'''Abrams''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He is a hard-boiled, hard-hitting bruiser of a character that focuses on engaging groups of enemies and relying on his high health, high damage output, and life draining ability to stay in the fight. With a powerful area stun and a devastating shoulder charge, Abrams can isolate fragile targets from the rest of the team and set-up his more damaging allies to finish them off.

A capable and well-known detective of New York, Abrams solved crimes ranging from kidnappings to ritual murders. One day, a mysterious Tome was left on his desk with a note of "Don't let them have it" scrolled in Onyx blood; followed by car bombings and break-ins to his office. Now, Abrams is trying to figure out just what the hell is going on.

=== Lore ===
Abrams is [[Ixia|Ixian]].<ref name=":0">[[Abrams/Quotes#Conversations|Grey Talon and Abrams conversation]] - {{PageRef|name=Grey Talon}}: ''"You remind me of my stepdaughter."'' - {{PageRef|name=Abrams}}: ''"Son married an Ixian?"'' - {{PageRef|name=Grey Talon}}: ''"Yeah."''</ref> However, unlike [[Infernus]], he does not demonstrate control over fire.

Abrams' goal in the ritual is to destroy the Tome.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Abrams|hero2=Dynamo|number=3|hero_quote1=Dynamo|quote1=I... don't suppose I could... take a look at that Tome, when all this is over?|hero_quote2=Abrams|quote2=Professor, if things go our way, there won't be a tome for you to look at!}}</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Patron}}s in-game [[Abrams/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (Abrams Start): ''"You protected the Tome as no one else could. But the time has come for you to free yourself from its burden."''</ref>

Abrams expresses little control over the Tome.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}' in-game [[Abrams/Quotes#Seismic Impact|voice line]] (Upgrade Seismic Impact): ''"I gotta figure out how to use this damn book before it gets me killed!"''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}' in-game [[Abrams/Quotes#Seismic Impact|voice line]] (Upgrade Seismic Impact): ''"I'll make that damned book work for me."''</ref> The Tome often tries to fly away, which is weaponised by Abrams and allows him to cast Seismic Impact.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}' in-game [[Abrams/Quotes#Seismic Impact|voice line]] (Upgrade Seismic Impact): ''"Oh, I'll be ready when this thing tries to fly away."''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}' in-game [[Abrams/Quotes#Seismic Impact|voice line]] (Upgrade Seismic Impact): ''"(Sigh) I'm going to be holding onto a book for dear life. Great."''</ref>

Abrams likes to drink whiskey.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Vyper|file=Viper kill atlas 05.mp3|context=(killed Abrams)|transcription=I'll buy him some whiskey, he'll get over it.}}</ref> He also frequents [[Jezebel's]].<ref>{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}' in-game [[Abrams/Quotes#Enemy|voice line]] (Killed Mo & Krill): ''"I'll buy you guys a round at Jezebel's later."''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Infernus}}' in-game [[Infernus/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (Killed Abrams): ''"I hate takin' out my regulars."''</ref>

Outside of his case with the Tome, Abrams has also been investigating the [[Paradox Organisation]].<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Abrams|hero2=Paradox|number=2|hero_quote1=Paradox|quote1=We like secrets and you seem to have a knack for finding them. But a word of advice: some things aren't meant to be revealed. Stop asking questions about us.}}</ref>

== Character interactions ==

* In one of the endings of [[The Binding of Oathkeeper|''The Binding of Oathkeeper'']], Abrams moves to {{HeroIcon|Lady Geist}}'s apartment.<ref>[[The Binding of Oathkeeper]] - Chapter 5B</ref>
* Abrams is surprised that {{HeroIcon|Infernus}} has never visited Ixia.<ref>[[Abrams/Quotes#Conversations|Infernus and Abrams conversation]] - Abrams: ''"So when's the last time you went to Ixia?"'' Infernus: ''"Never."'' Abrams: ''"You gotta be kidding me!"'' Infernus: ''"New York born and raised, baby."''</ref>
* Abrams calls {{HeroIcon|Infernus}} "his bartender".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Abrams|suffix='|file=Abrams kill inferno 05.mp3|transcription=Hope I didn't kill my bartender for nothing.}}</ref> He also refers to Infernus as "Fern".<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Abrams|hero2=Infernus|number=1|hero_quote1=Abrams|quote1=Hey Fern, next time you're pouring me the good stuff, remember all the times I saved your life today.}}</ref>

