Luke Warr Published May 28, 2024

Valve’s new arena shooter Deadlock isn’t officially announced, but that hasn’t stopped leakers from revealing the game’s list of characters.

Under the working title Neon Prime, Valve has been working on Deadlock for years. Despite the developer’s best efforts to maintain secrecy, in-game screenshots and gameplay clips have slipped through the cracks. This could be attributed to an exclusive alpha test, which is rumored to be in progress at Valve. Characters are the most important part of any arena shooter, and fans are grasping for any information about the game’s roster.

So far, 19 Deadlock characters have been leaked, and we have a scoop on most of them.

List of all leaked characters in Deadlock

Here are all 19 leaked characters in Deadlock, along with a brief description of their appearance and abilities.

• Abrams: A gargoyle-demon-like character
• Bebop: A red robot with what looks like a missing eye
• Dynamo: Another robotic character
• Grey Talon: A Native American character who delivers long-range shots and is equipped with clever traps
• Haze: A close-range fighter who excels at spraying bullets
• Infernus: An agile character who can burn enemies within a large radius
• Ivy: A support healer with slowing and stunning combat tricks than can share heals with an ally
• Kelvin: Kelvin is a giant who can freeze enemies in their tracks, allowing teammates to execute plays
• Lady Geist: Lady Geist can likely suck life out of enemies and gain health herself
• Lash: A warrior
• McGinnis: A welder or blacksmith
• Mo & Krill: A monkey and pig duo
• Paradox 
• Pocket 
• Seven: Seven excels at crowd control. He can rain electric shock over a crowd of enemies
• Vindicta: A vampiric sniper
• Warden: A sizeable police officer brute who has maximum impact when stationed on the front lines
• Wraith: A bounty hunter who can teleport across the map
• Yamato: A samurai

These descriptions are taken directly from leaked screenshots, with some showing whole character abilities and others only a name. The Deadlock character screen features small thumbs-up icons that hint at beginner-friendly characters. This suggests that some characters may be unlocked by default while others may become playable over time. It’s unclear whether all 19 of the leaked characters will be included or if Valve will launch the game with a select few, similar to Valorant.

In any case, fans will be delighted to know that initial screenshots are far from reality. Deadlock has fast-paced gameplay fueled by fierce-looking and stylish characters. From the leaked gameplay, it seems that each character has a unique set of skills that can be upgraded in levels. From Fortnite-style building abilities to high-capacity weapon magazines, all of Deadlock’s characters look creative and powerful.
