Damage Amplification

Steveneven3: /* Bugs, Quirks, and Exceptions */

'''Damage Amplification''' or '''Damage Amp''' is a stat that multiplies the damage caused by the player to affected enemies and NPCs. It can be both positive and negative. In latter case it reduces damage and is also known as '''Damage Reduction'''.

{{#ev:youtube|apzBQPZyW_w|360|description=Video explaining Damage Amplification}}

== Calculation ==
Contrary to what the percentages might suggest, multiple sources of damage amplification do not all stack in the same way. There are three distinct categories of Damage Amplification, each interacting with the damage formula differently:

* '''Additive Amps:''' These add together with each other (including additive Damage Reductions) into a single pool.
* '''Multiplicative Amps:''' These multiply the total damage one by one.
* '''Instance Amps:''' These are nearly identical to multiplicative amps, main exception being they create a new instance of damage.

=== The Damage Formula ===

Based on testing, the generalized formula for how these amps apply to weapon damage is as follows:

<math>\text{Damage} = [(\text{Base Bullet Damage} \times \text{Weapon Multiplier}) \times (1 + \text{Total Additive Amps}) + \text{Flat Bonus}] \times \text{Multiplicative Amp}_1 \times \text{Multiplicative Amp}_2 \dots \times \text{Instance Amp Damage}_1 \times \text{Instance Amp Damage}_2</math>

'''Example:'''

# A hero has a base bullet damage of '''100''' and '''0''' flat weapon damage for simplicity.
# The hero is affected by {{ItemIcon|Inhibitor}} (an Additive Damage Reduction of '''-30%'''). Their damage drops to '''70''' (100 * 0.70 = 70).
# {{HeroIcon|Ivy}} casts {{AbilityIcon|Air Drop}} on the hero (an Additive Amp of '''+20%'''). The additive pool is now -30% + 20% = -10%. The hero deals '''90''' damage (100 * 0.90 = 90).
# The hero parries an enemy hero (Multiplicative Amp of '''+25%''' against parried target''')'''. This is applied after the additive pool. The hero now deals '''112.5''' damage (90 * 1.25 = 112.5).

== Damage Reduction ==

'''Damage Reduction''' is a negative form of Damage Amplification, reducing the damage output of enemies or its user. Mechanically, standard Damage Reductions are treated as negative '''Additive Amps''' (see Calculation section).

=== Damage Reduction Stacking ===

Valve's May 22 patch notes state that Damage Reduction debuffs are intended to stack diminishingly (i.e., multiplicatively, in the same manner as Resistance)<ref>{{Update link|May|22|2026}}</ref>.

However, live testing confirms that standard Damage Reduction debuffs have not been fully migrated to this new system. Currently, Damage Reductions (such as {{ItemIcon|Inhibitor}} or {{AbilityIcon|Fire Scarabs}}) simply act as negative Additive Amps. This means they add directly together with other additive amps (positive or negative) rather than multiplying against each other.

==== Spirit Damage Reduction====

Spirit Damage Reduction from {{HeroIcon|Infernus}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Afterburn}} (T2) and {{ItemIcon|Silencer}} does '''not''' behave like standard Damage Reduction. Multiple sources of Spirit‑specific reduction stack additively with each other (e.g., Afterburn T2 + Silencer = sum of percentages). This combined spirit reduction is then applied as a '''separate multiplier''', multiplicative with all other additive amps such as {{ItemIcon|Inhibitor}}.

== Bugs, Quirks, and Exceptions ==
* '''Additive Amps''' do not apply to many flat values, such as flat weapon damage bonuses, base damage for Melee abilities (Such as the bonus +60 damage from {{HeroIcon|Calico}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Leaping Slash}} T3 upgrade), {{ItemIcon|Capacitor}} active, {{AbilityIcon|Backstabber}}, etc.
* {{ItemIcon|Headhunter}}: Multiplicative non-instance amps are the only amps that work correctly with Headhunter damage.
* {{ItemIcon|Return Fire}}: Because Multiplicative Amps act as defensive stats on the target, if an attacker fires at a target with Return Fire while the attacker has an M-amp active against them, the attacker will take increased reflected damage.
* {{HeroIcon|Billy}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Blasted}} bullet amp is unique as it is a post-mitigation [[True Damage|pure damage]] amp. Because of this, it does not work at all against barriers.
* {{ItemIcon|Silencer}} and {{HeroIcon|Infernus}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Afterburn}} Tier 2 Spirit Damage Reduction are exceptions to the standard Damage Reduction rule. They stack additively with themselves, but multiplicatively with other additive amps.
* {{HeroIcon|Celeste}}'s Spirit damage amp from {{AbilityIcon|Radiant Daggers}} works like a multiplicative amp but is affected by additive amp bugs (see the Additive Amps entry above).
* {{ItemIcon|Unstoppable}}: Suppresses all sources of Damage Reduction while active, but only for [[Spirit Damage]].
* Abilities that scale with Bonus Weapon Damage such as {{AbilityIcon|Gutshot}}, are not impacted at all by Additive Amps or Reductions.
* [[True Damage|Pure damage]] from abilities such as {{AbilityIcon|Ira Domini}} is affected by Additive Amps and Reductions, but not multiplicative ones.

'''Rem''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. An accidental stowaway from the world of dreams, Rem has found himself stranded in the city that never sleeps. Pillow fights are Rem's preferred form of conflict, '''[[Rem#Pillow Toss|tossing his favorite pillow]]''' at enemies to knock them back when they're getting too close. His friends, however, he likes to keep nearby - '''[[Rem#Tag Along|leaping to their aid]]''' when things get dicey and taking a quick nap on their shoulder. His '''[[Rem#Lil Helpers|Lil Helpers]]''' are curious creatures, taking interest in everything the streets of New York have to offer, and cheering on his allies as they go. Ultimately when '''[[Rem#Naptime|Naptime]]''' hits, no one will be able to keep their eyes open.

A sleepy child from a world of dreams, Rem and his little helpers found themselves stranded in New York. Searching the five boroughs for a way home, Rem seeks to summon the Patrons so he can finally return to his family.

Rem was released on [[Update:January 26, 2026|January 26, 2026]] as the first winner of the [[Update:January 22, 2026|Old Gods, New Blood]] update contest.

== Innate ==

Rem can enter [[Tunnel|tunnels]] in the map by crouching, but he cannot enter while in combat.

== Weapon ==

{{WeaponCard|key=hero_familiar|weapon_name=Long Night}}
Long Night has a subtle "homing" effect, in which the projectiles bend towards the enemy when close to Rem's crosshair. This is more noticeable when landing headshots, and is offset by Rem's outgoing headshot reduction.

** Using Helpers for non-follow actions (crates, sinners, etc.) will apply a short ability cooldown regardless of the amount of Helpers available.
* Helpers can be assigned to [[Sinner's Sacrifice]] machines, and will always secure full jackpots as if done with a heavy melee. They are interrupted if a player hits the machine.
** Helpers wait until the final lightbulbs start flashing to do the last hit, allowing a short window of time for another player to get the jackpot first.
* Helpers can get [[Powerups|Bridge Buffs]].

* Helpers following Troopers or Heroes appear as green circles on the minimap, visible to Rem and his allies.
* Helpers can be assigned to a [[Curiosity Shop]] to buy items in queue. They can also buy from enemy shops, making Rem the only hero able to do so. (This does not apply to base shops.)
** Rem does not need to have line of sight to the shop to send a helper to it.
* Helpers have a short delay to collect [[souls]] after breaking [[boxes]], allowing a player to collect them first.

Damage Amplification

2026-07-17T00:31:19Z

Steveneven3: /* Instance Amplifiers */

'''Damage Amplification''' or '''Damage Amp''' is a stat that multiplies the damage caused by the player to affected enemies and NPCs. It can be both positive and negative. In latter case it reduces damage and is also known as '''Damage Reduction'''.

{{#ev:youtube|apzBQPZyW_w|360|description=Video explaining Damage Amplification}}

== Calculation ==
Contrary to what the percentages might suggest, multiple sources of damage amplification do not all stack in the same way. There are three distinct categories of Damage Amplification, each interacting with the damage formula differently:

* '''Additive Amps:''' These add together with each other (including additive Damage Reductions) into a single pool.
* '''Multiplicative Amps:''' These multiply the total damage one by one.
* '''Instance Amps:''' These are nearly identical to multiplicative amps, main exception being they create a new instance of damage.

=== The Damage Formula ===

Based on testing, the generalized formula for how these amps apply to weapon damage is as follows:

<math>\text{Damage} = [(\text{Base Bullet Damage} \times \text{Weapon Multiplier}) \times (1 + \text{Total Additive Amps}) + \text{Flat Bonus}] \times \text{Multiplicative Amp}_1 \times \text{Multiplicative Amp}_2 \dots \times \text{Instance Amp Damage}_1 \times \text{Instance Amp Damage}_2</math>

'''Example:'''

# A hero has a base bullet damage of '''100''' and '''0''' flat weapon damage for simplicity.
# The hero is affected by {{ItemIcon|Inhibitor}} (an Additive Damage Reduction of '''-30%'''). Their damage drops to '''70''' (100 * 0.70 = 70).
# {{HeroIcon|Ivy}} casts {{AbilityIcon|Air Drop}} on the hero (an Additive Amp of '''+20%'''). The additive pool is now -30% + 20% = -10%. The hero deals '''90''' damage (100 * 0.90 = 90).
# The hero parries an enemy hero (Multiplicative Amp of '''+25%''' against parried target''')'''. This is applied after the additive pool. The hero now deals '''112.5''' damage (90 * 1.25 = 112.5).

== Damage Reduction ==

'''Damage Reduction''' is a negative form of Damage Amplification, reducing the damage output of enemies or its user. Mechanically, standard Damage Reductions are treated as negative '''Additive Amps''' (see Calculation section).

=== Damage Reduction Stacking ===

Valve's May 22 patch notes state that Damage Reduction debuffs are intended to stack diminishingly (i.e., multiplicatively, in the same manner as Resistance)<ref>{{Update link|May|22|2026}}</ref>.

However, live testing confirms that standard Damage Reduction debuffs have not been fully migrated to this new system. Currently, Damage Reductions (such as {{ItemIcon|Inhibitor}} or {{AbilityIcon|Fire Scarabs}}) simply act as negative Additive Amps. This means they add directly together with other additive amps (positive or negative) rather than multiplying against each other.

==== Spirit Damage Reduction====

Spirit Damage Reduction from {{HeroIcon|Infernus}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Afterburn}} (T2) and {{ItemIcon|Silencer}} does '''not''' behave like standard Damage Reduction. Multiple sources of Spirit‑specific reduction stack additively with each other (e.g., Afterburn T2 + Silencer = sum of percentages). This combined spirit reduction is then applied as a '''separate multiplier''', multiplicative with all other additive amps such as {{ItemIcon|Inhibitor}}.

'''Mina''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''; a glass cannon that delivers quick bursts of [[Spirit damage]] at range with her passive, Love Bites. She can transform into bats and escape when things get a bit too messy. Each time she triggers Love Bites, her vampiric powers grow stronger. This builds toward her ultimate, Nox Nostra, which unleashes a massive swarm of bats that hunt down and silence nearby enemies.

