Valve's shooter Deadlock faces a cheating problem already

Deadlock, Valve's latest shooter, is already plagued by cheaters. Players have reported seeing cheats like aimbots in action.

Reddit user MintDoe posted a replay showing numerous cheaters. One player dodges an invisible lightning bullet with a perfectly timed jump and then shoots through a wall.

These are classic aimbot cheats. Aimbots allow players to automatically target and shoot enemies, even if they are not visible.

Cheating in Deadlock

In one clip, a sniper's crosshair is aligned with a wall, hitting enemies through it. "Let's issue a wanted notice," a player commented, highlighting a bullet changing direction mid-air.

Most users interacting with these clips urged others to report cheaters. However, MintDoe noted that the in-game reporting function does not allow players to report cheating. Instead, players must use Deadlock's official Discord.

About Deadlock

Deadlock is a 6v6 third-person shooter with MOBA elements. It draws inspiration from games like League of Legends, Dota 2, and Heroes of the Storm.

Valve initially kept the game secret, but it quickly attracted thousands of testers. Eventually, Valve created an official Steam page for the game.

Current Status

Deadlock is currently invite-only. Players can join only if invited by Valve or recommended by an existing player.

Despite this, the game has already seen over 100,000 concurrent players. On August 29, 2024, it peaked at 106,447 players.

Challenges Ahead

With the influx of cheaters, Valve aims to address this issue before opening the game to everyone.

  • Deadlock is a 6v6 third-person shooter.
  • Currently invite-only.
  • Over 100,000 concurrent players.
  • Cheating is a significant issue.