But know this: When you complete the ritual, I will hold up my end of the bargain."''</ref>
* Abrams plays in {{HeroIcon|Wraith}}'s weekly poker game alongside {{PageRef|name=Mo & Krill}}.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}' in-game [[Abrams/Quotes#Enemy|voice line]] (Killed Wraith): ''"This better not kick me out of Sunday's card game..."''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}' in-game [[Abrams/Quotes#Enemy|voice line]] (Killed Mo & Krill): ''"See you at the game Sunday, Krill!"''</ref> Wraith calls him '''Abe'''.<ref>[[Abrams/Quotes#Conversations|Abrams and Wraith conversation]] - Wraith: ''"Yeah yeah, wrong hands, blah blah - Abe, you're not the chosen one. You're just a guy who was dealt a bad hand. Dump the book and get your life back."''</ref>
* {{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}},<ref>{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}'s in-game [[Lady Geist/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (Killed Abrams): ''"Give me that Tome, Abrams!"''</ref> {{PageRef|name=Paradox}}<ref>{{PageRef|name=Paradox}}'s in-game [[Paradox/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (Killed Abrams): ''"The tome will be mine, Abrams!"''</ref> and {{PageRef|name=Yamato}}<ref>{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}' in-game [[Abrams/Quotes#Enemy|voice line]] (Killed Yamato): ''"You'll get this book over my dead body, Yamato."''</ref> have shown interest in taking the Tome off of Abrams. {{PageRef|name=Seven}} is fascinated by the Tome, but isn't interested in taking it.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Abrams|hero2=Seven|number=1}}</ref>
* {{HeroIcon|Grey Talon}} says his "stepdaughter" is [[Ixia|Ixian]], like Abrams.<ref name=":0" /> However, it seems that the intended term was "daughter-in-law", as evidenced by Talon's background and Abrams' response.
* {{PageRef|name=Victor}} asks Abrams for help with uncovering his origins.<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Abrams|hero2=Victor|number=1|hero_quote1=Victor|quote1=Heard you love a good mystery.|hero_quote2=Victor|quote2=Can you help me with mine?}}</ref>

185.157.14.110: /* Item Types */ Links in the table

[[File:Weapon shop.png|thumb|229x229px|Weapon shop (as of May 2025)]]
'''Items''' are in-game equipment that provide [[Heroes]] with bonus attributes and special abilities. There are currently '''{{Items count}}''' items available for purchase from any [[The Curiosity Shop|Curiosity Shop]] on the [[Map|game map]].

Heroes start with eight item slots in their inventory which can hold an item of any type. Additionally, there are four [[Extra Slots]] that can be unlocked after completing certain map objectives.

Items are split into four tiers based on their price. All items within a tier have the same price. If an item has a [[Components|component]], the player gets a discount equal to the price of the component if they had purchased it first. If an item is a component to multiple items, the player only receives a discount on the first upgraded item.

Purchased items can be sold back to the shop, allowing the player to recoup half of the cost.

__TOC__

==Item Types==
There are three types of items:

* '''[[File:Weapon Icon.png|25px|link=]] Weapon''': Focus on improving base weapons, damage, and bullet effects.
* '''[[File:Vitality Icon.png|25px|link=]] Vitality''': Focus on improving survivability, defense, and movement.
* '''[[File:Spirit icon.png|25px|link=]] Spirit''': Focus on improving abilities and spirit power.
Spending Souls on items of each type provides corresponding stats bonuses. The strength of the bonus is dependent on the total cost of the items of each type owned by the player, up to {{Souls|28,800}} Souls.

Souls

2025-10-06T20:28:28Z

185.157.14.110: /* Soul Orbs */ typo

[[File:Soul released by the trooper..png|thumb|Soul released by the trooper.]]
{{souls|Souls}} are a crucial element in ''[[Deadlock]]'', serving both as currency and experience points (XP) for heroes. Players collect souls by various means, including shooting '''Soul Orbs''' released when certain entities die, taking [[Guardian]]s/[[Walker]]s, killing enemy players, and finding '''Unsecured Souls''' in boxes or crates. Unsecured souls are added to your total immediately but can drop upon death for other players to collect.

Every player starts the game with {{souls|400}}.

==Soul Orbs==

[[Trooper|Troopers]] and the [[Soul Urn]] release souls in a '''Soul Orb'''. These orbs may be attacked in melee or with guns to confirm (or deny) the souls and grant them to the attacker. If they are not attacked, then the souls will be granted to the killer automatically after around 1 second. Certain abilities like [[Shiv#(1) Serrated Knives|Serrated Knives]] or [[Lady Geist#(3) Malice|Malice]] can also confirm or deny orbs.

