What is Street Brawl? Deadlock New ARAM Game Mode Explained

Deadlock has just added a new ARAM-style game mode called Street Brawl, as part of the massive January Update. Here’s a basic guide to the new game mode and some tips to keep in mind as you play.

How to Play Street Brawl in Deadlock

Street Brawl can be accessed from the main Play screen in Deadlock, and appears right next to the standard game queue. From there, you select what Heroes you would like to queue as, and load right in.

The gameplay feels similar-ish to traditional Deadlock, but much faster-paced and more chaotic. My first game with Vyper took 15-minutes, and it went the full distance.

Gameplay Tips for Street Brawl:

1. You need to spend your Boons every Round to upgrade your Abilities (unspent Boons will carry over)
2. You can re-roll your Item selections one time per Round
3. Once you are on the game-winning point, you will have to destroy a Walker, not a Guardian
4. Street Brawl is 4v4 with ~25 Respawn timers that gradually increase
5. If Guardians/Walkers take too long to kill, Minion respawn times increase. Make sure to manage the waves.
6. Enchanted and Legendary Items are much stronger and usually worth buying, especially an Enchanted Legendary.
