There are four new expanded districts in Deadlock: City Never Sleeps update, including Theater, Chinatown, Haunted Lot, and Plaza. They turn the old jungle into activity zones with unique Haunts, layouts, and objectives. This guide will provide you with a list of all new districts in the game, ranked from best to worst:
- Chinatown District
- Plaza District
- Theater District
- Haunted Lot District
Chinatown District
- Haunts: Festival Spirits and Crabbage Pots.
- Signature: Bell Tower.
Chinatown provides the highest overall value among the four new districts, with the best pure reward density combined with clear objectives that create a basis for natural team fights and bait opportunities. Also, check out the new dual Haunt types and the open announcement mechanic, which forces you to make unconventional decisions. Use this area for strong mid-to-late game soul farming and tempo plays.
Plaza District
- Haunts: Underhands.
- Signature: Sunken Plaza.
This is another excellent district for some greedy solo or duo farming when you have map control and stealthy tools, such as Steam Vents. The stamina cost and audio isolation create genuine tension and punish overextension, which makes it so much better than most old jungle spots. It is slightly lower than Chinatown because the rewards are more conditional, but beneath the main square lies a purple fog area, which increases rewards, although it drains stamina the deeper you go.
Theater District
- Haunts: Stage Hands.
- Signature: Historic Theater.
The layout with stages, halls, and decorations, unfortunately, offers no single ultra-high reward objective like the Bell Tower or Sunken Plaza of the previous two districts, but solid Haunt density and interesting geometry for ambushes still make it a decent farming zone with unique floating enemies. Note that theatrical design and floating Haunts make it useful for heroes with high mobility and area control, although it definitely lacks the impact of Chinatown’s bell or Plaza’s risk.
Haunted Lot District
- Haunts: Shrooms.
- Signature: Overgrown, abandoned lot.
The final district is by far the worst one with its straightforward Haunt camps that offer a lesser emphasis on one high-risk objective. However, it may still be a meaningful connector with other neutrals that move and fight differently from the old camps. It can also be useful for rotations and standard farming, but it currently offers fewer unique moments compared with the Bell Tower or Sunken Plaza. Unless the Shrooms prove to be especially rewarding in the future updates, this layout may favor only a certain type of hero kits.
