<div>'''Hero Labs''' was a unique gamemode in Deadlock. It acted as a limited testing environment where new [[Heroes]] could be tested while they were still in very early development. <br />
<br />
<br />
Over its lifetime, there were '''eight''' Heroes tested through Hero Labs, with '''four''' remaining at the time of its removal. It was removed on {{Update link|August|18|2025}}.<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
In order to access the mode, players were required to have played 50 standard games previously. Hero Labs could only be played during scheduled hours. <br />
<br />
Hero Labs matches were identical to standard games, save for the addition of new work-in-progress Heroes. Most of these Heroes were very early in development, with temporary names, abilities, and assets that were all subject to change. The intention was to have the Heroes in this mode be removed, updated, or re-added frequently during their development.<br />
<br />
Players that queued for a Hero Labs-exclusive Hero but weren't selected to play them were granted higher priority in subsequent games. This higher priority would persist until the player was matched with one.<br />
<br />
== Heroes ==<br />
The following heroes were in Hero Labs until the mode was discontinued.<br />
