Deadlock's next major content drop has arrived and it's a doozy. Dubbed the "City Never Sleeps," this update introduces significant changes to the game's map, various quality-of-life changes, and an additional six new characters you can play. It's a lot of content, and the map additions alone are enough to change the game significantly.
So whether you're a seasoned resident of The Cursed Apple or a newcomer wondering what all the commotion is, here is everything you need to know about the latest content update and all the major changes included.
Perhaps the most dramatic addition in this update is the huge alterations to Deadlock's map. This includes full reworks of all three lanes, along with stylizing four parts of the jungle to fit specific themes. Starting with Blue Lane, this area is now based on Times Square with the bridge crossing over the main street being much wider.
Additionally, there is less cover for each of the guardians, forcing players who are on the defense to use the side buildings for cover. Each street leading to the walkers is more open, and there's no longer an elevated area behind them if you're coming from the jungle. This pushes players to commit more to their attacks.
As for Green Lane, this is now based on Central Park and predominantly features trees, greenery, brownstone buildings, and a library. The big addition to the lane is a massive tree on one side that you can actually climb up and use as cover or a vantage point. Various balance alterations have been made, such as the tier one mob camp being moved several meters away from the tower and lanes from walker to base having more cover.
Finally, for Yellow Lane, this one revolves around a decommissioned industrial zone and the New York Stock Exchange. While the lane itself hasn't received any major changes, the big updates are to the walker rooms, which both offer different areas for cover, such as the stock exchange having massive pillars around the walker.
There are also four unique districts, one for each side of the jungle. Chinatown and Haunted Lot are on the side of The Hidden King, while Plaza and Theater districts are tied to the Archmother's side of the map. The Haunted Lot is composed of broken down buildings you can run through or climb, providing some unique hiding spots or places to dip into when you need cover. Alternatively, Chinatown is relatively straightforward except for the massive bell tower in the center of the district.
The Plaza is one of the most dramatic locations, with the entire center being an undercroft with a purple haze obscuring a vision of what's underneath. There's also a massive statue of a demon holding the globe, along with narrow walkways going around this pit. Last but not least is the Theater, a massive, well, theater that features a stage with multiple mobs and Sinner Sacrifice machines in the mezzanine.
