Deadlock is a complex game with a lot of mechanics and details that aren’t fully explained to you (well, it’s still in the playtest phase, so no judgment there). One such feature is Flex Slots, extra item slots that you can use to put in any class of items you want. However, there’s a catch, you need to unlock these slots to use them. So, how to unlock all Flex Slots in Deadlock?

What are Flex Slots?

Flex Slots are additional item slots that allow you to equip extra items beyond the standard loadout. These slots offer increased flexibility in character builds, letting you adapt to different situations during a match.

You can place any type of item in the Flex Slots. Whether it’s a Weapon, Vitality, or Spirit item, you’ll receive its effects when it’s in the Flex Slots.

Each Flex Slot has a unique unlock condition tied to specific in-game objectives. Here’s how to unlock all four slots:

  • Slot 1: Unlocked after your team destroys an enemy Walker.
  • Slot 2: Unlocked after your team destroys all enemy Walkers.
  • Slot 3: Unlocked after your team destroys a set of enemy Elder Guardians.
  • Slot 4: Unlocked after your team destroys an enemy Shrine.

Deadlock is a team game, which means that only one person is required to do one of the objectives to unlock the Flex Slots for the entire team. So make sure to strategize to progress effectively.

Conclusion

Flex Slots are a valuable asset in Deadlock that can give you a significant edge over your opponents. By understanding the conditions for unlocking them, you can maximize their potential and help your team achieve victory.
