DeadlockZ: Heroes in DayZ

Survive DayZ as usual, offline in Chernarus. Open the Escape menu and choose CHANGE HERO to become a Deadlock hero: Holliday, Lash, Mo & Krill or Infernus. In third person you are the hero, with their real Deadlock body and Deadlock's own animations, plus their stats, signature gun and all four abilities. Earn Souls from infected, animals, crates and rare Soul urns, then press B for Deadlock's full item shop.

Everything from Deadlock is read from your own Deadlock install when you press Play: hero models and animations, stats, abilities and upgrades, all 173 shop items with prices, effects and icons, and the level table. Nothing from Deadlock is shipped. You need both games installed.

Features

• Normal DayZ: offline Chernarus with loot, infected, animals, hunger and thirst.
• Real hero bodies, built from your Deadlock install on first Play (about a minute): idle, 8-way running, sprint, crouch, jumps, dashes, shooting, melee and each ability's cast animation. First person keeps DayZ's arms for aiming.
• Escape > Change Hero any time, with Deadlock portraits and stats, or go back to plain survivor.
• Hero health pool and regen, move and sprint speed, dash (double-tap Shift), double jump and air dash, all with Deadlock's values. As a hero, hits drain your Deadlock HP (no DayZ knock-outs or bleeding).
• Abilities on keys 1-4 with Deadlock's cooldowns, charges, damage, ranges and spirit scaling.
• The hero's signature gun with Deadlock's damage, clip size, falloff and headshot crits.
• B opens the shop: weapon, vitality and spirit items at Deadlock's prices, sell back at half price. Active items go on keys 5-8.
• Souls level you up on Deadlock's level table; levels give ability points for each ability's upgrades.
• Your hero, Souls, items and upgrades carry over between sessions. Dying in DayZ resets them.
• Solo (single player, offline).

Not in this version

• Hero bodies are rigid parts (DayZ can't load smoothly skinned custom models without Bohemia's tools), so joints show seams like an action figure. Cloth such as Holliday's scarf tail is left out.
• Special effects for 5 items (Echo Shard, Magic Carpet, Vortex Web, Prism Blast, Shrink Ray); their stats work now.
• DayZ guns have fixed fire rates, so Deadlock fire-rate bonuses become equal extra damage.

Keys B shop, 1-4 abilities, 5-8 active items, double-tap Shift to dash, jump again in the air for a double jump. Rebindable in DayZ's Controls.