Mina Ha was an ambitious and rich girl betrothed to American royalty, the [[Pocket|eldest heir]] to the [[Fairfax Industries]] fortune. However, her hopes were dashed when her fiancé was [[Calico|assassinated]] prior to the wedding. Her parents, seeking only the best for their daughter, contracted a vampire to turn Mina into a vampire and grant her eternal life. Now learning her new powers and navigating vampire high society, Mina's ambitious eye is set on becoming the next Viscount of New York.

Mina was released on [[Update:August 18, 2025|August 18, 2025]] as the first hero in the [[Update:August 18, 2025|Six New Heroes]] update.

== Trivia ==
* Mina is named after the literary character [[wikipedia:Mina_Harker|Mina Harker]], from Bram Stoker's ''Dracula''. Ironically, in the novel, Mina was stalked by Dracula and never becomes a vampire herself.
* Mina's ultimate Nox Nostra means "Our Night" in Latin.
* Mina is the second hero to use "vampire" as a codename (VampireBat), as there is another hero referenced in the localization files as "hero_vampire", but it has been removed from the game.
* Mina's family is implied to be East Asian, due to the "[[wikipedia:Ha|Ha]]" last name. Her name is also written in Asian localizations as a traditional Asian name, unlike other heroes.
* Mina was one of the heroes in a private build who was accidently leaked on stream in May 2025.<ref>2025-05-01 - atahutahatena on Reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumors - [https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1kclj5p/streamer_accidentally_leaks_hero_roster_of_a_more/ Streamer accidentally leaks hero roster of a more "secret" private Deadlock pre-alpha playtest build]</ref> Mina's model was leaked by an anonymous source along with a WIP version of the shop UI, ahead of the [[Update:May_8,_2025|Shop Rework]] update.
* Mina's pistol New Money has the words "Nuit Rouge 7" ("Red Night 7" in French) inscribed on the side, similar to perfume labels. This does not appear in the weapon art.
* "Grabbing a bite in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Mina in the [[Hideout]].
* Mina holds her pistol in her left hand, like {{HeroIcon|Lady Geist}}. While this is done for gameplay purposes so her umbrella doesn't cover her model, it could also reflect her admiration for Geist.

Steveneven3:

'''Damage Amplification''' or '''Damage Amp''' is a stat that multiplies the damage caused by the player to affected enemies and NPCs.

{{#ev:youtube|apzBQPZyW_w|360|description=Video explaining Damage Amplification}}

== Damage Reduction ==
'''Damage Reduction''' is a negative form of Damage Amplification, reducing the damage output of enemies or its user. Mechanically, standard Damage Reductions are treated as negative '''Additive Amps''' (see Calculation section).

== Calculation ==
Contrary to what the percentages might suggest, multiple sources of damage amplification do not all stack in the same way. There are three distinct categories of Damage Amplification, each interacting with the damage formula differently:

* '''Additive Amps:''' These add together with each other (inculding additive Damage Reductions) into a single pool.
* '''Multiplicative Amps:''' These multiply the total damage one by one.
* '''Instance Amps:''' These are nearly identical to multiplicative amps, main exception being they create a new instance of damage.
=== The Damage Formula ===
Based on testing, the generalized formula for how these amps apply to weapon damage is as follows:

<math>\text{Damage} = [(\text{Base Bullet Damage} \times \text{Weapon Multiplier}) \times (1 + \text{Total Additive Amps}) + \text{Flat Bonus}] \times \text{Multiplicative Amp}_1 \times \text{Multiplicative Amp}_2 \dots \times \text{Instance Amp Damage}_1 \times \text{Instance Amp Damage}_2</math>

'''Example:'''

# A hero has a base bullet damage of '''100''' and '''0''' flat weapon damage for simplicity.
# The hero is affected by {{ItemIcon|Inhibitor}} (an Additive Damage Reduction of '''-35%'''). Their damage drops to '''65''' (100 * 0.65 = 65).
# {{HeroIcon|Ivy}} casts {{AbilityIcon|Air Drop}} on the hero (an Additive Amp of '''+20%'''). The additive pool is now -35% + 20% = -15%. The hero deals '''85''' damage (100 * 0.85 = 85).
# {{HeroIcon|McGinnis}} inflicts the target with {{AbilityIcon|Spectral Wall}} (a Multiplicative Amp of '''+15%'''). This is applied after the additive pool. The hero now deals '''97.75''' damage (85 * 1.15 = 97.75).

=== Damage Reduction Stacking ===
Valve's May 22 patch notes state that Damage Reduction debuffs are intended to stack diminishingly (i.e., multiplicatively, in the same manner as Resistance)<ref>{{Update link|May|22|2026}}</ref>.

However, live testing confirms that standard Damage Reduction debuffs have not been fully migrated to this new system. Currently, Damage Reductions (such as {{ItemIcon|Inhibitor}} or {{AbilityIcon|Fire Scarabs}}) simply act as negative Additive Amps. This means they add directly together with other additive amps (positive or negative) rather than multiplying against each other.

== Bugs, Quirks, and Exceptions ==
* '''Additive Amps''' do not apply to many flat values, such as flat weapon damage bonuses, base damage for Melee abilities (Such as the bonus +60 damage from Calico's //slash ability T3), Capactior active, Backstabber, etc
* '''Headhunter Interaction:''' Multiplicative non-instance amps are the only amps that work correctly with {{ItemIcon|Headhunter}} damage.
* '''Return Fire / Reflection:''' Because Multiplicative Amps act as defensive stats on the target, if an attacker fires at a target with {{ItemIcon|Return Fire}} while the attacker has an M-amp active against them, the attacker will take increased reflected damage.
* '''Barrier Interaction:''' {{HeroIcon|Billy}}'s bullet amp from {{AbilityIcon|Blasted}} is unique as it is a post-mitigation [[True Damage|true damage]] amp. Because of this, it does not work at all against barriers.
* '''Silencer / Infernus Afterburn T2:''' {{ItemIcon|Silencer}} and {{HeroIcon|Infernus}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Afterburn}} Tier 2 Spirit Damage Reduction are exceptions to the standard Damage Reduction rule. They stack additively with themselves, but multiplicatively with other additive amps.
* '''Celeste:''' {{HeroIcon|Celeste}}'s self Spirit damage amp works like a multiplicative amp but is affected by additive amp bugs.

McGinnis

2026-06-24T15:17:50Z

Steveneven3: Removed the redundant tip about close quarters/Point blanc. Turrets don't deal weapon damage so I have no idea what was there. Replaced with what was probably the original tip but better explained: turrets don't factor in weapon fall for the damage dealt TO THEM, also added their innate spirit resist.

}}{{Quotation|2=Time to reshape the battlefield.}}
'''McGinnis''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]].'' The head of [[Fairfax Industries]] Military R&D department, McGinnis has a high opinion of her work which includes her machine gun, automatic numerous Mini Turrets, Spectral Walls, that she can create to protect teammates, hold down positions and trap enemies, Medicinal Specter, which dispenses health to nearby allies, and finally, a devastating spectral Heavy Barrage that can reach even faraway enemies.

A talented engineer who started her career from a young age, Margaret "Maggie" McGinnis isn't fond of theoretical work, thus spending most of her time working in a mechanics shop, often meddling with the supernatural. While the ethics of brainstorming the occult war machine are grey at best, McGinnis isn't that fussed so long as she gets her paycheck.

== Weapon ==

{{WeaponCard|key=hero_forge}}

=== Notes ===
* Services Rendered takes 2 seconds to spin up, increasing McGinnis' fire rate and bullet spread, and slowly winds down at 25% per second (4 seconds total at max spin) as indicated by the grey indicator around the crosshair.
* The DPS and Bullets per second stats listed in game use the max spin up values.
* Services Rendered's base fire rate starts at 5 bullets per second (Cycle time: 0.2) and spins up to 12.5 bullets per second (Cycle time: 0.08), averaging around 11 Bullets per second per clip at the beginning of a match.

* Turrets have {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Mini Turret|DecayingResist}}% damage resist that decays over {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Mini Turret|DecayingResistDuration}}s, and {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Mini Turret|MeleeResist}}% melee resist and {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Mini Turret|TechResist}}% spirit resist that do not decay.
* Turrets deal {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Mini Turret|NonHeroDamagePercentOutgoing}}% damage to [[Trooper]]s and [[Denizen]]s and {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Mini Turret|BossDamagePercentOutgoing}}% damage to Objectives.
* Turret targeting works as follows:
** It will initially target the nearest enemy hero in line of sight when it is placed. If no hero is in sight, it will target the nearest enemy [[unit]].
** It will only switch targets once its initial target dies or leaves sight, or when McGinnis starts shooting a hero in sight, in which case all turrets will attempt to aim at the hero being shot.
** Shooting a unit or hitting an enemy hero with [[melee attack]]s, abilities or items will not change the turret's target.
* Turrets do not factor in damage fall off when you deal damage to them. They will always take the full damage from your bullets when taking damage.
* Turrets yield {{Souls|{{DataProp|Convar|citadel_forge_sentry_gold_reward}}}} souls + {{Souls|{{DataProp|Convar|citadel_forge_sentry_gold_reward_bonus_per_minute}}}} per minute when killed. Part of the bounty can be denied as a [[Soul Orb]].

== Trivia ==
* McGinnis' design is similar to popular depictions of the American World War II cultural icon [[wikipedia:Rosie_the_Riveter|Rosie the Riveter]] - notably the red headband, blue shirt, jeans overalls, red socks and bulky physique.
* In ''[[The Binding of Oathkeeper]]'' artwork, McGinnis has a mermaid tattoo on her left shoulder.
* McGinnis' Heavy Barrage sound effects were changed to sound less like a real air raid siren.
* "Tinkering in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as McGinnis in the [[Hideout]].

Falloff Range

2026-06-17T05:19:19Z

Steveneven3: Added more accurate info for graves, could be checked for grammar but should be mostly fine

'''Falloff Range''' is a [[Stats|stat]] that determines the minimum and maximum distance in which a [[Hero]] can deal [[Weapon Damage]] to a target.

== Overview ==
For most heroes, weapon damage falls off by -90% at maximum range and beyond, following a linear scale from minimum range. See "Base Falloff Range" table below for exceptions.

The following heroes have exceptions to falloff range:

* {{HeroIcon|Apollo}}'s weapon has no damage falloff and deals no damage beyond its max range.
* {{HeroIcon|Bebop}}'s weapon has a separate Max Range stat that increases with [[Boon|Boons]], and deals no damage beyond its max range.
* {{HeroIcon|Drifter}}'s weapon deals no damage beyond its max range.
* {{HeroIcon|Graves}}' has no damage falloff and deals no damage beyond its max range.
** Despite having no damage falloff, the falloff range is factored in when calculating Graves' [[Build-Up]] per bullet, including build-up from {{AbilityIcon|Essence Theft}}
** As an exception, [[Ricochet]]s have damage falloff, calculated based on the distance from the main target to the ricochet'd target.
* {{HeroIcon|Silver (Transformed)}}'s weapon has a fixed range that cannot be increased.

