks, The Doorman quickly discovered that the New York service industry was a great way to see the strange demands that please humans.
