Deadlock Halloween event and Mid-Boss overhaul

Deadlock’s Halloween festivities run through November 2, 2026, adding themed map decoration and candy pickups. The update also reworks Mid-Boss rewards and makes the six latest heroes eligible for ranked bans.

  • Halloween content is available in-game through November 2, 2026.

  • Mid-Boss rewards are split into three Rejuvenator crystals around its pit rather than one central crystal.

  • Each Rejuvenator crystal can be broken with one heavy melee and grants one Rejuvenator; the total remains three per Mid-Boss kill.

  • The latest six heroes are no longer marked new, so they follow normal ranked unlock requirements and can be banned.