Falloff range can be increased with [[Item|Items]].

=== Explosive bullets ===
Alternate fire weapons with explosive bullets deal 50% damage at maximum explosion radius, multiplied by the regular damage falloff.

== Falloff Range ==
Values referenced from [[Hero Comparison Table]].

Note: {{HeroIcon|Silver (Transformed)}}'s range is incorrect, she can only deal damage at melee range.

Plated Armor

2026-04-28T19:41:06Z

Steveneven3: Updated with most, if not all, missing on-hit effects, based on testing.

{{Infobox item/auto|Plated Armor}}

{{ItemSummary|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}}}

==Notes==
* The chance for '''Deflection''' and ''On-hit Prevention'' is rolled individually, although '''Deflection''' will prevent most effects that ''On-hit prevention'' does. They can both trigger at the same time. This is most evident when testing {{ItemIcon|Headhunter}} against Plated Armor.
* If a bullet is deflected, it will fly off in a different direction, maintaining its damaging capability.

== Interactions ==
* {{ItemIcon|Ricochet}}: Blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''. When blocked, the bullet will never chain, or will be prevented from chaining to any more targets.
* {{ItemIcon|Siphon Bullets}}: Blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''. Even when blocked, Siphon Bullets will still go on cooldown.
* {{ItemIcon|Spirit Shredder Bullets}} / {{ItemIcon|Spirit Rend}}: Blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''.
* {{ItemIcon|Stalker}}: Blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''. Will not go on cooldown when blocked.
* {{ItemIcon|Slowing Bullets}} / {{ItemIcon|Toxic Bullets}} / {{ItemIcon|Silencer}} / {{ItemIcon|Inhibitor}} / {{ItemIcon|Spiritual Overflow}}: Buildup is blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''.
* {{ItemIcon|Haze}} {{AbilityIcon|Fixation}}: Stack buildup blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''.
* {{ItemIcon|Mina}} {{AbilityIcon|Love Bites}}: Buildup and spirit damage on bullet hits are blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''.
* {{HeroIcon|Infernus}} {{AbilityIcon|Afterburn}}: Buildup blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''.
* {{HeroIcon|Seven}} {{AbilityIcon|Power Surge}}: Blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''. The chaining damage is blocked per bullet and the opportunity to apply is not consumed when blocked.
* {{HeroIcon|Holliday}} {{AbilityIcon|Crackshot}}: Blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''. Cooldown is not applied when blocked.
* {{ItemIcon|Graves}} {{AbilityIcon|Essence Theft}}: Blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention.''
* {{ItemIcon|Point Blank}}: Slowing debuff blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''.
* {{ItemIcon|Lucky Shot}}: Blocked by '''Deflection'''.
* {{HeroIcon|Wraith}} {{AbilityIcon|Card Trick}}: Buildup blocked by '''Deflection'''.
* {{ItemIcon|Headshot Booster}} / {{ItemIcon|Headhunter}}: Blocked by ''On-Hit Prevention''. Always go on cooldown, even when blocked.
* {{ItemIcon|Tesla Bullets}} / {{ItemIcon|Capacitor}}: Always applied.

* {{HeroIcon|Paradox}} {{AbilityIcon|Kinetic Carbine}}: Always applied.
* {{HeroIcon|Grey Talon}} {{AbilityIcon|Rain of Arrows}}: '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention'' triggers at once for all arrows. All arrows are deflected as though they are a single shot.
* '''Scatter/Multishot''' weapons ({{HeroIcon|Drifter|icon-only}} {{HeroIcon|Abrams|icon-only}} {{HeroIcon|Calico|icon-only}} {{HeroIcon|Yamato|icon-only}} {{HeroIcon|Mo & Krill|icon-only}} {{HeroIcon|Pocket|icon-only}} {{HeroIcon|Shiv|icon-only}}): '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention'' triggers at once for all pellets. All pellets are deflected as though they are a single shot.
* '''Burst''' weapons ({{HeroIcon|Lash|icon-only}} {{HeroIcon|Paradox|icon-only}} {{HeroIcon|Seven|icon-only}} {{HeroIcon|Sinclair|icon-only}}): Each bullet has '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention'' applied individually.
* {{HeroIcon|Paige}} - [[Paige|Chapter's End]]: When deflected, an extra projectile is created. The original projectile pierces, as normal, and a new projectile is shot out in a random direction.
* {{HeroIcon|Celeste}} - [[Paige|Carny Life]]: When deflected, an extra projectile is created. The original projectile can ricochet, as normal, and a new projectile is shot out in a random direction. The new projectile also ricochets.
* {{HeroIcon|Graves}} - [[Graves|The Teacher]]: When deflected, it does not ricochet, although a visual bug might appear where a bullet projectile is created. This bullet cannot hit enemies.
* {{HeroIcon|Venator}} - {{AbilityIcon|Consecrating Grenade}} and {{AbilityIcon|GutShot}} deal weapon damage but cannot be deflected, {{AbilityIcon|Ira Domini}}'s Weapon damage can be deflected, but not the pure damage.
* {{HeroIcon|Silver}} - {{AbilityIcon|Slam Fire}} bonus current health damage: Always applied.
* {{HeroIcon|Billy}} - {{AbilityIcon|Blasted}} bonus bullet damage amp: Blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''.

* {{HeroIcon|Wraith}} - {{AbilityIcon|Full Auto}} on-hit spirit damage: Always applied.

Falloff Range

2026-04-27T20:22:04Z

Steveneven3: /* Overview */ added max damage dropoff info for drifter

'''Falloff Range''' is a [[Stats|stat]] that determines the minimum and maximum distance in which a [[Hero]] can deal [[Weapon Damage]] to a target.

== Overview ==
The damage falls off from 100% at minimum range to 10% at maximum range and beyond, following a linear scale, with a few exceptions:

* {{HeroIcon|Apollo}}'s weapon has no damage falloff and deals no damage beyond its max range.
* {{HeroIcon|Bebop}} has a separate Max Range stat that increases with [[Boon|Boons]]. Bebop's weapon deals no damage beyond its max range.
* {{HeroIcon|Drifter}}'s weapon deals no damage beyond its max range and drops down to 60% (instead of 10%) of its damage at maximum range.
* {{HeroIcon|Graves}}' weapon has no damage falloff and deals no damage beyond its max range.
* {{HeroIcon|Silver (Transformed)}}'s weapon has a fixed range that cannot be increased.
* {{HeroIcon|Sinclair}}'s weapon drops down to 30% (instead of 10%) of its damage at maximum range and beyond.

Falloff range can be increased with [[Item|Items]].

=== Explosive bullets ===
Alternate fire weapons with explosive bullets deal 50% damage at maximum explosion radius, multiplied by the regular damage falloff.

== Falloff Range ==
Values referenced from [[Hero Attributes Table]].

Note: {{HeroIcon|Silver (Transformed)}}'s range is incorrect, she can only deal damage at melee range.

Abilities

2026-04-25T21:29:45Z

Steveneven3: added missing abilities for melee scaling

An ability is a unique skill of a hero that does damage, grants utility, or both. All heroes have 4 base abilities that are unlocked throughout the early stages of the game using ability unlocks, and upgraded via ability points. Abilities can be either active, passive, or partially passive, and will define how a hero plays, scales, builds and wins using a specific strategy.

== Ability unlocks ==
Abilities are unlocked with [[File:Ability_unlock_icon.png|24x24px]] '''Ability Unlocks''' earned at {{Souls|600}}, {{Souls|1200}}, {{Souls|2100}} and {{Souls|3600}} soul thresholds ([[Boon]] levels 0, 2, 4 and 6). The first 3 non-ultimate abilities can be unlocked in any order, while the ultimate ability can only be unlocked at level 6. Ability unlocks cannot be refunded.

== Ability points ==
[[File:Maximum Charges on Ability Upgrades.png|thumb|{{HeroIcon|Infernus}} {{AbilityIcon|Napalm}} showing the 3 levels of upgrades an ability can have, at 1, 2 and 5 points. (Upgrades may be outdated)]]
{{Ap}} '''Ability Points''' are earned at every [[boon]] that does not give an ability unlock. These are used to upgrade the power of unlocked abilities, granting additional bonuses and better stats. All abilities have 3 tiers for upgrades, costing 1, 2, and 5 points to unlock. Unspent points are shown under the player's ability icons.

The player can refund an upgrade by clicking its slot up to 10 seconds after unlocking it, if they haven't used any abilities in that time window.

All 32 ability points can be earned by leveling up. Additionally, the player can earn 1 point earlier by delivering the [[Soul Urn]].

== Types of abilities ==
Abilities come in three main categories: '''active''', '''passive''', and '''partially passive'''. 

=== Active ===
Active abilities are abilities that are used by pressing the input key, and have a cooldown before they can be used again. An active ability is linked to a hero's power and when it is on cooldown gives a window of opportunity for counterplay (see [[strategy]] for more). Active abilities cannot be used if the player is under the effects of a [[File:Status Stun.png|frameless|20x20px]][[Status Effects|stun]], [[File:Status Silence.png|frameless|20x20px]][[Status Effects|silence]] or [[Status Effects|displacement]]. Active abilities can have a range of properties including being instant, channeled or having charges.

An '''instant''' ability is an ability that can be used only once immediately before being put on cooldown. It is seen as the most basic and straightforward type of abilities. An example of an instant active ability is {{AbilityIcon|Bebop}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Sticky Bomb}}. Some active abilities can be recast during a specific timeframe, such as {{AbilityIcon|Mina}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Sanguine Retreat}}, but will still go on cooldown after the first use while the recast timer is active.

A '''channeled''' ability is an ability that requires channeling it for a duration, indicated by a filled bar slowly diminishing on the characters HUD. The channel can be stopped before the channel duration is complete, and will go on cooldown after it's first press before the channel duration has completed. Channeled abilities often prohibit the player from [[movement]] but this is not a rule. F. ex. {{AbilityIcon|Kelvin}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Arctic Beam}} allows walking around though at a slowed movement speed and crouching, but not [[Dash|dashing]] and [[jumping]] (the jumping key is default the key to cancel channeling). {{AbilityIcon|Seven}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Storm Cloud}} prohibits all movement, unless upgraded to level 3. Channeled abilities can be stopped preemptively by and opponent by using a [[Status Effects|stun]], but a [[silence]] or [[Status_Effects#Displace|displacement]] will not stop an ongoing channeled ability. This does not affect the cooldown of the ability.
[[File:Bonus Ability Charges.png|thumb|An ability with charges, showing 3 ready charges on the left and 4 ready charges on the right.]]
A '''charged''' ability - or, an ability with '''charges''' - is an ability that can be used multiple times in a row, and has a separate cooldown for the time between charges and the time for a charge to be restored. This is indicated by a white bar over the ability icon on the players HUD, and is split by a thin black line for the amount of charges the ability currently possess. A charge that is currently on cooldown is indicated by a gray bar slowly filling up in place of the white bar. Some abilities will also start as instant active, and gain charges with levels.

