What are unsecured souls in Deadlock?

Don't go waltzing around the battlefield with a wad of cash in hand.

For most of your matches in Deadlock, souls will be rather straightforward. You kill minions, eliminate enemy players, destroy towers, and deliver soul urns to get souls. This all is simple enough, though it becomes a tad confusing once unsecured souls come into the picture. Here’s what unsecured souls are in Deadlock.

Unsecured souls are souls received upon defeating jungle camps and grabbing soul pickups off the ground. The amount you get will vary depending on the jungle camp, soul pickup, or state of the match. For example, killing a small enemy in a jungle camp (one with two bars of health) will only grant 45 unsecured souls, but you’ll get much more from the bigger jungle enemies.

Along with jungle camps and soul pickups, any player holding unsecured souls will drop them on death. Walking up to these and standing on them for a moment will grant them to you. This is a great way to punish enemy players who spend most of the game farming jungle camps, since they’ll be potentially holding a thousand or more souls for you to steal.

Your unsecured souls will tick down over time, locking those souls to you and preventing enemies from stealing them if they kill you. As such, it’s best to either not grab too many unsecured souls at once or to spend them as soon as possible. A large amount being given to the enemy can genuinely turn a match in their favor, or make holding your lead much harder.
