How Jungle Camps Work In Deadlock

In Deadlock, jungles are a prominent source of accumulating souls throughout the midgame, when heroes are in desperate need of items to amp up their power. While the camps are quite simple to farm, there isn’t a dedicated "jungle" role, unlike other MOBAs. As such, anyone can and must farm jungles to avoid missing out on supplementary resources.

The period between pushing lanes and engaging in team fights is when players must focus on the jungle camps. In that case, a keen sense of their spawn time, tiers, and locations will help immensely. Here's a detailed guide on how the jungle camp works in Deadlock, and some ways to farm them efficiently.

Jungle Camps In Deadlock, Explained

One of the many things a newcomer should know heading into Deadlock is that the small areas next to the lanes are where the jungle camp spawns a few minutes into the game. They comprise creeps and can be categorized into different tiers depending on their difficulty.

Here’s a table showing the spawn time and reward for each jungle camp tier, as of the latest patch:

Tier	Spawn Time	Reward
Tier 1	2 minutes	45 souls per creep
Tier 2	5 minutes	95 souls per creep
Tier 3	8 minutes	240 souls per creep

The Tier 1 jungle camps are indicated by a small triangle on the map, and they usually come with three to four easy-to-kill creeps. Players should farm them to stack beginner items. The Tier 2 or Medium camps are marked as a triangle with a single line on the map. They make up a steady source of souls thanks to their saturated spawns.

Minions in the Tier 3 or Hard camps have massive HP bars with high resistance. Hence, it might take a while to farm them alone. These jungle camps show up on the map as triangles with double lines underneath.

How To Efficiently Farm Jungle Camps In Deadlock

Even the best heroes in Deadlock need to spend time farming jungle camps to complete their build. While the basic idea is to squash the creeps while the lane is pushed to snag the extra soul, you need to develop some knowledge about the surroundings and character strength to be efficient. Here are some general jungling tips that should help:

Play aggressive before the Tier 1 jungle spawns to push the enemy back, and then fall back to farm the creeps. Check the mini-map for some potential flanks just to be safe.
The Tier 2 jungle minions are difficult to take down in the early game, so smash the surrounding crates and boxes to pick up buffs that can make the job easier.
During the midgame, make it a habit to push waves and clear the camps during rotations or after leaving the lane altogether.
It is best to win a team fight before heading to the Tier 3 jungles, as it might take a while to dispatch the bulkier creeps.
Deadlock heroes like Haze, Infernus, and Wraith can use the extra souls from the jungles, owing to their steep item requirements.
Teleporters grant access to a designated area on the map, so use them to make quick rotations from one camp to the next.