* The ability needs to be upgraded to T3 before it is considered a charged ability 
** The ability needs to be upgraded to T2 before it is considered a charged ability
=== Passive ===
A passive ability is an ability that is not directly activatable by the player, but by some condition of the game. Passive abilities can not be turned off or deactivated in any way after they have been unlocked. A passive ability can affect either the hero itself, such as {{AbilityIcon|Abrams}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Infernal Resilience}} or an enemy hero such as {{AbilityIcon|Infernus}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Afterburn}}, and heroes with a passive ability will often have this ability as a defining trait signifying how they are played and built.

The passive abilities in Deadlock are:

=== Partial Passive ===
Partial passive abilities are active abilities with passive components or a passive ability with an active trigger (and are therefore affected by silences, stuns, etc). These are:

* {{AbilityIcon|Billy}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Blasted}} which has a passive component of reloading ammo and marking enemies, but can be activated. The passive effect persists through the active cooldown.

* {{AbilityIcon|Mirage}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Djinn's mark}} which can be activated early, but the mark will build and trigger even if silenced.
* {{AbilityIcon|Shiv}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Bloodletting}} has both deferring damage as a passive, and an active to clear said deferred damage.
* {{AbilityIcon|Victor}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Pain Battery}} where the damage storing is handled as a passive, but the actual usage of the ability behaves as an active ability. 

== Ability Scaling and damage ==
Abilities have three ways of being useful: dealing [[File:Spirit icon.png|frameless|20x20px]] [[Spirit Damage|spirit damage]], dealing [[File:Melee damage light.png|frameless|20x20px]] [[Melee Damage|melee damage]] or providing utility.
=== Spirit Damage ===
[[File:Spirit icon.png|frameless|20x20px]]Spirit damage is the main form of ability damage there is in [[Deadlock]], and the vast majority of abilities will deal all or some of its damage as [[File:Spirit icon.png|frameless|20x20px]] spirit damage. This damage is generally split into two parts: the '''base damage''' represented by an integer, and the '''spirit scaling''' '''damage''' represented by a percentage of the heros [[Spirit Power|spirit power]]. The base damage is a base value that can only be changed via leveling up the ability using {{Ap}} '''Ability Points''', the spririt scaling damage can be increased by obtaining more [[File:Spirit icon.png|frameless|20x20px]]spirit power via [[Item|items]], [[Golden Statue|golden statues]], [[Powerup|powerups]] or the [[rejuvenator]]. Please see the page on [[File:Spirit scaling.png|frameless|25x25px]][[Spirit Power#Spirit Power Scaling|spirit power scaling]] for more details.

=== Melee Damage ===
[[File:Melee damage light.png|frameless|20x20px]] '''[[Melee Damage|Melee damage]]''' means that the ability will deal a percentage of the hero's current [[File:Melee damage light.png|frameless|20x20px]] melee damage on contact. This will also apply any effect currently attributed to the melee of the hero, such as {{ItemIcon|Spirit Strike|size=30px}} or {{ItemIcon|Melee Lifesteal|size=30px}}. Conversely, this also means the damage is reduced by a hero's [[Damage Resistance#Melee Resist|melee damage resist]] from items like {{ItemIcon|Close Quarters|size=30px}}. Some heroes can upgrade their abilities to instead apply heavy [[File:Melee damage light.png|frameless|20x20px]] melee damage, and this will apply item effects that benefit from this such as {{ItemIcon|Melee Charge|size=30px}}. This will not, however, work with mechanics needing heavy melee attacks such as a [[Sinner's Sacrifice|sinner's sacrifice]], [[powerup]] or a [[rejuvenator]].

=== Utility ===
Some abilities will have no damage dealt, but will instead provide the hero with some sort of utility to use while playing. This is a wide topic and can be anything from {{AbilityIcon|Calico}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Ava}} providing mobility and eventually [[File:Health regen.png|frameless|20x20px]][[Health Regen|health regeneration]], {{AbilityIcon|Mo & Krill}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Sand Blast}} providing a [[File:Status Disarm.png|frameless|20x20px]]disarm status effect on enemies, and {{AbilityIcon|Paige}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Plot Armor}} providing a barrier and weapon damage.

=== Scaling ===
While most abilities scale on [[File:Spirit icon.png|frameless|20x20px]][[Spirit Power|spirit power]], there are some that have alternate ways of scaling. These are {{AbilityIcon|McGinnis}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Mini Turret}} whose health scales on her own maximum health, and {{AbilityIcon|Paradox}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Kinetic Carbine}} which scales on her [[Weapon Damage|weapon damage]]. These are the only two abilities that scale on something other than spirit power.

A few abilities have no scaling at all, only increasing in power when spending {{Ap}} '''Ability Points''' to upgrade them. This includes {{AbilityIcon|Lash}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Grapple}}, {{AbilityIcon|Mo & Krill}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Sand Blast}} and {{AbilityIcon|Grey Talon}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Rain of Arrows}} & {{AbilityIcon|Spirit Snare}} to name a few.

Some abilities apply their spirit scaling not in increased damage, but in other aspects of how they work. These vary wildly, and include {{AbilityIcon|Lash}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Death Slam}} which increases its throwing range, and {{AbilityIcon|McGinnis}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Medicinal Specter}} which extends its duration.

Deadlock

2026-04-14T23:30:53Z

Steveneven3: Undo revision 64857 by ~2026-RegenStrikeBurst25 (talk)

[[File:Deadlock Logo.png|thumb|242x242px|''Deadlock'''s logo.]]
'''''Deadlock''''' is a 6v6 third-person shooter MOBA developed by [[wikipedia:Valve_Corporation|Valve Corporation]].<ref>[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1422450/Deadlock/ Deadlock] on Steam</ref> It was first publicly announced on August 23, 2024.<ref name=":1" /> The official website is https://www.playdeadlock.com/. The game's release was unconventional and marked by a deliberate approach of secrecy before public acknowledgement. The game can only be played by receiving an [[Deadlock#Invites|invite]] from a Steam friend who already has the game. The game is still in development and is played through a Closed Beta<ref>Listed as ''"Deadlock - Closed Beta Access"'' under Steam user licenses</ref> [[Early Development Build]].<ref name=":1">2024-08-26 - Paul Tassi on Forbes - [https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2024/08/26/valves-deadlock-instantly-rockets-to-90000-players-after-official-announcement/ Valve’s Deadlock Instantly Rockets To 90,000 Players After Official Announcement]</ref>

== Gameplay ==
''Main article: [[Mechanics]]''

In ''Deadlock'', two [[teams]] of 6 players, [[The Hidden King]] and [[The Archmother]], battle through 3 lanes of [[New York]]. Each team fights on behalf of a god, called a [[Patron]]. The objective is to destroy the enemy's Patron while defending your own to complete the ritual. Players control [[Heroes]] with upgradable abilities, and items are bought using [[souls]]. Souls are earned by defeating enemies and completing tasks. They can also unlock 'boons' from Patrons, which boost Hero stats.

Heroes level up, unlock abilities, and equip [[Weapon]], [[Vitality]], and [[Spirit]] items in slots. Additional [[Flex]] slots are unlocked by completing objectives.

The game blends elements of shooters and MOBAs. It focuses on tactics, teamwork, and strategy, with third-person skill shots, movement, and gunplay. It also has a unique [[Ziplines|zipline]] system for long-distance transportation.

In addition to the standard gamemode, Deadlock also offers a 4v4 roguelike gamemode called [[Street Brawl]], where players fight in one lane over short rounds.

== Setting & Theme ==
''Main article: [[Lore]]''

In the world of ''Deadlock,'' [[wikipedia:Occult|occult]] rituals and magic anomalies are part of everyday life. The game takes place in an alternate version of early 20th century New York called [[The Cursed Apple]]. Two covenants battle to complete the [[Ritual]] and summon their [[Patron]], a god capable of granting wishes. Each character has their own wishes and reason for wanting to summon the Patron, and their fates collide on the streets of New York. The game's setting is an [[wikipedia:Urban_fantasy|urban fantasy]] with strong occult themes and elements of [[wikipedia:Noir_fiction|noir]], [[wikipedia:Gothic_fiction|gothic]], and [[wikipedia:Dieselpunk|dieselpunk]] fiction.

== Development ==
''Deadlock'' was originally meant to be a sci-fi third-person MOBA called ''[[Neon Prime]].'' It was also known as ''[[Citadel]],'' ''Project8'' and ''[[Shadowline]]'' at various points in its early development. Valve trademarked ''Neon Prime'' in October 2022,<ref>[https://uspto.report/TM/97625453 ''Neon Prime'' trademark] on USPTO.report</ref> but the game was renamed to ''Deadlock'' later that year''.''

The currently ongoing ''Deadlock'' closed playtest began on April 2024,<ref>2024-04-16 - [[Yoshi]]; Deadlock Forums - [https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/early-development-build-privacy.2/ Early Development Build Privacy]</ref> when the official forums and Discord server were created, and the name was trademarked by Valve on May 2024.<ref>[https://uspto.report/TM/98576353 ''Deadlock'' trademark] on USPTO.report</ref> The game was leaked on various occasions from 2019 to 2024, and Valve listed the game on Steam in August 2024.

While ''Deadlock'' hasn't been officially mentioned or promoted by Valve beyond its Steam page, various Valve employees, contractors and voice actors have acknowledged their work on the game on social media, and it was mentioned in the ''Half-Life 2'' anniversary documentary on November 2024.<ref>{{YouTubeCite|video=YCjNT9qGjh4&t=7135s|title=Half-Life 2: 20th Anniversary Documentary (1:58:55)}}</ref>

Superior Duration

2026-04-10T22:07:03Z

Steveneven3: Note is pretty irrelevant, the items just don't function based on duration (it's not health per second, it's total health amount), the list of exceptions for ability duration is much larger anyway, consisting of mostly effects that don't benefit from more duration)

Rescue Beam

2026-04-10T22:06:02Z

Steveneven3: It's not really a bug, the item just doesn't function based on duration (it's not health per second, it's total health amount)

{{Infobox item/auto|Rescue Beam| sound1 = rescue beam cast 01.mp3 | sound2 = rescue beam heal 01.mp3 | sound3 = rescue beam pull 01.mp3}}

{{ItemSummary|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}}}

== Movement ==
At any range, Rescue Beam will fully pull your target towards you in one second.

The speed that Rescue Beam pulls targets is typically fastest at the start. The peak speed is also dependent on distance between the target and the caster. At the max range of 34 meters, the peak speed is ~1700 u/s. The target will decelerate in speed until next to the caster.

== Notes ==
* If self-cast, the item holder cannot pull themselves, and only one of two heals will be received.
* Rescue Beam is a channel, and can be cancelled by [[Crowd Control#Stun|Stun]] and [[Interrupt]] if used on the caster, ending the heal and preventing the use of the pull. Targets already being pulled will continue to be pulled.
** [[Silence]] does not interrupt Rescue Beam, as it has no effect on items or channels.
* Allies will be moved to the current location of the item holder over the duration of the pull, not where the pull was activated.

