'''Ziplines''' are the primary method of long-distance transportation in ''[[Deadlock]]''. ~~Ziplines~~ are located throughout the [[Map]] ~~and can be used to leave and enter a~~ team's base ~~or to switch~~ lanes.

'''The Ziplines''' (''a.k.a. "Transit Lines" or "Hyperlines"'') are the primary method of long-distance transportation in ''[[Deadlock]]''. They are located throughout the [[Map]], starting from each team's base, running down the four different lanes. Each team has their own Zipline system. The availability of the Zipline depends on how far a team's [[Troopers]] has pushed down the lane.

When using a Zipline the player gains a movement boost up to 18 m/s regardless of the hero's base speed. Using a Zipline refreshes a hero's air dash and double jump.

If a hero takes damage from an enemy hero, they will be unable to use a Zipline for three seconds.

~~When using~~ a ~~zipline your character gains a movement up to 18 m/s regardless~~ of the ~~hero's base speed~~. ~~When you are~~ Zipline ~~boost you get ramping speed up~~ to ~~40 m/s~~. ~~This effect lasts x seconds and once completed it goes on cooldown for 308 seconds~~

== Getting knocked off ==

If damage is taken from an enemy hero while riding or attaching to the Zipline, a hero will take 15% of their max health in damage, be stunned for 3 seconds, and fall off the Zipline. After riding the Zipline for three seconds, a blue particle effect will appear to indicate that they can no longer be shot off the Zipline.

Some sources of damage will not knock a hero off a Zipline. Notably, effects considered as "damage over time" (DoT) will not knock a hero off. [[Mirage]]'s Djinn's Mark is considered a DoT effect for this purpose.

== Zipline Speed Boost & Express ==

While on the Zipline, players can activate the 'Zipline Speed Boost' (<code>F</code>by default) and receive the 'Zipline Boosted' buff for 32 seconds. When under this buff, players get ramping speed up to 40 m/s on any Zipline. This effect has a cooldown of 340 seconds. Once the [[Guardian#Base Guardian|base guardians]] are destroyed, the corresponding Ziplines have the boost applied permanently and are considered 'Express Lines'.

~~Upon using a zipline your hero gets~~ their ~~air dash~~ and ~~double jump refreshed but not stamina~~. (~~Not sure if intended~~)

Each lane has its very own name. Most characters refer to each lane as their corresponding colors. Characters like [[Seven]], [[Lash]], [[Abrams]], [[Wraith]], [[Grey Talon]], [[Infernus]], and [[Ivy]], sometimes refer to the lanes as their actual names. Some characters are also missing voice lines for Greenwich, since it was originally the Orange lane (Orchard).

== Trivia ==

~~When using a zipline if you get shot at your hero gets stunned for x seconds~~ and ~~taken off~~ the ~~zipline. You~~ are ~~unable to get back on~~ the ~~zipline for x seconds cooldown~~

* The ziplines have had various names. In ''[[Neon Prime]]'' they were called ''hyperlines'', in ''[[Shadowline]]'' they were ''shadowlines'', and now in ''Deadlock,'' their official name is ''transit lines''. Some voice lines and UI elements still refer to them by their old names.

* All the lanes are named after real New York streets, and the team's bases Grand Central (Sapphire) and Penn Station (Amber) are named after major train stations.
