Deadlock Shop Rework Update Patch Notes: Item Changes, Map Revamp, and More

Let me be honest—no matter how far I stray from Deadlock, a new update always pulls me right back in. Whether it’s a revamped item shop or fresh gear to try out, each patch brings something exciting to the table. The game’s still in development, but it’s constantly evolving, and we get to be part of that ride. So, let’s dive into the latest Deadlock shop rework patch notes and break down all the changes in this patch.

Deadlock Item Shop Gets a Massive Rework

The Deadlock item shop has undergone a full rework, introducing a stack of new items alongside significant structural changes. Item slots are now universally applicable, breaking away from tree-specific limitations, though the total number of slots has been reduced from 16 to 12. A welcome addition is the discounting of item costs based on owned components.

Visually, every item icon has been refreshed with new artwork. The mechanics of tier bonuses have also been revamped, shifting from a per-item basis to a system based on total spending within a tree, with a non-linear progression that encourages investment across multiple trees rather than deep specialization in one. Furthermore, several item names in the Curiosity Shop have been updated, and a helpful visual cue has been implemented: items now glow when an upgrade is available for purchase.

Enhanced Build Authoring

The way you craft your hero’s progression has been revolutionized! The Deadlock item shop rework update patch brings big changes to how you make a build.

• Introducing the Fullscreen Build Browser: Say goodbye to the old Build Browser! A brand-new, dedicated full-screen UI provides an immersive and intuitive experience for exploring and managing builds.
• Instantly Capture Opponent Strategies: Analyze your enemies like never before! After a match, hovering over a player now reveals a “Create Build” button. Clicking it instantly generates a local, unpublished build based on their item purchases (including imbue targets and sell order), allowing you to dissect their choices.
• Communicate Your Vision with Build Tags: Express the essence of your build with the new build tag system. Assign up to three tags (icons with descriptions) to concisely convey your build’s theme – from core focuses like Weapon, Spirit, or Vitality, to strategic nuances like complexity or melee focus. Hero ability icons and included item icons can even be used as tags! Builds without tags will not appear in public search results, encouraging creators to define their strategies.
• Guide Your Purchases with Suggested Imbues: Planning your item progression is now more precise. You can designate a suggested imbue target for items within your build. When using Quickbuy, this target will be automatically selected, and during normal purchases, it will be highlighted in the imbue popup.
• Automated Item Management with Sell Priority: Never miss a crucial purchase due to a full inventory again! Assign a sell priority (1-100) to items in your build. When using Quickbuy with a full inventory, the item with the lowest sell priority will be automatically sold to make space.
• Tailor Your Quickbuy with Optional Categories: Build categories can now be marked as “Optional.” These categories will be visually distinct in the build UI and will not be automatically added to your Quickbuy queue, offering greater control over your early game purchases.
• Intuitive Build Editing: The build editor has been streamlined with a dedicated left-side panel for editing properties of selected items and categories. This replaces cumbersome right-click menus for tasks like adding annotation notes and setting imbue targets. Removing items is now as simple as dragging them out of the category UI.

A Redesigned Quickbuy

Quickbuy is a fairly new mechanic in Deadlock, but the item shop rework update is changing it further. Purchasing your items in the heat of battle is now faster and more intuitive!

• Expanded Quickbuy Queue: A new, larger Quickbuy queue UI now sits conveniently next to the shop. This allows you to easily view, remove, and reorder items in your purchase plan.
• Effortless Queue Management: Quickly queue your entire selected build with a single button, or clear your Quickbuy queue instantly when your strategy shifts.
• New Default Hotkey: The Quickbuy hotkey has been changed from ‘Shift+B’ to the more accessible ‘G‘.
• Automatic Build Queuing: Customize your experience with a new option to automatically queue your selected build at the start of each match, ensuring you’re always on your planned path.
• Reliable Purchases: Numerous underlying bugs that previously caused Quickbuy failures have been resolved, leading to a smoother and more dependable shopping experience.
