If you supplement your tabletop gaming hobbies with a soupçon of competitive MOBA battling, you absolutely need to check out The Loadout’s brand new sister website Deadlock Rank – a constantly updated, high tech database and compendium of everything about Valve’s upcoming multiplayer hero shooter.
You probably already know The Loadout’s other sibling sites, like the PC gaming masterminds at PCGamesN and the mighty Pocket Tactics, the world’s biggest mobile games site. Now, with the early access playtesting for Valve’s stylish MOBA shooter Deadlock ramping up, another shiny new website joins the family – Deadlock Rank.
If you’re not yet aware of Deadlock, don’t be embarrassed – its development was shrouded in secrecy until earlier this year – but the wizards at Deadlock Rank have compiled every shred of available info on the game to create interactive guides to its characters, maps, builds, and more.
It’s going to be an invaluable tool for anyone diving into the shooter, which is set to be a wild mixture of leading hero shooters like Overwatch and Valorant, and classic MOBA mechanics from the likes of DOTA 2 and League of Legends, such as lane-based maps, creeps, and in-game item shopping used to create competitive Deadlock builds on the fly.

So, in between the treats 2025 has to offer, we’ll certainly be waiting for an opportunity to give Deadlock a whirl – and if we do, Deadlock Rank‘s hero guides, leaderboards, and builds are going to be an essential assist to help us not entirely suck.
