The Deadlock subreddit is a great place to find players who can help you with an invite. Be cautious of scammers or suspicious links genuine invites are typically shared through a Steam profile link or a friend code. Once you’ve added a friend with Deadlock access, you can move on to the next step.
2. Have Your Friend Send You an Invite from Within Deadlock
Note: Invites may take longer than an hour to arrive, potentially up to 1-2 days. If you’ve already sent an invite to a friend, please be patient.
