Deadlock Districts, Jungle Camps and Spawn Timers (City Never Sleeps)

The lanes get the attention, but most of Deadlock’s map is between them: four districts packed with camps, soul machines, shops and hiding spots. This guide covers what’s where. For how to farm it, see jungle farming.

Where everything is

Turn layers on and off to find camps, Sinner’s Sacrifice machines, golden statues and steam vents.

List of locations

Layer	How many	What to know
Objectives	6 guardians, 6 walkers, 2 patrons	Guardians (G) and Walkers (W) in each lane, the Patron (P) in each base, and the Mid Boss (M) underground at the centre.
Shops	6 lane shops, 2 secret shops, 1 base shop	One shop beside each Guardian (for that team only; it closes when the Guardian dies), two underground secret shops both teams can use, and a shop in each spawn room.
Teleporters	4 teleporters	Two linked pairs next to the secret shops. Each takes 4 seconds to channel.
Soul Urn	5 soul urn spawns, 2 soul urn drop-offs	The urn spawns at one of these points from 10:00, every 5 minutes; deliver it to the drop-off (diamond) on the far side within 45 seconds.
Unstable Rift	2 unstable rifts	The Rift appears on one of the two side-lane bridges, first around 11:00 and then about every 7 minutes.
Power-ups	2 power-ups	A power-up appears on these two bridges at 5:00 and every 5 minutes. Claim it with a heavy melee.
Sinner’s Sacrifice	11 sinner’s sacrifices	Melee these machines for souls and a chance at permanent buffs, from 8:00. Three sit at the top of the Bell Tower.
Jungle camps	4 small camps, 25 medium camps, 11 large camps	Small camps spawn at 2:00, medium at 5:00 and large at 8:00. Bigger circles are bigger camps.
Golden statues	166 golden statues	Break these for a 50% chance at a permanent stat buff. They spawn at 3:00 and respawn 3 minutes after breaking.
Steam vents	47 steam vents	Standing in a vent hides you from enemy heroes and boosts your regeneration.
Jump pads	17 jump pads	Vents that launch you through the air, handy for rotations.

The four districts

District	Notable features
Theater	Camps and Sacrifice machines between the lanes
Chinatown	The Bell Tower: three Sinner’s Sacrifice machines at the top, and a bell the whole map hears when anyone hits a machine or breakable there
Haunted Lot	Camps and Sacrifice machines between the lanes
Plaza	Sunken Plaza: two Sacrifice sites and two camps in a fog that drains your stamina, with bigger rewards the deeper you go

Everything that spawns, and when

Spawn	Count	First	Respawn

The camps (haunts)

City Never Sleeps added nine haunt families: Barrel Mimics, Past Dues, Festival Spirits, Slum Shrooms, Crabbage Pots, Stage Hands, Specimens, Gutter Ghouls and Underhands. Each has its own attacks, but they fall into three tiers:

Tier	Health	Souls	Resists (bullet / spirit)
Small	129	41 (+0.44/min)	50% / 45%
Medium	322	68 (+0.73/min)	50% / 45%
Large	1,133	181 (+1.95/min)	60% / 55%

Some Sinner’s Sacrifice sites are mixed camps, with machines next to medium camps. These respawn only once everything at the site is cleared.

Power-ups

Glowing stones on the bridges near the Soul Urn spawn and drop-off points, from 5:00 and every 5 minutes after. Grab them with a heavy melee. Each lasts 160 seconds (lost if you die) and gets stronger as the game goes on:

Power-up	Effect (early → late game)
Casting	+15 → +65 spirit power, 12–20% cooldown reduction
Gun	+12% → +35% fire rate, +35% → +70% ammo; instant reload on pickup
Movement	+2 → +4 stamina, +1.5 → +4 m/s sprint speed, faster ziplines
Survival	+200 → +750 bonus health, plus health regen

Power-ups only buff the player who claims them, so give them to the hero who benefits most: Gun to a gun carry, Casting to a spirit hero.

Secret shops

Two underground shops between Broadway and the side lanes, reached by stairs or manholes. Both teams can use them, and a teleporter sits next to each. They’re handy for shopping mid-rotation without going home.

Steam vents

Found near secret shops, camps and the Mid Boss. While inside a steam vent you:

• are hidden from enemy heroes,
• can’t be targeted by abilities or items that need a hero target, and
• get a regeneration boost.

You’re revealed if you take damage, deal damage, or an enemy hero steps into the vent. Use them to reset health before a fight, or to wait in ambush.

Underground tunnels

The tunnels link areas of the map out of sight. They have their own crates and statues (on 5-minute timers) and cockroaches worth 1 soul each. They’re a safe way to rotate, and a classic spot for ambushes.

Juke rooms

Dead-end rooms around the map, some with Cosmic Veil pickups. Good for losing a chaser who doesn’t know the map, and terrible to run into if they do.
