Map guide
Deadlock map
Updated October 26, 2026
How the map works
- 3 lanes. Troopers march down each lane between the two bases. Each lane has a zipline for getting back into the fight quickly.
- Guardians, then Walkers. Each team has a Guardian and a Walker in every lane. Take them down to push toward the enemy base.
- Base, Shrines and the Patron. Inside each base, Shrines protect the Patron, the final objective. Since the May 22, 2026 update, Shrines stay invulnerable until a pair of Base Guardians is destroyed (patch notes).
- Mid Boss. A neutral boss guards the middle of the map. Since the same update it is already spawned at the start of the match.
- Neutral camps and vaults. 51 camps between the lanes give souls for clearing them.
- Soul Urn. The urn spawns at one of 6 spots and is carried to one of the 2 delivery pads.
