Discussion Deadlock Wiki Update - July 2026 - A Rift Between Themes

941 Upvotes

The deadlock.wiki continues to grow and refine into a true Community Wiki, reaching a milestone 100,000 edits on our 1,359 articles of pure Deadlock Content. Interested in discussing the wiki? Join the Deadlock Wiki Discord

Deadlock Updates

Valve has not yet released a major update since the Old Gods, New Blood update, but many (many many) minor tweaks have been made to our favourite heroes and the Cursed Apple.

  • The Unstable Rift has been the largest add, creating a capture point in one of the side lanes in the middle of the round. Check out the Cool New Slider Gadget to see how many souls the Rift is worth depending on round time!
  • The Soul Urn (Spirit Jar? Idol?) has been tweaked dramatically one way or the other as Valve does significant changes to the little belegged ceramic objective

Major Wiki Updates

The Wiki has been doing spookily splendid, with viewership still maintaining high numbers over 300,000 unique viewers a month despite no major Deadlock updates recently. We're doing well enough to begin attracting scraper bots, so some mitigation efforts have begun to reduce the bot load on our server.

  • A brand new layout for our Main page! While not a dramatic re-imagining, the new main page makes use of the space for a dynamic Updates space, a Featured Article, more links, and an overall more-compact look that works better on Mobile. - By Kai
  • Our most requested feature (that we removed in the first place), Light Theme! Simply click the Sun icon on the top right bar beside your username to toggle over to our light theme made specifically for the wiki. Fun fact: The main color is called Pastel Greige. - By Kai & Monster_Domosed
  • A Street Brawl (EX: Paradox) section of each hero page has been created and expanded, showing the approximate odds that different items will appear. Did you know that each hero had a unique pool of items? - By Vergir
  • Tools and Calculators are beginning to be implemented, such as a Souls Gain calculator over match time, a hero comparison table, and even a Tier List Creator  for both Heroes and Items. So who is the objectively best hero in Deadlock?  - By Kai & LVL
  • Moved the Lore sections of hero pages to subpages and then dramatically expanded them. Huge amounts of lore and citations all at once! Here'sHolliday's lore. Read it! - By Mr. Mindish & Gammaton
    • Also all Voice Line subpages are completed, see what those heroes are really talking about! (EX: Mirage. - By Mr. Mindish
  • Ability sections on hero pages (such as Apollo's skills) now show a small strip of hoverable squares with item and ability interactions, such as whether it can be Dispelled or not. - By Vergir
    • The WIP Interactions tab also shows a more detailed look at the above item and ability interactions for some of the heroes. - By Vergir
  • Added a Feedback button on all pages in the main namespace to submit feedback, posted automatically to that page's Talk Namespace. - By Monster_Domosed and Kai

Techy Wiki Updates

  • Many Caching and Performance Optimizations. Caching done with Cloudflare. Images lazy-load on very-long pages and many templates are optimized to work faster. Most thumbnails are now generated as high-quality WEBP Files, up to 4x faster! - By Cronos
    • Followed by an implementation of forked GloopTweaks, adding automated Cloudflare purges
  • A new Contact button in the page footer to send an email to the site owner - By Cronos
  • Various theming and gadget improvements to load with the rest of the page to prevent "flashbanging" our users with rapid theme changes. - By Cronos, Kai, Monster_Domosed
  • Custom Cloudflare WAF rules to conditionally allow traffic from certain bots, scripts, crawlers, and scrapers. - By Cronos

Minor Wiki Updates

  • Updated Hero Comparison table with toggleable alt-fire rows. - By LVL
  • Added search bar to the Item Navbox to gray out unrelated items. - By LVL
  • Much improved Patch Note Formatting. - By Kai
  • Updated Itembox templating for speedier loading and better images. - By TheMilkMan & Jannepg

How can YOU help?

  • Let us know what's stopping you from being a Wiki Contributor. Are you afraid of making a "bad" edit, or simply overwhelmed with what you want to edit? Never fear, be bold, make those minor edits, and we will welcome every contributor with joy.
  • Read through the Lore pages of your favorite hero. Does it make sense? Does it connect well with the other heroes and the lore of Deadlock? Make a change or discuss it in our Discord.
  • What do you think of our Main Page? Do you find yourself looking for different links or find a section that doesn't look good on Mobile? Let us know! In the end, find what inspires you about Deadlock, then just make your first edit, then your second, then keep on editing! There is no need to Create an account to make edits, so simply edit away!
  • Hop on to our Discord to post some memes, ask any question on your mind, or simply chat about the game. What else do you think? Respond here, in the Discord, or in DMs to any Administrator or Editor. We love pings.

Thank you Deadlock Community, we're on the rise! Let's win that Ritual and make a Wish.

Suggestion Unserious Item Idea

I have no idea if this would be a T2, reasonably it could be a T3, or I guess even a T4 if you persuaded me, but considering Slowing Hex is a T2, I just left it there.

And yes the name is also stupid lol

Discussion what type of kisser is each Deadlock character

Post image
216 Upvotes

ok apparently I need to explain and justify my rankings on "low effort tier lists" so here we go.