== Trivia ==
* In certain locations around the [[Map]], Rescue Beam has its own promotional poster.

'''Grey Talon''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He is a clever, long-range combatant that uses his powerful bow in combination with traps and mystical flight to pin down and destroy his foes. With the ability to charge his arrow shot for powerful effect, Grey Talon can harry his foes at a distance before launching a guided Spirit Owl to finish them off.

A founder of the monster hunting organisation [[The Baxter Society]], Grey Talon happily retired after 40 years of service to support his extended family. He was living well until he was alerted that that his son and daughter-in-law had died in a mysterious house fire. Now, he hunts the [[Friends of Humanity|perpetrators]] of the arson, bow in hand.

== Abilities ==
{{Ability tabs
| name=Grey Talon
| ability1_notes=
* Charged Shot can be held indefinitely.
| ability2_notes=
* Rain of Arrows works with {{ItemIcon|Split Shot}}, allowing Grey Talon to shoot 25 arrows.
| ability4_notes =
* To get a "Spirit Power Per Kill" [[stack]], the enemy has to die within 4s after getting hit.
* If Grey Talon dies while controlling the owl, it will automatically detonate.
* The owl can enter [[Vent]]s, if entering at an aligned horizontal direction.

Grey Talon's motivation in the ritual is to bring retribution to the [[Friends of Humanity]], an extremist neopolitical group who he believes are behind the murder of his family.<ref>{{PageRef|name=Grey Talon}}'s in-game [[Grey Talon/Quotes#Killstreak|voice line]] (high killstreak): ''"The death I bring today is nothing compared to what lies in store for Hathorne!"''</ref><ref name=":2">[[Grey Talon/Quotes#Conversations|Grey Talon and Mo & Krill conversation 1]] - {{PageRef|name=Mo & Krill|alt_name=Krill}}: ''"You're the man making life hell for the Friends of Humanity, yes?"'' - {{PageRef|name=Grey Talon}}: ''"I am." -'' {{PageRef|name=Mo & Krill|alt_name=Krill}}: ''"Thank you."''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Archmother}}'s in-game [[Grey Talon/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (Grey Talon start): ''"Hathorne's disciples will answer for their crimes.

[[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]], as well as '''{{Items count|Street Brawl}}''' Legendary items available only in the [[Street Brawl]] mode. Every item also has an "Enhanced" variant in Street Brawl.

Heroes start with nine item slots in their inventory which can hold an item of any type. Additionally, there are three [[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.

At {{Souls|4,800}}, the player gains a significant investment bonus.

Plated Armor

Steveneven3:

{{Infobox item/auto|Plated Armor}}

{{ItemSummary|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}}}

==Notes==
* The chance for '''Deflection''' and ''On-hit Prevention'' is rolled individually, although '''Deflection''' will prevent most effects that ''On-hit prevention'' does. They can both trigger at the same time. This is most evident when testing {{ItemIcon|Headhunter}} against Plated Armor.
* If a bullet is deflected, it will fly off in a different direction, maintaining its damaging capability.

== Interactions ==
* {{ItemIcon|Ricochet}}: Blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''. When blocked, the bullet will never chain, or will be prevented from chaining to any more targets.
* {{ItemIcon|Siphon Bullets}}: Blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''. Even when blocked, Siphon Bullets will still go on cooldown.
* {{ItemIcon|Spirit Shredder Bullets}} / {{ItemIcon|Spirit Rend}}: Blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''.
* {{ItemIcon|Stalker}}: Blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''. Will not go on cooldown when blocked.
* {{ItemIcon|Slowing Bullets}} / {{ItemIcon|Toxic Bullets}} / {{ItemIcon|Silencer}} / {{ItemIcon|Inhibitor}} / {{ItemIcon|Spiritual Overflow}}: Buildup is blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''.
* {{ItemIcon|Haze}} {{AbilityIcon|Fixation}}: Stack buildup blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''.
* {{ItemIcon|Mina}} {{AbilityIcon|Love Bites}}: Buildup and spirit damage on bullet hits are blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''.
* {{HeroIcon|Infernus}} {{AbilityIcon|Afterburn}}: Buildup blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''.
* {{HeroIcon|Seven}} {{AbilityIcon|Power Surge}}: Blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''. The chaining damage is blocked per bullet and the opportunity to apply is not consumed when blocked.
* {{HeroIcon|Holliday}} {{AbilityIcon|Crackshot}}: Blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''. Cooldown is not applied when blocked.
* {{ItemIcon|Point Blank}}: Slowing debuff blocked by both '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention''.
* {{ItemIcon|Lucky Shot}}: Blocked by '''Deflection'''.
* {{HeroIcon|Wraith}} {{AbilityIcon|Card Trick}}: Buildup blocked by '''Deflection'''.
* {{ItemIcon|Headshot Booster}} / {{ItemIcon|Headhunter}}: Blocked by ''On-Hit Prevention''. Always go on cooldown, even when blocked.
* {{ItemIcon|Tesla Bullets}} / {{ItemIcon|Capacitor}}: Always applied.
* {{ItemIcon|Mercurial Magnum}}: Always applied.
* {{ItemIcon|Hollow Point}}: Always applied.
* {{ItemIcon|Crippling Headshot}} / {{ItemIcon|Weakening Headshot}}: Always applied.
* {{ItemIcon|Split Shot}}: Blocked by '''Deflection'''.
* {{ItemIcon|Escalating Resilience}}: Always applied.
* {{ItemIcon|Mystic Shot}}: Always applied.
* {{ItemIcon|Restorative Shot}}: Always applied.
* {{ItemIcon|Burst Fire}}: Always applied.
* {{HeroIcon|Mirage}} {{AbilityIcon|Djinn's Mark}}: Always applied.
* {{HeroIcon|Paradox}} {{AbilityIcon|Kinetic Carbine}}: Always applied.
* {{HeroIcon|Grey Talon}} {{AbilityIcon|Rain of Arrows}}: '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention'' triggers at once for all arrows. All arrows are deflected as though they are a single shot.
* '''Scatter/Multishot''' weapons ({{HeroIcon|Drifter|icon-only}} {{HeroIcon|Abrams|icon-only}} {{HeroIcon|Calico|icon-only}} {{HeroIcon|Yamato|icon-only}} {{HeroIcon|Mo & Krill|icon-only}} {{HeroIcon|Pocket|icon-only}} {{HeroIcon|Shiv|icon-only}}): '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention'' triggers at once for all pellets. All pellets are deflected as though they are a single shot.
* '''Burst''' weapons ({{HeroIcon|Lash|icon-only}} {{HeroIcon|Paradox|icon-only}} {{HeroIcon|Seven|icon-only}} {{HeroIcon|Sinclair|icon-only}}): Each bullet has '''Deflection''' and ''On-Hit Prevention'' applied individually.
* {{HeroIcon|Paige}} - [[Paige|Chapter's End]]: When deflected, an extra projectile is created. The original projectile pierces, as normal, and a new projectile is shot out in a random direction.

*{{ItemIcon|Armor Piercing Rounds}} counters {{ItemIcon|Plated Armor}}, causing bullets to hit and apply their effects. Since both items are chance based, Plated armor may still block bullets when Armor Piercing Rounds does not trigger.

Note: Anything missing from this list has not been tested, and, therefore, may, or may not, be affected by Plated Armor

Steveneven3: This has now been fixed, praise Yoshi

{{Infobox item/auto|Spirit Rend}}

{{ItemSummary|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}}}

== Notes ==
* All stacks are refreshed with each new stack.
* Spirit Rend's second passive's resist reduction stacks additively with each stack, however, the final sum stacks multiplicatively with the base resist reduction from the first passive.
* Getting a headshot with {{ItemIcon|Ricochet}} will not apply stacks to the secondary targets, but will still apply the non-stacking debuff.

Siphon Bullets

2026-03-10T22:29:48Z

Steveneven3: Updated to latest hotfix

{{Infobox item/auto|Siphon Bullets}}

{{ItemSummary|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}}}

== Notes ==
Shooting an enemy hero deals {{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}|HealthStealPctHero}}% max HP damage and applies the ''Siphon Bullets'' debuff, which reduces the target's max HP by the amount of damage dealt, and increases the user's max HP while healing them by the same amount.
The max HP steal lasts for {{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}|StealDuration}} seconds (affected by [[Debuff Resist]]), refreshes on subsequent applications, and stacks infinitely. Stealing max HP from an enemy places the effect on a {{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}|ProcCooldown}}s cooldown (affected by [[Cooldown Reduction|Item Cooldown Reduction]]).

Each application will always steal {{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}|HealthStealPctHero}}% max HP from afflicted targets, but the flat damage dealt may interact with certain passives.

* The damage dealt by Siphon Bullets cannot be increased or decreased by Bullet Resist, Spirit Resist, or damage amplification ({{HeroIcon|Pocket}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Barrage}} or [[Escalating Exposure]]).
* {{HeroIcon|Shiv}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Bloodletting}} passive will reduce the flat damage dealt by Siphon Bullets, but Shiv will still lose {{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}|HealthStealPctHero}}% max HP per application.
* The damage dealt by Siphon Bullets will still trigger Abram's regeneration passive
* The damage dealt by Siphon Bullets does not proc item effects.
* Siphon Bullets does not trigger if the initial bullet deals 0 damage.
* Siphon Bullets can not be applied on multiple targets by {{ItemIcon|Ricochet}} due to its {{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}|ProcCooldown}}s cooldown, only the initial target will receive the debuff.
* Due to the max HP steal being based on the ''current'' max HP, which decreases after each proc, the damage dealt decays exponentially, meaning subsequent applications deal less damage.
* Siphon Bullets' current and max HP increase for its user can proc [[Healing Tempo]], but is not affected by healing reduction.

For each instance of max HP steal on an enemy, the user gains the same amount of max HP, equal to the stolen health. When an enemy has their max HP steal duration refreshed, the whole amount of max HP that was gained from that enemy also has its duration refreshed. If max HP has been gained from multiple enemies, refreshing the steal duration on one enemy will only refresh the duration of all max HP gained from that specific target, and the buff indicator will show the duration of the instance with the least time left.

* If an enemies steal duration expires, the enemy is healed by the same amount of the regained max HP.
* Stolen max HP can be regained by debuff removal, but this does not remove the gained max HP from the owner of Siphon Bullets.
* Selling Siphon Bullets does not remove the max HP steal from affected enemies.

Health gained from Siphon Bullets is visible on the user's healthbar to allies and enemies.

McGinnis

2026-03-09T18:17:33Z

Steveneven3: Undo revision 62095 by 64.109.250.98 (talk) this note is not needed since you can just click on the T3 upgrade on the wiki now to see the updated scaling

{{HeroTabs}}
{{Infobox hero
| key = hero_forge
| voice_actor = Bennett Abara
| release_date = April 24, 2024
| codenames = Forge; Engineer
| bullets_per_sec = {{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|{{#var:hero_key_or_en}}|RoundsPerSecondAtMaxSpin|3}}

'''McGinnis''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]].'' She wields a machine gun and her abilities revolve around the usage of structures like turrets and walls, which she can create to support allies and hold down positions to the benefit of her team. If the situation goes awry, she can launch a powerful barrage of rockets at her enemies.

