Deadlock: What is Rejuvenator and How to Use it

Deadlock is a new, highly-anticipated MOBA TPS game by Valve. Like other MOBA games, buffs are essential for winning. In Deadlock, there’s an item called the Rejuvenator, which you can obtain from the Mid Boss. So, what is the Rejuvenator, and how do you use it? Let’s find out.

What is the Rejuvenator?

The Rejuvenator is a powerful buff item that drops after defeating the Mid Boss located at the center of the map in Deadlock. This Mid Boss, marked by a small golden symbol on the map, is a formidable foe that attacks any player who enters its domain.

It’s recommended to fight the Mid Boss with your teammates, as this boss is quite powerful. Similar to Roshan in Dota 2, defeating it can provide you with a significant advantage.

To claim the Rejuvenator, you need to perform a heavy melee attack on it after it drops from the boss.

How to Use the Rejuvenator

Once your team secures the Rejuvenator, all living teammates receive the Rejuvenation Credit buff, which provides several critical advantages:

• Reduced Respawn Time: The primary benefit is a 50% reduction in respawn time, allowing your team to return to the battlefield quicker.
• Buffed Minions and Health Regeneration: Your candle troopers’ HP increases by 50%, making them more resilient in combat. Additionally, your team experiences improved health regeneration, enhancing overall survivability.
• Increased Resource Gain: While the buff is active, killed minions drop 50% more souls, which are essential for purchasing items and gaining a strategic advantage.

To maximize the Rejuvenator’s benefits, it’s crucial to time your attack on the Mid Boss carefully. Aim to target the Mid Boss when your team has a lead or after eliminating most of the enemy team. This strategy minimizes the risk of opponents stealing the Rejuvenator after your hard work.

Be mindful that dying while holding the Rejuvenation Credit buff will cause you to lose it, although the reduced respawn time remains.

Now here’s the catch, if your team fails to secure the Rejuvenator after killing the Mid Boss, the enemy team can claim it, potentially turning the tide of battle.
