Deadlock Aim Trainer

How the trainer plays like Deadlock

Deadlock heroes have a lot of health and move fast, so fights are about staying on target long enough to finish them, and hitting heads for bonus damage while they dash and jump around you.

Aim Trainer's Deadlock mode uses a low-recoil, high fire-rate rifle and bots that strafe and jump quickly. Your Deadlock sensitivity converts straight in.

• Sensitivity

  Type in your Deadlock sensitivity and the trainer turns exactly as far as Deadlock for the same mouse movement. A 360° check confirms it.

• Rifle: Pulse Rifle

  Low recoil, high fire rate hitscan. Spread grows after the first few shots – burst to stay accurate at range.

• Enemies

  Enemies have 550 health, an always-visible health bar and crit damage numbers on headshots.

• Map

  The Auto map setting picks Neon District for Deadlock. Cover blocks your shots, and bots shoot back from Tier III.

Deadlock sensitivity in cm/360

cm/360 is how far you move your mouse to turn a full circle. It is the one number that means the same thing in every game. Deadlock's yaw is community-measured at twice CS2's, so your Deadlock sens is about half your CS2 sens. Confirm with the 360° check.

Switching games? The Deadlock sens converter turns any other game's sens into Deadlock's, and the eDPI calculator works out your eDPI.
