Haze is one of the many characters in Valve’s new hero-shooter Deadlock, capable of dealing heavy damage and escaping through stealth. As one of the main DPS characters in the game, Haze can be difficult to master, with a weak early game that can set back her power spike.

If you want to survive the early game and defeat your enemies from the shadows, you’ll have to level up the right abilities and equip Haze with powerful items. Here’s the best DPS Haze build in Deadlock.

Deadlock has dropped yet another update which brings a plethora of patch notes and some massive changes to this popular hero-shooter.

Most importantly, this patch has unveiled six new heroes that are only available in a new game mode named Hero Labs. If you want to learn about everything included in the latest Deadlock update before you hop into another ranked match, then look no further.

As Deadlock‘s a multiplayer title that pits players against other players, many naturally want to know where they stand in the global rankings. Valve hasn’t yet put together a ranked leaderboard, so third-party sites were filling the gap with their own MMR systems—until they were allowed to, that is.

Here’s what we know about your MMR in Deadlock and Deadlock Tracker right now.

When professional esports players talk, people listen. And when it’s former pros like TenZ who stream to huge audiences, there’s even more reason to take heed, especially when it comes to FPS games.

In a Sept. 30 clip from his stream, the former VALORANT and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive pro-turned-full time content creator had a lot to say when a donator asked him about Valve’s plans for CS2 moving forward now that the company’s newest game, Deadlock, is out in the wild. And he did not mince words.

Like other MOBAs, Deadlock has a dangerous boss who inhabits the center of the map, offering a challenging fight in exchange for powerful buffs and rewards. This one-eyed beast rests in a pit and shoots a powerful laser that shreds your health, so you’ll want to take on the monster with the help of your entire team.

Your team could secure victory if you are lucky enough to defeat the beast and claim the Rejuvenator. Here is everything you need to know about defeating the mid-boss in Deadlock.

The Sinner’s Sacrifice in Deadlock received an exciting tweak that makes breaking these slot machines even more rewarding.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Sinner’s Sacrifice in Deadlock, along with their locations on the map, buffs, and respawn times.

With more and more players flocking to the game each day, new heroes entering the fray, and patches switching up the flow of things, it’s high time we take a look at Deadlock‘s best heroes.

Deadlock hero tier list

Before I begin, keep in mind that Deadlock is still very much in early development, and new heroes continue to be added to the game. Existing ones are subject to change, and their current state shouldn’t be considered permanent. With that out of the way, here is our Deadlock hero tier list and ranking.

Valve continues to build up Deadlock, with the SMITE-like MOBA FPS in players’ hands for an early developer build throughout mid-2024.

Twenty-one heroes are currently in Deadlock‘s alpha, up from the 19 leaked when the project was made public in May. Here’s a look at every hero, their abilities and ultimate, and a little about how leveling each ability works in Deadlock.

Vindicta is one of the most powerful carries in Deadlock, capable of taking down enemies from a distance with her trusty sniper rifle. But as players grew familiar with her, they noticed she’s not much of a sniper or marksman after all.

A Sept. 27 Reddit thread focusing on Vindicta‘s weapon being the second-shortest ranged gun in the game opened the floodgates of ideas aiming to fix Vindicta and turn her into the long-range marksman she’s supposed to be. “In my opinion, Vindicta’s gun just doesn’t fit her,” one user wrote, adding that “she should have a low capacity low fire rate high velocity high damage marksman rifle instead of an assault rifle.”

Mirage in Deadlock is tailor-made to turn the tide of fights with his quick teleports, but besides aiding your teammates, you need to sustain your lane—which requires running the correct build.

Valve’s undoubtedly hard at work, introducing a new hero, Mirage, and several changes in Deadlock’s Sept. 26 update. Mirage’s addition takes the hero tally to 22, and the newest addition offers interesting abilities that allow him to be quick on his feet and evade enemy bullets comfortably.
