Complete Deadlock Beginners Guide - Everything You Need To Know

it's crazy how this game is not even publicly announced yet, but it already has a player base, and some people even have 300+ hours in this game.

My biggest tip is make sure to farm out crates, vases and statues. The underground tunnels that go through mid and have subway-style entrances at each lane progressively spawn more and more crates throughout the match, and many people dont go down there. I always travel between farther lanes through it and clear out the boxes, and you end up with insane buffs by the end. I had +60% fire rate and +35% ammo by the end of a match earlier and one magged the other team's patron.

[@Ex0rz]

I have noticed that as well. The only issue is that you lose farm when you hunt for the crates etc. But then again you gain so much from them if you get lucky... But whenever you run past stuff that can be destroyed, destroy them and see if you get lucky.

[@RodolfoYuzo]

Thank you very much for the super detailed and well explained guide to Deadlock. I never liked MOBAs and I'm not a big fan of hero shooters, but I'm a big fan of Valve (and Remedy) and decided to give it a chance. I'm hooked as if I were playing Counter-Strike 1.5 again. However, it is a lot of information to assimilate. Lots of terms to understand. "What are these souls?", "what do these urns do?", "what item do I buy?", "why am I being HUMILIATED?", "when to kill the mid boss?", "where are the enemies from the jungle?" You explained everything very clearly, I feel much less lost now (I'm still quite lost in the items to buy and builds). Anyway, a big hug from Brazil and may your channel grow. My humble donation for your help.

[@user-ib1dd1yi7d]

dont worry you are not the only one getting humiliated ingame

[@ince55ant]

in the item shop you can get a list of user made builds for the current character and they're ranked by likes. clicking on one swaps out the default, and it even has UI for suggested order to get abilities. i normally like to work this stuff out myself but its just so complicated and using pre-made guides massively increased my enjoyment

[@sosanova9446]

When you start the game press B and then in the top right corner you can browse builds and chose a highly voted build. these builds will tell you exactly what to build

[@ninjadude183]

Exact same here. I love Valve games, but I have zero experience with MOBAS. This game does look interesting though and I'm willing to give it a shot.

[@MDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMD]

Is Remedy involved with Deadlock?

[@iLuminoPC]

If the upcoming guides you promised are as quality as these ones, you can guarantee this as a main guide playlist for literally every Deadlock player. I recommend you go over this guide`s parts (like movement, laning, shop etc.) and make an equally good in-depth video for those and ur set. GG bro, ty for the video!

[@cloudynguyen6527]

I love the how the map color looks so washed out and neutral. This means whatever bright like the characters or NPC will catch your attention. Valve is very serious when it comes to how they incorporate color in their game, like TF2 and L4D2.

[@SeltzerinShadow]

This is my first MOBA and coming from casual Overwatch (not even Overwatch2 lol ) and TF2 it has been a real learning curve. This guide was so helpful dude. I'm having fun with it but I didn't realize how much I was missing with the little things. Hopefully now I'll feed the other team less 😅 Thanks man!

[@ChilledSmoothie]

glad you made this video, i wish the game explained more of these map elements, had noooo idea that the rejuvinator was a thing and im sure my team hates me for it

[@z3l337]

Total MOBA noob here. Never played a single game before, but got access to Deadlock. Played a few games and was utterly confused on how to play. Found this video, and now everything makes sense. Nicely put together, good explanations. Now, I fear for myself in becoming too addicted to this game. Thank you.

[@heek8964]

Only having watched up to the end of laning I've learned so much from just the B roll, I had no idea sliding worked like this in this game. I thought it was useless. I gotta learn this movement.

[@EvilWoodenBoy]

This explained the Game very well, as a first timer MOBA, this made things easier to understand

[@maidstop]

I've been watching you for more than 4 years now, starting with Destiny 2 ofc, and hadn't missed a single upload since. Recently started playing Deadlock with no experience in MOBAs, and your guide is definitely something I wanted and needed. I wish you, my favorite youtuber ever, great luck with content creation on Deadlock, will definitely be with you for this chapter of your channel! Much love Marco

[@BryanPlaysAlot]

Wow thanks for this awesome guide, i am a league veteran with thousands of hours, and even played Deadlock for 10 hours and i STILL learned alot of new things and found this video very entertaining. Truly a outstanding guide 10/10

[@scarwolf2029]

New to this channel, very well explained and thought out guide. I havent had as much time to play but I agree with all the points presented. Deadlock is really nice in the sense that it doesnt take that many games to get used to it all, but still has that level of complexity mobas are known for that allows for seemingly endless skill expression. I believe the shop to be one of the more important aspects and a full breakdown of the items would be very welcome. Cheers and good luck on your new direction!

[@shangrilaw7561]

Dude I can’t thank you enough. As a non moba player I had a miserable experience my first 2 matches. So much so that I dismissed the game as just not being for me. Then I came across your video. Watched through to the end, launched the game and put everything you taught into practice and had the most fun I’ve had with a multiplayer game in years. Thank you so much dude. You’re a god send. Fantastic video.

[@maxpayenvenic6029]

I won't mind the channel keeping changing directions, if anything this video got me interested in deadlock, just like the retrospective video on zombie mode on cod

This is super helpful. There are a lot of things that the game doesn't tell you, and it's really easy to fall behind if you don't know quick ways to catch up. Great video, I'll be watching for more!

[@TimeVortexGames]

I’ve been subbed since the Division 1 days and I’m glad you’re taking the opportunity to try to do something with this game. Hopefully Valve respects themselves, and the gaming community and doesn’t flounder their chance to make a new ip

[@colbyboucher6391]

I've been in the playtest for a while but don't have anywhere near as many hours as most people. That's one of the scary things about MOBAs to me, people get SO hooked on them and it feels like if you aren't no-lifeing you just get left behind. Being in a team means you can blame other people but it also means you can be the one everyone's justifiably blaming because you're just sort of clueless.

[@BunnLilah]

I hope Valve is able to figure out how to avoid that kind of community. It's hard enough to try and learn one of these games when you've never played MOBAs very much, it's even harder when everyone is angry at you while you're confused and unsure of yourself. That's why I had trouble getting into other MOBAs. I hope it'll be one of those communities where people are patient and help out the new players instead of shitting all over them.

[@TheCactusO]

Holy crap. You seem super genuine at the end there. I think that's super cool! I can't promise that I'll be playing deadlock for a while it kind of depends on whether or not my friends jump on as well. But if they do I'll be sure to recommend your channel.

[@WolfCatBirdPigMan]

thanks so much for this video. DEFINITELY the best Deadlock beginners guide video on YT right now. Love the direction.

[@MegaJackolope]

As a dota player, the only thing driving me crazy is that sometimes your creeps just... won't push the lane. They kinda walk around wanting to join a fight in another lane when the game is later, even if you are deliberately trying to lead one to an unattended walker so you can go push and take it while the enemy is busy playing footsies posturing for a full man fight. If you walk too far from a creep when this is happening, they turn around and do a 180 to go join a fight on the other half of the map in another lane. (You need one creep with you to disable the backdoor protection, so this is annoying)

[@xanderbro92]

The mini map is on the wrong side.

[@JeroxyKing]

Got sent this from a friend after we dipped into the playtest and had a blast but also saw lots we didn't know. This guide has been super informative! I've subbed and I'm looking forward to more!
