Holiday Skins
Deadlock: Free Holiday Skins
Each character in Deadlock has received a special Holiday New Year skin. This addition is part of the in-game “Holiday Cheer” event, which began on December 17, 2024, to celebrate the upcoming winter holidays. Valve has expressed its hope that this season will be magical, bringing joy, warmth, and delightful surprises.
How to unlock all Deadlock holiday skins
Players must complete specific tasks related to each character in the game to unlock the Holiday Cheer Deadlock skins. The requirements for unlocking skins vary for each character. Once you finish a hero’s Holiday Cheer quest, a message will appear on the screen notifying you with “[enemy] has obtained a Holiday Cheer for [player name].” Following this, the hero’s Holiday Cheer skin will unlock and be applied to the character immediately.
Players with unlocked skins will see small Santa hat icons in the upper right corner of each character profile in the Deadlock hero’s menu. The new Deadlock winter skins also introduce a New York Oracle holiday voice line for the hero. Valve has not indicated whether these holiday skins will be available permanently. Interestingly, data miners have discovered that the skins modify many of the filler models, suggesting that they may look different in the future.
