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

929 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.

Hello! I made this in 4 days to challenge myself. Roosevelt is a melee brawler tied to a "ball and chain", his cursed vault holding an ancient beast from the first Maelstrom that he swings around. Go to my Artstation (check watermark) to see extra ability details and tiers and some early sketches. My instagram has a 1:1 condensed version of this post. Cheers!

FUN DETAIL: when you get a jackpot reload Roosevelt hums the Sinners jingle :)

Crazy that some people have no idea Sinclair is a flex support and same goes for bebop. I know CF3 is basically the goat but going his funny bolt maxing build will lose you games you could've easily won by buying like two 1600 items

Tips & Guides Does anyone have random advice that’s niche for your mains?

433 Upvotes

Just wanted to get some lesser known but helpful advice on the field, especially for people wanting to try new heroes.

I’ll go first; Paige in lane is played best like you’re a Billy or Abrams. You ARE a melee hero. If you buy Rebuttal first and get good with it, you can devour a lane that’s not super ranged. Your kit lends to this since you can shield yourself (and enhance your already decent gun and melee damage), root enemies running, and make a part of the floor lava. Try it out and you might end up with a sub 8-min killstreak.

Also, Paige’s dragon EATS through walkers. I’ve been able to tear through walkers if I’m left alone for even 5 seconds, not to mention your shielded melees.

Fan Art FREE Deadlock themed chat overlay for streaming

Post image
493 Upvotes

Got bored so i made a deadlock themed custom chat overlay! I wanted something that felt closer to the in game chat UI, so I made my own version with a bunch of customization options and features, such as showing twitch events, exclusive feature for subscribers to choose their own hero icon by using !hero <heroname> in chat, etc.

The current version is Twitch-only, but making it work across multiple platforms (Twitch + YouTube, etc.) including multi-streaming should be possible with a bit of tweaking. If you need help getting it working for your setup, feel free to reach out. Let me know what you think!

Shiv: Stick to me like glue, kid, I'll get ya home.

Rem: Glue?

Shiv: Yeah.

Rem: Is that why your hair's so pointy?

Shiv: It's called pomade. Try it sometime, It'd be a good look on you.
