Deadlock: Rejuvenator, Explained

Deadlock, Valve’s MOBA third-person shooter, has everything you’d expect. Lanes where minions battle it out to engage the tower, a variety of characters to choose from and even monsters hidden throughout the map. However, there is one important monster that may go unnoticed by newer players.

Here's everything you need to know about playing as a jungler in Deadlock!

The Mid-Boss, a giant, green, one-eyed monster who guards a very valuable crystal called the Rejuvenator. Capable of empowering you and all your allies, that will almost certainly guarantee victory. This guide will go over where and when to go for the Rejuvenator as well as explain the many buffs it bestows upon those who claim it.

The game is still in development. Expect a lot more balance changes and improvements over time.

What Is The Rejuvenator Location And Buffs?

The Rejuvenator is a large, green crystal that grants buffs to whomever shatters it. It is guarded by the Mid-Boss, a powerful monster who resides at the center of the map that cannot be harmed unless you are close to it. Once defeated and the crystal rune has been shattered, the team who is responsible will be granted the Rejuvenation Credit buff.

The Rejuvenator cannot be claimed until it fully touches the ground.

The following benefits apply to the entire team:

• Halves each player's next respawn time.
• Currently, dead players will consume the credit immediately to halve their 'remaining' respawn time.
• Converts Troopers into Super Troopers (50 percent HP Buff).
• Increase fire rate by 20 percent for the player and the player's allies.
• Increases max health by 200HP for the player and the player's allies.
• Increases movement speed by one m/s for the player and the player's allies.

The buff lasts three minutes or until death.

When To Go For The Rejuvenator

The Mid-Boss always spawns at the ten minute mark during a match. With all the buffs mentioned prior, it may be tempting to immediately rush for the crystal and claim it as soon as possible. However, there are a few things to keep in mind before attempting to claim the crystal.

• How many of your teammates are alive?
• What do the lanes look like?
• How many enemies are currently alive?

It is extremely vital to know these variables. The Mid-Boss is a very tough opponent to face alone and should always be fought alongside your team. Additionally, the best time to go for the Mid-Boss is when you and your team have lane advantage.

In a situation where there are enemies alive, and you attempt to nab the crystal, there is a tremendous chance they will attempt to steal it from you. Maintain awareness of which enemies are still alive, and position a few allies just outside the boss's room to keep them at bay.