A talented engineer who started her career from a young age, McGinnis isn't fond of theoretical work, thus spending most of her time working in a mechanics shop, often meddling with the supernatural. While the ethics of brainstorming the occult war machine are grey at best, McGinnis isn't that fussed so long as she gets her paycheck.

== Abilities ==

{{Ability tabs
| name=McGinnis
| ability1_notes=
* Turrets have {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Mini Turret|MeleeResist}}% melee resist.
* Turrets deal {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Mini Turret|NonHeroDamagePercentOutgoing}}% damage to [[Trooper]]s and [[Denizen]]s, deal {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Mini Turret|BossDamagePercentOutgoing}}% damage to Objectives, and receive {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Mini Turret|BossDamagePercentIncoming}}% damage from Objectives.
* Turret targeting works as follows:
** It will initially target the nearest enemy hero in line of sight when it is placed. If no hero is in sight, it will target the nearest enemy [[unit]].
** It will only switch targets once its initial target dies or leaves sight, or when McGinnis starts shooting a hero in sight, in which case all turrets will attempt to aim at the hero being shot.
** Shooting a unit or hitting an enemy hero with [[melee attack]]s, abilities or items will not change the turret's target.
* Turrets are not affected by weapon damage falloff/ramp up, thus normal falloff and the damage bonuses from {{ItemIcon|Close Quarters}}, {{ItemIcon|Point Blank}} and their upgrades do not apply.
| ability2_notes=
* The healing and fire rate bonuses '''do not stack''' when multiple Specters cover the same area.
* All of Specter's buffs (including augments from items like {{ItemIcon|Healing Tempo}}) will linger for 1 second after stepping outside of it's AoE. The linger effect will extinguish alongside Specter if the latter's duration ends before 1 second.
| ability3_notes=
* Spectral wall has a set time of 1.8 seconds to reach it's max range, with its base speed being 27.8m/s. Thus, the speed of the wall increases proportionally to an increase of its range with items like {{ItemIcon|Mystic Expansion}} or {{ItemIcon|Arcane Surge}}.
* Individual segments of the wall can be destroyed by 2 [[heavy Melee]]s.
* The T3 turrets are deployed on the side of the wall facing McGinnis.
| ability4_notes=
* Deals 50% damage to objectives.
* The slow applied to McGinnis can be reduced by Movement Slow Resist items such as {{ItemIcon|Enduring Speed}} and can also be cleansed for the duration of {{ItemIcon|Unstoppable}}.
* Her base speed (6.8m/s) is reduced by 38.2% to 4.2m/s, at 10m/s her speed will be reduced by 43% to 5.7m/s.
}}

== Weapon ==
{{WeaponCard|key=hero_forge}}

=== Notes ===
* Services Rendered takes 2 seconds to spin up, increasing McGinnis' fire rate and bullet spread, and slowly winds down at 25% per second (4 seconds total at max spin) as indicated by the grey indicator around the crosshair.
* The DPS and Bullets per second stats listed in game use the max spin up values.
* Services Rendered's base fire rate starts at 5 bullets per second (Cycle time: 0.2) and spins up to 12.5 bullets per second (Cycle time: 0.08), averaging around 11 Bullets per second per clip at the beginning of a match.

Soul Urn

Steveneven3: /* Carrying the soul urn */

[[File:Soul Urn Render.png|right|frameless|278x278px]]{{Quotation|Soul Urn|You'd think people would be more excited about a jar of souls!}}
The '''Soul Urn''', also known as '''Spirit Urn, Soul Jar''' or '''Spirit Jar''', is an objective that spawns at the 10-minute mark and respawns in 5-minute intervals.

Players can pick up the urn and deliver it to its destination on the opposite side of the map. Doing so grants the delivering team [[souls#Soul Orbs|Soul Orbs]], a [[Golden statue]] buff, and additional souls for the courier.

[[File:Soul Urn.png|thumb|Soul Urn icon]]

== Carrying the soul urn ==
After 10 minutes, the Soul Urn spawns in one of two locations in the outermost lanes: beside the overhanging bridge at York Street (Yellow Lane) or beside the bridge at Park Avenue (Green Lane). The urn always spawns first on Yellow Lane at 10 minutes and alternates lanes every 5 minutes. It descends from the sky for 12 seconds before it can be picked up. A player can grab the landed urn by standing near it for 2 seconds. Being [[Melee Attack|melee]]'d or [[Stun|stunned]] while picking up the urn resets its channel time, and the player cannot [[parry]] while picking it up.

While carrying the urn, the courier is affected in several ways:
* They get a [[Move Speed]] bonus of +3.5 m/s (capped at 15 m/s max), they get their [[Sprint Speed]] disabled and they have 100% [[Slow Resistance]] and 30% [[Damage Resistance|Bullet]] and [[Damage Resistance|Spirit Resist]].
* They are [[Status Effects#Disarmed|disarmed]], [[Status Effects#Silence|silenced]], and cannot use active items.
** Channeled abilities and items started before picking up the urn, like {{HeroIcon|Ivy}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Air Drop}}, {{HeroIcon|Viscous}}' {{AbilityIcon|Goo Ball}} and {{ItemIcon|Magic Carpet}}, are not interrupted. Abilities can still be activated for about half a second while picking up urn.
* They are revealed to the enemy team on the [[Minimap]].
* They cannot use [[Ziplines]] or [[Teleporter]]s.
* Going through {{HeroIcon|The Doorman|l1=the Doorman}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Doorway|l1=Doors}} drops the urn at the entrance door.
* {{HeroIcon|Rem|l1=Rem}} and {{HeroIcon|Calico|l1=Calico}} (during {{AbilityIcon|Ava|Ava}}) cannot enter [[vent]]s.

The courier can drop the urn at any time by pressing their [[parry]] key. A [[Melee Attack|melee attack]] (light or heavy) or any [[Status_Effects|stun]] from an enemy (including [[Trooper]]s) will also force the courier to drop it. If the urn is left on the ground for too long, it will walk back to its spawn point.

'''Note:''' The Soul Urn's soul value is determined at the moment it spawns (e.g., 10:00, 15:00). Holding onto the urn for longer durations does not increase its value.

=== Drop-off location ===
[[File:Soul Urn favored.png|thumb|159x159px|Green candles indicating favored drop-off on the player's side]]
The drop-off point is on the opposite side of the map, marked by a Soul Urn outline icon on the Minimap and colored red if an enemy player is currently carrying the urn. The urn is instantly turned in when the courier steps onto the drop-off (being in the air doesn't count).

If a team is behind by a certain soul threshold (15% for the first urn, 10% after), the drop-off point moves closer to their side. This "favored" status is indicated by four floating green candles around the urn, and a green arrow over the urn pointing to the favored side in the minimap. For the leading team (drop-off on the enemy's side), the candles and minimap arrow are red.

The drop-off location is determined when an urn is first picked up by any player. Once determined, the drop-off point is fixed until the next urn spawn, even if the urn walks back to its spawn or the team soul difference changes.

=== Anti-stalling mechanics ===
To prevent one team from holding the urn for too long without delivering it, the urn begins to damage its courier for 1.5% of their max health per second and disables their [[Health Regen]] after carrying it for 45 seconds. Furthermore, if the urn is dropped after that point the courier's entire team is prevented from picking up the urn again for 12 seconds. The 45-second timer pauses if the urn is dropped and resets if the enemy team picks it up.

== Soul urn reward ==
The Soul Urn's base soul bounty is '''1300 Souls''' and increases by '''230 Souls per minute''' of game time. This value is "locked in" at the minute the Urn spawns.

* '''10-minute Urn:''' 3,600 Souls
* '''20-minute Urn:''' 5,900 Souls
* '''30-minute Urn:''' 8,200 Souls

When a team successfully turns in the Soul Urn:
* A random '''Golden Statue buff''' is granted to each member of the capturing team.
* 50% of the base value is distributed '''instantly and equally''' to all team members.
* 50% of the base value is spawned as contestable '''Soul Orbs'''.

=== Courier's bonus ===
The courier receives a personal bonus equal to '''35% of their total share''' (Base Share + Comeback Bonus). This bonus is awarded '''instantly''' upon delivery and cannot be denied by the enemy team. They also get 4 random [[Golden Statue]] buffs.

=== The comeback mechanic ===
{{Correction|The math for comeback bounty may be inaccurate and needs more testing}}
If the capturing team is behind by '''10% or more''' (15% for the first urn), the Urn becomes a Comeback Urn. This adds a '''Comeback Bonus''' to the reward:
* '''Bonus Calculation:''' The bonus scales based on game time and the team's soul deficit. It uses a growth rate of '''130 Souls per minute'''.
* '''Approximate Formula:''' Individual Bonus = 130 × Minutes × Deficit %
* '''Safe Payout:''' The entire Comeback Bonus is added to the '''Instant Soul''' pool.
* '''Orbs:''' The contestable Soul Orbs '''do not increase''' during a comeback; they remain fixed at 50% of the original base share.

'''Note:''' The first 3,000 souls of net worth difference are generally ignored when calculating the deficit, which may slightly dampen the bonus for smaller leads.

== Reward scenarios ==
The following examples use the '''10-minute Soul Urn''' (Base Value: 3,600 Souls).

=== Scenario 1: Standard delivery (Team is winning or even) ===
* '''Individual Base Share:''' 600 Souls (3,600 ÷ 6)
* '''Orbs per player:''' 300 Souls (50% of share, deniable)
* '''Instant per player:''' 300 Souls (50% of share, guaranteed)

# '''Each Teammate receives:''' 600 Souls total (300 instant + 300 from orbs)
# '''The Courier receives:''' 810 Souls total (300 instant + 300 orbs + 210 courier bonus)
#* The courier's 35% bonus is: 600 × 0.35 = 210 souls.

=== Scenario 2: Comeback delivery (30% deficit) ===
* '''Individual Base Share:''' 600 Souls
* '''Comeback Bonus per player:''' 130 × 10 × 0.30 = 390 Souls
* '''Total Individual Share:''' 990 Souls (600 base + 390 bonus)

# '''Each Teammate receives:''' 990 Souls total (690 instant + 300 from orbs)
#* Instant souls include 300 (base) + 390 (comeback).
# '''The Courier receives:''' 1,337 Souls total (1,037 instant + 300 orbs)
#* Courier bonus is: 990 × 0.35 = 346.5 souls.
#* Instant souls include 300 (base) + 390 (comeback) + 346.5 (bonus).

[[Trapper]] builds Soul Urns for the New York Municipal Coven.<ref>{{BackgroundCite|name=Trapper|quote=An employee of the New York Municipal Coven; Trapper spends his days building Spirit Urns, luring giant rats, and capturing various invasive species from The Outer Planes.}}</ref>

The Urn is sentient and says its job is to keep New York clean by capturing rogue spirits, which should then be released in another location.

The Urn nags heroes to be delivered quickly and believes its work is underappreciated.

