Valve’s Deadlock is built on the core principles of a MOBA game. That also means communication is always key to winning matches. While the game already has voice and text communication options, sometimes things happen so fast that you only have a few seconds. Luckily, you can use ping and drawing on Deadlock’s minimap to communicate. Let’s get started right now!
How to ping the minimap in Deadlock
In Deadlock, you have to hold Press the left Alt button and click the left/right mouse button on the desired location on the minimap to initiate a ping. This will create a green circle area and notify teammates on their minimap. The ping also triggers an audio queue.
That’s not all. You can also click on certain icons to notify your teammates of your activity. For example, if you push a certain walker to unlock flex slots, click on that walker on the minimap to alert your teammates. You can also do this for defensive pings, the neutral camp, the spirit urn, or even the mid-boss.
Pinging is a popular tool that was typically only available in MOBA games before Apex popularized it. But allowing you to ping via the minimap can help make communication a lot easier in Deadlock.
How to draw on the Deadlock minimap
Valve is also keeping Dota 2’s minimap functionality for Deadlock. To draw on the minimap in Deadlock, hold down the left Alt button and the left mouse button and draw. Hold them until you are drawn. Just like ping, the drawing will also disappear after a certain amount of time.
Drawing is a powerful tool to describe or plan strategies during the game. So make sure you don’t overuse it to ruin the Deadlock minimap. Valve is also strict with player integrity, so make sure you don’t draw something useless.
And that’s how to ping and draw in the Deadlock minimap. Have you tried these features yet? Let us know in the comments below.