The soul orbs are initally dark when they spawn. They can only be shot and confirmed once they light up.

An opposing player may [[Strategy#Troop Management|deny]] these souls by attacking the soul orb instead. These will grant the Souls to the attacker and '''not''' the original killer.

Soul orbs can be divided into "local" and "global" soul orbs:

; Local : These orbs grant souls to the killer/attacker and are shared with any nearby allies. These are the most common kind of soul orb and are gained from killing Troopers and players
; Global : These orbs grant souls to the entire team of the killer/attacker, often with a boost to the last-hitter. These are earned from destroying [[Guardian]]s and [[Walker]]s as well as turning in the [[Soul Urn]]

===Local Soul Sharing===

When souls are to be shared, the game checks two distances to add allied heroes to the "pool" of heroes to split the received souls:

* 45m from the soul orb itself when it is broken
* 30m from the hero that killed the Trooper

If an allied hero is within '''either''' of these distances, souls are shared between the killer and those allied heroes.

== Gathering Souls ==

* Teams with fewer souls will gain more souls from all sources (see '''''Comeback Mechanics''''' below).

===Soul Distribution===
* [[Heroes|Hero]] kill souls are distributed between nearby players with the following rate:
** {{#invoke:GenericData|get_hero_gold_share_frac|1}}/{{#invoke:GenericData|get_hero_gold_share_frac|2}}/{{#invoke:GenericData|get_hero_gold_share_frac|3}}/{{#invoke:GenericData|get_hero_gold_share_frac|4}}/{{#invoke:GenericData|get_hero_gold_share_frac|5}}/{{#invoke:GenericData|get_hero_gold_share_frac|6}} (for 1/2/3/4/5/6 players)
*** EX: 1000 souls between 4 players would grant each player 210 souls (1000 * 21%)
** Additionally, the total souls count per kill is reduced based on how many players are nearby the hero killed, with the following rate: 100%/100%/90%/85%/80%/75% (for 1/2/3/4/5/6 players)
* [[Trooper]] souls are distributed between nearby players with the following rate:
** {{#invoke:GenericData|get_trooper_gold_share_frac|1}}/{{#invoke:GenericData|get_trooper_gold_share_frac|2}}/{{#invoke:GenericData|get_trooper_gold_share_frac|3}}/{{#invoke:GenericData|get_trooper_gold_share_frac|4}}/{{#invoke:GenericData|get_trooper_gold_share_frac|5}}/{{#invoke:GenericData|get_trooper_gold_share_frac|6}} (for 1/2/3/4/5/6 players)
*** EX: 120 souls between 4 players would grant each player 18 souls (120 * 15%)
* Before the [[Update:April 17, 2025|2025-04-17]] update, two players in the same lane both received 100% of souls before 8 minutes (soul duplication). Now the soul distribution is the same for the entire match, so both players get 65% per Trooper.

* When a Trooper is killed, the killer will receive 50% of the Trooper's souls at once, then the remaining 50% when the soul orb is destroyed by themselves, an ally, or it expires (multiplied by Soul distribution for all players nearby). Killing the Trooper with a [[Melee Attack|melee attack]] grants 100% of the value on kill.

===Denizens (Jungle Creeps)===

* Jungle camps contain [[Denizens]] that give souls to players on kill. They do not release soul orbs.
** In order for Denizens to give souls to both players, both players must deal damage to the Denizen.
** Souls from Denizens are split between all allied players who dealt damage to said Denizens.
*Souls from Denizens are '''unsecured''' souls

===Breakables===
* Breaking the wooden crates scattered throughout the map will have a chance to spawn some souls.
** Chance for any given crate to drop souls when broken is approximately 60%
** Amount of souls dropped is a function of in-game time:
*** ''[Souls Dropped] = 23 + 2.0*[Game Time in Minutes]''
*** For example: At 30:00 game time, a broken crate will drop 83 souls.

==Unsecured Souls==
[[File:Unsecured souls.png|thumb|Unsecured souls icon]]
Souls earned from killing Denizens and destroying Sinner's Sacrifice machines are '''unsecured'''. These souls will be dropped on death, allowing any player to collect the '''Soul Container''' by hitting it with a [[Melee Attack|Heavy Melee]]. Dropped unsecured souls will despawn after 3 minutes. These containers are marked with a circle icon on the [[Minimap]] and have a green glow effect.

Unsecured souls are converted into secured souls at a standard rate, meaning they will no longer be dropped on death.

