Deadlock: does the game have skins?

As of writing, Deadlock does not have any skins. Each character just has their base design currently available, which is pretty unfortunate for any cosmetic lovers out there.

However, the game is only in its early stages, being in closed beta at the moment. This of course means that the developers are still working hard to continue making the game.

This might mean that cosmetics like skins are taking a back seat for the moment, so the devs can complete the title and launch it for everyone.

Will Deadlock have skins in the future?

Just because Deadlock doesn’t have skins at the moment, doesn’t mean it won’t in the future.

It’s highly likely that Deadlock will have skins in a future update, as many other titles from Valve, like Team Fortress 2, Counterstrike 2, and DOTA 2 have all had a lengthy history of skins.

Valve’s skins tend to be a bit more about cosmetic sets, however, meaning if DOTA is anything to go off of, you’ll be able to mix and match pieces of cosmetics for a character. Think maybe a different weapon skin, or a new shirt.

If Valve does something similar to DOTA, we could see Pocket with a new weapon, or a new briefcase as cosmetics.

The devs have yet to officially confirm if skins will be a thing in Deadlock, but many players, us included, are convinced that they’re on the way, we’ll just need to wait out a little longer.
