News - Valve Completely Reworks Deadlock Item Shop, Adding "Many" New Items
<p>The item shop in <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/games/deadlock/">Deadlock</a> will look significantly different the next time you log in to Valve's third-person MOBA. The developer has overhauled the shop, adding new items, icons, costs, and more. Despite the patch notes saying that the major update is "coming soon," it's already live in-game.</p><p>Item slots were previously tied to specific tree types, but they will now be universal. Item-specific slots being replaced with universal slots removes the problem of some heroes feeling weaker due to needing up to six items of a particular kind to efficiently launch a counterattack after falling behind. Formerly, you had the ability to unlock four flex slots which served the same purpose. With the total slot count being reduced from 16 to 12, we can assume these flex slots are no longer available for unlock.</p><figure data-align="center" data-size="large" data-img-src="https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/1850/18507742/4491115-deadlockshopreworkfirstlook%21%21newitems%2Cbuilds%2Cheroredesigns%2Candmore%210-41screenshot.png" data-ref-id="1300-4491115" data-ratio="0.5625" data-width="1920" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 1920px"><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/1850/18507742/4491115-deadlockshopreworkfirstlook%21%21newitems%2Cbuilds%2Cheroredesigns%2Candmore%210-41screenshot.png"><img alt="The new item shop interface" src="https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/scale_super/1850/18507742/4491115-deadlockshopreworkfirstlook%21%21newitems%2Cbuilds%2Cheroredesigns%2Candmore%210-41screenshot.png" srcset="https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/1850/18507742/4491115-deadlockshopreworkfirstlook%21%21newitems%2Cbuilds%2Cheroredesigns%2Candmore%210-41screenshot.png 1920w, https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/scale_super/1850/18507742/4491115-deadlockshopreworkfirstlook%21%21newitems%2Cbuilds%2Cheroredesigns%2Candmore%210-41screenshot.png 1280w, https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/scale_medium/1850/18507742/4491115-deadlockshopreworkfirstlook%21%21newitems%2Cbuilds%2Cheroredesigns%2Candmore%210-41screenshot.png 480w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" data-width="1280"></a><figcaption>The new item shop interface</figcaption></figure><p>There are "many" new items being added to the store according to the <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1422450/view/524216645064852902">patch notes</a>, and all item icons have got new artwork which makes the items and their purpose more easily identifiable.</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/valve-completely-reworks-deadlock-item-shop-adding-many-new-items/1100-6531413/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
