Deadlock controls & keybindings

Deadlock controls & keybindings

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I must say that Deadlock seems to have a rather comprehensive set of controls – not for the faint-hearted, mind you! The sheer number of hotkeys might seem daunting at first, but if you’ve dabbled in MOBAs or third-person action games, you’ll find yourself at home here.


In Deadlock, there’s a multitude of keybindings and hotkeys to grasp. These range from controls during combat in a lane, menu commands, and inputs when spectating or watching replays. Although they’re visible within the game, it may not always be convenient to adjust your settings at the moment. To help you out, we’ve compiled them all neatly in the table below.

Besides the shortcut keys, there’s also a customizable Chat Menu available. You can assign phrases to eight distinct directions. To employ the chat menu, simply press and hold the scroll wheel on your mouse, move your cursor to the desired option, and then let go.

As a gamer delving into Deadlock, there’s a stack of hotkeys to grasp, but if you’re familiar with MOBA games or any third-person action titles, mastering the fundamentals should be a breeze. The real challenge lies in refining my movement tactics for success. Swing by our Deadlock page for our continuous updates on Valve’s exciting new game!