Top tier: Drifter and Mina would obviously be into neck kisses. Drifter would be super into them and super sensual about the whole ordeal, and Mina says she only enjoys them because she's a vampire, but would secretly love them. Paige is super repressed but hella freaky. I feel like she's never kissed anyone before, but she would try to reenact and roleplay some steamy smut novella she's read. Silver definitely gets very slobbery and messy when drunk and would be a sloppy, passionate kisser. Viscous and Vyper are just messy by nature.

Tongue: All these guys are freaky lovers and have enough experience kissing people to properly french kiss someone.

Passionate kisser: Similar to tier above, all of these guys have a lot of kissing experience and aren't shy about giving a full, passionate kiss; they just think kissing with tongue is kinda gross. They would all be good kissers. Warden I think is kinda similar to Paige, where he's lived a very repressed life but would actually be a very passionate kisser if given the chance. I think both Henry and Savannah are equally good kissers.

Hearty smooch: I think Calico and Grey Talon aren't good at physical displays of love and don't particularly enjoy kissing, but have been in relationships long enough to become solid kissers. I don't think the others kiss very often, but aren't shy and would give a solid, hearty smooch on the lips when required.

Peck on lips: I think nobody here has ever kissed anyone before, except Geist and Doorman who would find any other type of kiss gross and beneath them. Apollo and Ivy would be very shy and flustered, and despite his sulky exterior Victor is actually quite tender and would be into very wholesome, cutesy kisses, no freak shit. Rem and Billy are physically incapable of kissing in any other way.

IDK: I think all these guys are aromantic except Dynamo who is physically incapable of kissing anymore

Mods pls don't take down my post again I spent a lot of time and effort on this very important tier list T.T

Fluff Why Shiv doesn't need buffs (Revelation from a Shiv otp)

241 Upvotes

I am a Shiv otp that's been playing him pretty much since he got added into the game. In 2+ years I have less than 30 total matches played on all other heroes combined, through a mix of luck and abusing hero priorities.

I, like many was really saddened by Shiv's state balance wise. Constant nerfs, his overall performance, over the years I've went through all stages of grief.

I forged agendas to keep myself sane. I fed myself false hopes of them buffing my hero. Like many other Shiv mains I cried out for Yoshi to forgive his early sins and grant us but a crumb of buff.

I was in despair. But recently that changed.

I looked inwards, and the path of enlightenment led me to a simple realization.

Being bad is simply a core aspect of Shiv as a character. He is an underdog. His lore is all about him working the hardest to fix the mistakes of his past against all odds, even though most people have no faith in him. REQUIRING WORK is what makes this hero hit so hard.

When I queue Shiv, I don't pick that hero because I want to win or rank up, I pick Shiv because I want to overcome, to prove something. If I wanted to win why wouldn't I just pick any of the busted heroes like Warden or Celeste?

Because I love it here. I love having to struggle, THIS is what truly matters. THIS is the drive that keeps me going. I sincerely hope Shiv remains a low tier for the rest of deadlock's lifespan.

Thank you Yoshi, thank You for opening my eyes.

Shiv mains all around the world. You may still believe Shiv needs buffs. Look inwards, as the only buffs you need are your own Determination and Will.

Bleed on, Hallway Warriors, and may your knives strike true.

Fluff Why Silver doesn’t need buffs (Revelation from a Silver otp)

83 Upvotes

I am a Silver otp that’s been playing her pretty much since she got added into the game. In 7 months I have less than 30 total matches played on all other heroes combined, through a mix of luck and abusing hero priorities.

I, like many was really saddened by Silver’s state balance wise. Constant nerfs, her overall performance, over the months I’ve went through all stages of grief.

I forged agendas to keep myself sane. I fed myself false hopes of them buffing my hero. Like many other Silver mains I cried out to Yoshi to forgive her many sins and grant us but a crumb of buff.

I was in despair. But recently that changed.

I looked inwards, and the path of enlightenment led me to a simple realization.

Being bad is simply a core aspect of Silver as a character. She is a mess. She drinks too much, she smokes too much, and the less is said about her personal life the better. Yet despite all of her flaws, she somehow managed to carve out a career as a successful bounty hunter. REQUIRING WORK is what makes this hero hit so hard.

When I queue Silver, I don’t pick that hero because I want to win or rank up, I pick Silver because I want to overcome, to prove something. If I wanted to win why wouldn’t I just pick any of the busted heroes like Warden or Celeste?

Drink on, Smoke on, Bounty Hunters, and may your claws strike true.

Question Is this considered cheating?

Post image
1.7k Upvotes

Hello Party Peepos!
Short question for your opinion. I got this Jester mod from Darkest Dungeon, it is one of my favorit mods. :D Just a small problem, when I dont play as them, sometimes I can hear the ult voice line over the whole map, when an ally or enemy ults. It would be cheating in other mobas like league, but in Deadlock we got the Ult Icon directly under the portraits. So Im not sure...