== Trivia ==
* In [[Neon Prime|''Neon Prime'']], the Urn was called the '''Idol''' and dropped off at the Center Temple, a location above the [[Mid-Boss]].

'''Haze''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. She works as a secret agent in the Sandman Division of [[OSIC]], fighting as a devastating assassin character with a specialty in isolating and eliminating her foes. Her Smoke Bomb lets her sneak up on enemies before knocking them out with a Sleep Dagger and unleashing a hail of gunfire at close range. In desperate situations, Haze can enter her Bullet Dance to avoid return fire while dispatching her remaining targets.

In her position at the Occult Security and Investigation Commission, Haze is regularly tasked with infiltrating the dreams of "Persons of Interest" to determine the threat they pose to the United States. If needed, she will be called upon to terminate those targets that are deemed too dangerous to be left alive.

'''Spirit Rend''' is a Tier {{#invoke:ItemData|get_prop|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}|Tier}} {{#invoke:ItemData|get_type|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}}} [[Item]] that grants [[Bonus Health]], while also carrying over the [[Spirit Resist]] debuff and [[Spirit Lifesteal]] against enemies granted by {{ItemIcon|Spirit Shredder Bullets}}.

Additionally, headshots landed on enemy heroes apply up to 4 [[stack]]s of a [[Spirit Resist]] debuff on top of the previous debuff. Each target has its own cooldown, which is only applied if a stack is successfully applied. All stacks are refreshed with each new stack. Getting a headshot with {{ItemIcon|Ricochet}} will not apply stacks to the secondary targets, but will still apply the non-stacking debuff.

{{ItemSummary|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}}}

== Notes ==
* Spirit Rend<nowiki/>'s description says it gives -8% resist and -7% resist on headshot, however the actual values are both -7%.
* Spirit Rend's second passive's resist reduction stacks additively with each stack, however, the final sum stacks multiplicatively with the base resist reduction from the first passive.

{{Plink|Damage per second|pic=Damage|size=32}}, or '''DPS''', is a function of a hero's [[Bullet Damage]] and [[Fire Rate]]. It refers to the amount of damage per second the hero's weapons will deal if continuously fired, and is calcuated by the amount of bullets shot per second multiplied by the bullet damage.

'''Celeste''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. It's not every day that Coney Island's biggest star, The Dazzling Celeste, performs on the streets of Manhattan. Her show begins with Light Eater, where a deep breath lit by her blazing baton coats enemies in front of her, and grants increased damage against them. Following that up, she envelops herself in the prismatic shield of her Dazzling Trick, which explodes and silences nearby enemies who break it. Try not to get distracted by her gliding gracefully through the air, or by the dance of her Radiant Daggers, as you'll regret being underneath them when they rain down from above. As for her memorable final act, the Shining Wonder will make her allies go OOH and her foes go AGGHHH!

Celeste was released on [[Update:February 9, 2026|February 9, 2026]] as the fifth winner of the [[Old Gods, New Blood]] update contest.

== Innate ==
Celeste has a passive that alters her aerial movement:
* '''-20%''' Gravity Scale
* '''+50%''' Air Control
* '''+18%''' Air Acceleration

== Abilities ==

{{WeaponCard|key=hero_unicorn|no_falloff=true}}Carny Life's projectile flies in an arc and bounces on the first surface it hits. If there's an enemy in range at a narrow angle (~45º) from the shot, the projectile flies in their direction. If shot directly at an enemy, the projectile can ricochet to a second enemy at close distance and aligned at a narrow angle. It has no damage falloff.

Celeste cannot buy {{ItemIcon|Split Shot}}.

Neon Prime

Steveneven3: Undo revision 60440 by 185.195.232.165 (talk) "Became" is correct here, "stayed as" not really

{{Removed content}}[[File:Neon Prime screenshot 01.jpg|alt=Screenshot of Neon Prime. Bebop overlooks the city of Fracture.|thumb|Neon Prime screenshot]]
'''''Neon Prime''''' was an early development version of ''[[Deadlock]].'' It was created after ''[[Citadel]].''

The game was cancelled late in development and reworked into ''[[Shadowline]]'' and later ''Deadlock'', due to negative feedback from playtesters regarding its art style and setting. ''Neon Prime'' reportedly had issues of poor visibility due to the heavy use of neon lights in VFX and models.<ref>{{YouTubeCite|OJ-fXZtrS-4|Valve's Playtesters Hated This Game (and it got canceled...)}}</ref>

Many of ''Deadlock's'' current features and assets have been inherited from ''Neon Prime'', and are expected to be updated or replaced over the course of development.

[[File:Neon Prime Mods.jpg|thumb|Neon Prime Mods (items) menu]]
[[File:Neon Prime HUD.png|thumb|Early HUD]]
== Setting ==
''Main article: [[Neon Prime lore]]''

''Neon Prime'' had a Cyberpunk sci-fi aesthetic featuring supernatural elements.

The game took place in an alien world called Fracture, a former prison planet that was taken over by inmates and turned into a tourism hotspot where crime is legal. The game matches were elections in the form of organized bloodsports in the city center, in which each team represented a mayor candidate.

The gameplay of ''Neon Prime'' was similar to ''Deadlock.'' 6 players on each side would use [[ziplines]] (then called ''hyperlines'') to traverse 4 lanes and fight [[Guardian|guardians]] and [[Walker|walkers]] to destroy an enemy boss called the [[Patron|Titan]]. The players would unlock ''tech'' (abilities) and use coins to buy [[Item|items]], called ''mods.'' In ''Neon Prime,'' the players had 6 item slots for each category instead of 8 universal slots.

A notable difference is that ''Neon Prime'' had a 3-hit combo melee system, instead of ''Deadlock's'' light and heavy melee.

There were two major versions of the Neon Prime map. V1 was developed around 2021 and was set during daylight. V2 was developed around 2022 and was set during night time.

Killing the [[Mid-Boss|midboss]] gave you the ability to immediately respawn after the player's [[death]], as can be heard in the unused tutorial voice line from the Deadlock files.

Pure Damage

2026-02-16T04:04:29Z

Steveneven3:

[[File:True damage.png|thumb|235x235px|Pure Damage from Venator's Ira Domini (grey bar only)]]
'''Pure Damage''' is a damage type from [[Ability|Abilities]] and [[Item|Items]] that isn't considered [[Spirit Damage|Spirit]] or [[Weapon Damage]], and thus cannot be mitigated by [[Damage Resistance]] or [[Damage Barrier|Barriers]].

Pure Damage appears as white numbers, and a grey bar in the damage report tab.

Some items can function similarly to Pure Damage by bypassing mitigation of their damage type.

Some abilities or items show as Pure Damage (white numbers), however they are a post damage mitigation [[Damage Amplification|damage amp]], therefore the damage is already reduced once.

Damage Resistance

2026-02-15T07:03:45Z

Steveneven3: I dont know how to automate silver's Headshot resistance while in werewolf form.

'''Damage Resistance''' refers to the Bullet, Melee, and Spirit Resist statistics which reduce incoming damage taken. Bullet Resist reduces all weapon and melee damage, Melee Resist reduces only melee damage, while Spirit Resist reduces all spirit damage. [[Unit]]s have a unique "Damage Resistance" stat that is applied to all sources of damage, including [[Trooper]]s.

Most resistances stack diminishingly, with each additional resistance source having reduced effect. Resistance Reduction is applied to the final resistance, and is stacked separately and diminishingly.

The Bullet Resistance and Spirit Resistance stats are also sometimes referred to as "Bullet Armor" and "Spirit Armor".

== Starting Damage Resistance ==
Most [[Hero|Heroes]] have no starting damage resistance. However, there are a few exceptions:

=== Bullet Damage Resistance ===

* {{PageRef|name=Celeste}} has {{HeroData|Celeste|BulletResist}}% bullet resistance (takes 6% more bullet damage).
* {{PageRef|name=Dynamo}} has no starting bullet damage resistance, but gains {{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_scalar|hero_dynamo|Level|BulletResist}} per [[Boon]] (21.87% at max level).
* {{PageRef|name=Bebop}} has no starting bullet damage resistance, but gains {{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_scalar|hero_bebop|Level|BulletResist}} per [[Boon]] (10.5% at max level).

=== Spirit Damage Resistance ===

* {{PageRef|name=Lash}} has {{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Lash|TechResist|3}}% spirit damage resistance.
* {{PageRef|name=Pocket}} has {{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Pocket|TechResist|3}}% spirit damage resistance (takes 15% more spirit damage).
* {{PageRef|name=Kelvin}} and {{PageRef|name=McGinnis}} have no starting spirit damage resistance, but gain {{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_scalar|hero_kelvin|Level|TechResist}} per Boon (21.87% at max level).

=== Melee Damage Resistance ===
* {{PageRef|name=Rem}} has {{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|Rem|MeleeResist|3}}% melee damage resistance (takes 5% more melee damage).

=== Headshot Critical Damage Reduction ===

* {{PageRef|name=Seven}} has {{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|hero_gigawatt|CritDamageReceivedPercent|3}}% critical damage reduction.
* {{PageRef|name=Mo & Krill}} have {{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|hero_krill|CritDamageReceivedPercent|3}}% critical damage reduction (Mo's head only).
* {{PageRef|name=Rem}} has {{#invoke:HeroData|get_hero_var|hero_familiar|CritDamageReceivedPercent|3}}% critical damage reduction.
* {{PageRef|name=Silver}} has 20% critical damage reduction while transformed.

=== Boon Resistances ===
Resistances gained from [[Boon|Boons]] (e.g., {{PageRef|name=Dynamo}}'s Bullet Resist or {{PageRef|name=Kelvin}}'s Spirit Resist) stack '''additively'''. This is an exception to the standard multiplicative stacking rules for other resist sources.

== Melee Resist ==
Melee Resist is a stat that reduces all incoming [[melee damage]], including from melee abilities such as {{HeroIcon|Viscous}}' {{AbilityIcon|Puddle Punch}}. It increases equally to Bullet Resist (e.g. an item that gives 10% Bullet Resist also gives 10% Melee Resist). Some items also give bonus Melee Resist. Like other types of resist, it stacks diminishingly.

== Calculation ==
While items often display resistance as a flat percentage (e.g., +20% Resist), multiple sources of resistance do not simply add together. Instead, they stack '''multiplicatively'''.

=== Calculating Resistance ===
To find your total resistance, use the following formula:

<math>\text{Total Resist} = 1 - (1 - R_1) \times (1 - R_2) \dots</math>

'''Example:'''
If you have two sources of resistance, one providing '''40%''' and another providing '''20%''':
# Convert percentages to decimals: 0.40 and 0.20.
# Subtract from 1: (1 - 0.40) = '''0.60''' and (1 - 0.20) = '''0.80'''.
# Multiply the remainders: 0.60 × 0.80 = '''0.48'''.
# Subtract from 1: 1 - 0.48 = '''0.52'''.
# Your Total Resist is '''52%'''.

=== Calculating Resistance Reduction ===
'''Resistance Reduction''' (often called "shred") acts as a counter to resistance. It is calculated separately using the same multiplicative formula, and then subtracted from the target's resistance.

