Deadlock Unsecured Souls: What are they and how to secure them

Unsecured Souls are important to grab in Deadlook, and this is how to get your hands on them during matches.

Valve’s highly-anticipated Deadlock has finally been unveiled in an early access playtest. The 6V6 hero shooter with MOBA elements lets players control a large roster (with characters we’ve ranked on our tier list).

The ultimate aim is to destroy the enemy team’s Patron but you’ll need to obtain Souls and Unsecured Souls to become stronger first. Unsecured Souls are more tricky to get, so we’ve got all the information you need below.

What are Unsecured Souls?

Unsecured Souls are an element in Deadlock that are used as in-match currency to purchase new abilities and upgrades. This makes them essential to leveling up.

They function like other Souls in the hero shooter but are lost when you die and your allies or enemies can claim them instead.

How to secure Unsecured Souls in Deadlock

Unsecured Souls can be obtained from Creepers and crates.

The easiest way to get them is by killing Creepers around the map. These minions are found throughout Creeper Camps that fall into three different tiers:

1. Tier 1 Creepers are the easiest to kill and spawn 2 minutes into a match.
2. Tier 2 Creepers are slightly tougher to beat but worth it and spawn 7 minutes into the game.
3. Tier 3 Creepers are the most difficult to beat and also spawn after 7 minutes.

You can find a full diagram of every camp and their tiers below:

Six Tier 1 Creeper Camps are around the map and donated by a single triangle. Tier 2 camps are the most abundant with 25 camps denoted by a triangle and a single line below it.

Finally, there are eight Tier 3 Creeper Camps, and these are quite tough to beat since they take a lot of time. You can recognize them from the triangle icon with 2 lines below it.

As soon as you eliminate Creepers and claim Unsecured Souls, you’ll notice some numbers ticking down next to your Souls total. These unsecured ones will eventually shift to a more secure state.

Unsecured Souls will be added to your total Souls count after the timer runs out so you don’t need to do anything else to secure and keep them safe, just wait it out and try not to die beforehand. If you’re close to being eliminated, however, we’d strongly advise spending them right away.
