Time to master some movement mechanics in Deadlock.

Movement is an extremely important aspect of Deadlock, and dominating mechanics such as the Dash, Air Dash, and Dash Jump not only can prevent you from dying but also grab some important kills.

Throughout this guide, you'll learn how to Dash, Air Dash, and Dash jump in Deadlock, and thus add a bit more depth to your gameplay.

Deadlock: How to Dash, Air Dash, and Dash Jump

How to Dash

To Dash in Deadlock, all you need to do is press Left Shift + a direction (Forward, Backward, Left, Right, or diagonals)

This will make your character roll in the direction you want. The Dash is pretty good for diving into the enemy team in the middle of a team fight or simply an adversary you want to take out, finding cover, and it's also a valuable mechanic to disengage. Any time you Dash, you'll use one Stamina bar.

How to Air Dash

To Air Dash in Deadlock, use Left Shift + a direction (Forward, Backward, Left, Right, or diagonals) while you're in the air.

Whilst similar to the regular Dash, this one specifically gives you mobility while you're in the air. Watch out though as it also consumes one Stamina bar, and you can't do it twice until you touch the ground.

How to Dash Jump

To Dash Jump in Deadlock, you'll have to hit the right timing. First, press Left Shift to Dash and then hit Space to Jump.

Until you get used to the timing of the Dash Jump, you can look at the Stamina bars near your crosshair and Jump when they turn blue. It might take you a while to dominate the Dash Jump as it's one of the hardest movement mechanics in Deadlock. It also costs two Stamina bars instead of just one.
