Deadlock

Guides

This Paradox Deadlock build is one of the deadliest out there.

One of the most satisfying feelings in Deadlock is landing a shot that is so deadly that you can get a one-shot elimination, or at least something close to it. With this Paradox Carbine Cannon build, you can do just that thanks to the power of the Kinetic Carbine ability and the Glass Cannon item. Here’s how.