* With fewer than 100 unsecured souls, they are converted to secured souls at a rate of 1 soul / second
* With more than 100 unsecured souls, they are converted at a rate of 1 soul / second per 100 unsecured souls
** '''Example:''' 570 unsecured souls is converted at 5 souls / second

[[Image:Unsecured_Souls_HUD.png|thumbnail|300px|Souls UI for Heroes]]

Unsecured souls may be spent in the shop, but are spent ''after'' secured souls. They are indicated by the silver-green ball on the Hero's hip known internally as a Soul Container, as well as in the number on the HUD with a red icon.

On the character UI, the large souls number is the '''total''' number of secured and unsecured souls added together.

== Leveling Up ==
Gathering souls will directly "level up" your hero gain skill points, [[Boon|Boons]] and other upgrades. See [[Leveling Up|leveling up]] for more information.

== Soul Values ==

* '''Soul Value:''' Value of the target at the time = 0m
* '''Soul Gain:''' How the value changes over the time of the match, measured in minutes{{#vardefine:GuardianKill|{{#invoke:GenericData|get_objective_param|Tier1GoldKill}}}}{{#vardefine:GuardianOrb|{{#invoke:GenericData|get_objective_param|Tier1GoldOrbs}}}}{{#vardefine:WalkerKill|{{#invoke:GenericData|get_objective_param|Tier2GoldKill}}}}{{#vardefine:WalkerOrb|{{#invoke:GenericData|get_objective_param|Tier2GoldOrbs}}}}{{#vardefine:BaseGuardianKill|{{#invoke:GenericData|get_objective_param|BaseGuardiansGoldKill}}}}{{#vardefine:BaseGuardianOrb|{{#invoke:GenericData|get_objective_param|BaseGuardiansGoldOrbs}}}}{{#vardefine:ShrineKill|{{#invoke:GenericData|get_objective_param|ShrinesGoldKill}}}}{{#vardefine:ShrineOrb|{{#invoke:GenericData|get_objective_param|ShrinesGoldOrbs}}}}{{#vardefine:WeakenedPatronKill|{{#invoke:GenericData|get_objective_param|PatronPhase1GoldKill}}}}{{#vardefine:WeakenedPatronOrb|{{#invoke:GenericData|get_objective_param|PatronPhase1GoldOrbs}}}}

* Soul gain from Urns is divided amongst the team. The Courier gets slightly more souls.

** Soul gain from structures is split with 40% given to nearby allied heroes, while 60% is divided amongst the entire team.

===Comeback Mechanics===

When a team is behind on souls, there are some "comeback mechanics" that come into play to allow the losing team to quickly catch up.

* Killing an enemy Hero will award more souls if your team is behind.
* Killing an enemy Hero that has a Kill Streak will reward a "Bounty" of extra souls.
* The Soul Urn will give additional souls to a team that is behind.
* The losing team gains up to 30% more souls from Troopers, Denizens, Sinner's Sacrifices and Objectives, based on how behind they are (peaks at 20% max net worth difference). The first 3k in net worth difference is ignored.

=== Catch up Mechanics ===
Catch up mechanics allow for players with low net worth to catch up to the other players on their team.

* The two players on each team with the lowest net worth have a passive gain of souls per second based on the total souls gathered by the team (2% and 1% for the lowest and second-lowest player, respectively). This occurs after laning phase (8 min).

'''Paige''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. Citizens of Manhattan will learn to appreciate the power of the written word when Paige joins the fight. With the mere toss of a book she can Conjure Dragons that sear enemies who get too close, or bind them to the ground with Captivating Read. Waning allies will find themselves emboldened by Defend and Fight, granting them the courage to fight another day. Fantasy becomes reality with Rallying Charge, summoning an entire cavalry to gallop across the city.

Paige grew up with books, love, and kindness in her family home; but she was at odds with her rebellious younger brother, Bryce. He sought out dangerous occult magics, disappearing one day while Paige's normally-watchful eye was away. Now a talented bibliomancer, Paige seeks answers about her brother's disappearance and will stop at nothing to find the answers.

Paige was released on [[Update:August 25, 2025|August 25, 2025]] as the third winner of the [[Update:August 18, 2025|Six Heroes]] update contest.

* Paige mentions real life literature such as [[wikipedia:A_Midsummer_Night's_Dream|A Midsummer Night’s Dream]] by William Shakespeare, [[wikipedia:Wuthering_Heights|Wuthering Heights]] by Emily Brontë, as well as referencing Arthurian Legend and [[wikipedia:Hercule_Poirot|Hercule Poirot]], a fictional detective by author Agatha Christie.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Paige|file=bookworm_select_05.mp3|transcription=Do you think I brought enough books?