<math>\text{Final Resist} = \text{Total Resistance} - \text{Total Reduction}</math>

'''Example:'''
A target has '''52%''' Total Resistance (as calculated above). You attack them with two sources of Reduction: one providing '''25%''' and another providing '''20%'''.

'''Step 1: Calculate Total Reduction'''
<math>1 - (1 - 0.25) \times (1 - 0.20) = 0.40 \rightarrow \mathbf{40\%}</math>

'''Step 2: Subtract Reduction from Resistance'''
<math>52\% - 40\% = \mathbf{12\%}</math>

The target has a final effective Resist of only '''12%'''.

=== Negative Resistance ===
If the Total Reduction is higher than the Total Resistance, the final value will be negative. This acts as a damage amplifier.

* '''30% Resist:''' You take '''70%''' of incoming damage.
* '''0% Resist:''' You take '''100%''' of incoming damage (True Damage).
* '''-30% Resist:''' You take '''130%''' of incoming damage.

== Effective Health ==

Billy

2026-02-10T04:18:01Z

Steveneven3: clarified it's only light melees and it's regardless of hitting or not

{{HeroTabs}}
{{Infobox hero
| key = hero_punkgoat
| release_date = August 20, 2025
| voice_actor = Ari Kappatos<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33268153/fullcredits/ Deadlock] on [https://www.imdb.com/ IMDb]</ref>
| codenames = Punkgoat
}}
'''Billy''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. A white hot ball of rage, furious at the very notion of... something. Billy is a chaotic front-liner who never backs down from a challenge. With Rising Ram he gets up close and personal, before slamming down with Bashdown to create shockwaves through his enemies. Running isn't even an option when Billy can use his ultimate Chain Gang to grapple enemies and pull them back in. A quick swig from his bottle gets him Blasted, and his enemies totally wrecked.

Billy was released on [[Update:August 20, 2025|August 20, 2025]] as the second hero of the [[Update:August 18, 2025|Six New Heroes]] update (first winner of hero vote).

== Innate ==
Billy has a passive that alters his [[Melee Attack| light melee attacks]]. He can use light melees faster than other heroes, gets slowed less when using light melees, and his [[Reload Time|reload]] is not interrupted by light melees.

Additionally, he can restore ammo when hitting melees once he unlocks his Blasted ability, as detailed below.
== Abilities ==
<tabber>
|-|(1) Bashdown=
{{Ability card v2
| hero_name=Billy
| ability_num=1
| notes=
* Bashdown can be held down to delay the slam and causes Billy to rise vertically.
* Billy rises 67.5 hu if they ability is immediately released and up to 163.97 hu while the ability key is held.
* If Billy reaches the max height of Bashdown, all horizontal movement becomes sharply reduced.
}}

|-|(2) Rising Ram=
{{Ability card v2
| hero_name=Billy
| ability_num=2
}}

|-|(3) Blasted=
{{Ability card v2
| hero_name=Billy
| ability_num=3
|notes=
* Hitting a [[Melee Attack|heavy melee]] fully reloads Billy's ammo. Hitting a light melee reloads {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Blasted|BulletsReloadedPerLightMeleePct}}% of ammo, or reduces the reload time by {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Blasted|BulletsReloadedPerLightMeleePct}}% if depleted.
* Bashdown procs the melee effects for Blasted.
* If the player reaches a certain threshold of Blasted stacks by landing multiple melee hits in a short time (10-15s), the Blasted duration will start going down even if the player keeps landing melee hits. However, Blasted can be sustained indefinitely by spacing out melee hits before hitting the max stacks threshold.
}}

|-|(4) Chain Gang=
{{Ability card v2
| hero_name=Billy
| ability_num=4
}}
</tabber>

== Weapon ==
{{WeaponCard|key=hero_punkgoat}}
Due to Billy's Blasted passive, hitting a [[Melee Attack|melee attack]] reloads his ammo by either 100% (heavy melee) or {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Blasted|BulletsReloadedPerLightMeleePct}}% (light melee).

Hitting a light melee during reload reduces the reload time by {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Blasted|BulletsReloadedPerLightMeleePct}}%.

== Background ==
{{Fates_Tale|punkgoat}}

=== Lore ===
Billy's wish is unknown, although the [[Patron|Patrons]] imply that Billy wants to change the world due to it being "corrupt and beyond saving."<ref>{{PageRef|name=Amber Hand}}'s in-game [[Billy/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (Billy start): ''"The world is corrupt and beyond saving! But if you summon me, I can help you change that."''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Amber Hand}}'s in-game [[Billy/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (Billy start): ''"Injustice permeates this city like a weed! You know this. Complete the ritual, and together, we will build a new world!"''</ref>

Billy got his goat head by using eldritch powers/black magic.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Billy|file=Punkgoat kill gigawatt 03.mp3|context=(killed Seven)|transcription=You think you're special because you got eldritch power? Newsflash, buddy, where do you think the goat head came from?}}</ref><ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Billy|file=Punkgoat kill gigawatt 04.mp3|context=(killed Seven)|transcription=Only difference between you and me is that I never got arrested for doing some black magic, cause I'm not a moron leaning over his skis.}}</ref> He implies he turned his head into a goat for a specific reason.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Billy|file=Punkgoat upgrade power2 10.mp3|context=(upgrade Rising Ram)|transcription=It ain't why I turned my head into a goat, but it's a hell of a perk.}}</ref>

Billy criticizes a Shakespearean Festival, but considers going once [[Paige]] points out that people there would view him as "their king."<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Billy|hero2=Paige|number=3}}</ref>

== Trivia ==
* "[[wikipedia:Billy_goat_(disambiguation)|Billy goat]]" is a term used for a male goat.
* Billy's weapon name, Biquette, means "young female goat" in French. It is a reference to "[[wikipedia:Biquette|Biquette the punk rock goat]]", who went viral on the internet for hanging around punk rock and metal concerts.
* Billy has unused "bespoke" voicelines that make meta references to the game, such as the popular [[melee]] [[Abrams]] build,<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Billy|file=Punkgoat bespoke ability line 01.mp3|transcription=Oh. You went melee Abrams. Real original, pal.}}</ref> calling [[McGinnis]]' turrets "aimbots",<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Billy|file=Punkgoat bespoke ability line 04.mp3|transcription=McGinnis! You didn't kill me, your stupid aimbot turrets did!}}</ref> and calling out [[Haze]] for "pressing 4".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Billy|file=Punkgoat bespoke ability line 06.mp3|transcription=Way to press 4, Haze.}}</ref>
** Billy makes a reference to the [[Rejuvenator]] rework, saying that "it used to go out to everybody until [[Yoshi|the Man]] decided it was too good".<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Billy|file=Punkgoat pick up rejuv 03.mp3|context=(picked up Rejuv)|transcription=You know, this used to go to everybody 'til the Man decided it was too good.}}</ref>
* Billy was one of the heroes in a private build who was accidentally leaked on stream in May 2025. Being early in development, he was using [[Shiv]]'s model as a placeholder.<ref>2025-05-01 - atahutahatena on Reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumors - [https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1kclj5p/streamer_accidentally_leaks_hero_roster_of_a_more/ Streamer accidentally leaks hero roster of a more "secret" private Deadlock pre-alpha playtest build]</ref> Billy's work-in-progress portrait was later leaked by an anonymous Discord user in July 2025.
* "Ranting in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Billy in the [[Hideout]].
* One of Billy's in-game hero select screen labels, G.O.A.T., is a reference to the acronym GOAT, standing for "greatest of all time".
* [[Billy#(3) Blasted|Wrecked]] was originally called 'Pissed', remnants of this can still be seen while hovering over the icon next to the healthbar while Billy is Blasted.

'''Celeste''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. It's not every day that Coney Island's biggest star, The Dazzling Celeste, performs on the streets of Manhattan. Her show begins with Light Eater, where a deep breath lit by her blazing baton coats enemies in front of her, and grants increased damage against them. Following that up, she envelops herself in the prismatic shield of her Dazzling Trick, which explodes and silences nearby enemies who break it. Try not to get distracted by her gliding gracefully through the air, or by the dance of her Radiant Daggers, as you'll regret being underneath them when they rain down from above. As for her memorable final act, the Shining Wonder will make her allies go OOH and her foes go AGGHHH!

Celeste was released on [[Update:February 9, 2026|February 9, 2026]] as the fifth winner of the [[Old Gods, New Blood]] update contest.

'''Pure Damage''' is a damage type from [[Ability|Abilities]] and [[Item|Items]] that isn't considered [[Spirit Damage|Spirit]] or [[Weapon Damage]], and thus cannot be mitigated by [[Damage Resistance]] or [[Damage Barrier|Barriers]].

Pure Damage appears as white numbers.

Some abilities or items show as Pure Damage (white numbers), however they are a post damage mitigation [[Damage Amplification|damage amp]], therefore the damage is already reduced once.

'''Tankbuster''' is a Tier 3 [[Spirit Item]] which grants [[Health|Bonus Health]] to the purchasing hero. It was previously named '''Improved Burst'''.

It has a passive which causes additional [[Spirit Damage]] to enemies who receive a single instance of ability spirit damage above a certain threshold from the purchasing hero.

It can be purchased from the [[Shop]] for {{Souls|{{#invoke:ItemData|get_cost|{{#var:item_key_or_en}}}}}} (its [[Component]], {{ItemIcon|Mystic Burst}}, makes up {{Souls|{{#invoke:ItemData|get_cost|Mystic Burst}}}} of the cost).

== Notes ==
* Tankbuster is a [[Charge-Up]] item, so it's not affected by [[Cooldown Reduction]].
* Tankbuster only goes on cooldown when it affects enemy heroes. It will not go on cooldown when you hit a [[Trooper]].
* Some forms of [[Spirit Amp]] applied by items count as separate damage instances and thus don't contribute to the single hit such as [[Escalating Exposure]].
* When the target is hit with spirit damage, the damage value which is compared against the triggering threshold is the base damage value prior to any increases or decreases from damage amp, damage reduction, spirit resistance, and spirit resistance reduction.
** Damage amp and spirit resist reduction will not help you in achieving the damage threshold to trigger the passive.
** Damage reduction and the target's spirit resistance will not prevent the passive from triggering when it otherwise would.
* Interaction with spirit shields: The triggering of the additional damage is entirely unaffected by the target's barriers (or lack thereof).
* The additional damage, and the ability which triggered the additional damage, are applied to the target as separate instances of damage. The additional damage from Tankbuster is dealt after the original spell damage. This has implications for abilities or effects that rely on single instances of damage, for example:
** {{HeroIcon|Vindicta}} uses assassinate on an enemy {{HeroIcon|Warden}}. The baseline Assassinate on its own is not enough damage to kill the {{HeroIcon|Warden}}, but the increased damage (due to the additional damage from triggering Tankbuster) is enough to secure the kill. Since the additional damage from triggering Improved Burst is applied after the Assassinate, it is technically the item's damage which secures the kill, not the Assassinate. Thus, {{HeroIcon|Vindicta}} will not receive bonus gun damage from Assassinate's passive.
