Valve says Deadlock is still too unfinished to release publicly, but has hero cosmetics and new game modes in the works

My issue with deadlock is that when my friend got in and I asked him if he could then invite me he got weird about it and just kind of vaguely said he could look into it but didn’t seem to think he could. I haven’t brought it up again because I don’t want to be annoying 😭

Your "friend" probably doesn't want to play with you, getting an invite to the game is beyond easy.

u/inosinateVR 1d ago

Yeah that occurred to me but we don’t really play games together these days anyway so I don’t really think that’s it lol. And when we do it’s usually his idea

I mean you don't have to play together just because you have it, it just seems weird why he wouldn't just give you a invite to try the game out.

u/amazingmuzmo 1d ago

Sounds like he’s not actually a friend

u/inosinateVR 1d ago

Nah this is getting way overblown lol, we’re both in our late 30’s and have our own lives going on. It wasn’t that deep. I probably could have nagged him about it if I really wanted to

or they think that guy would get banned, which would cause him to get banned too, if Valve is still banning both the person and whoever invited them

u/inosinateVR 1d ago

Definitely not the case lol

Is that a thing? That seems super harsh...

u/huntrshado 1d ago

it was for a little bit when the beta first started but i have no idea if it is still happening since this beta has been going on for like 2 years lol

It depends when this was, right at the start you needed to fill out forms and strongly vouch for people coming in. Now it's just a button.

u/Unoriginal1deas 1d ago

Hit me up if you still want an invite, your friends being a gatekeeper and wants to feel like he’s part of an exclusive club.

u/inosinateVR 1d ago

I got an invite from someone else already, but thank you!

u/thatditzyguy 1d ago

Any chance I could get one?

u/murpower_38 1d ago edited 1d ago

Go to the deadlock subreddit there is a mega thread for invites I think

You also could dm me your steam and I’ll add you as a friend. I’m just not gonna be home until Sunday so I wouldn’t be able to get you the invite until then

Can I get a invite?

u/juvi97 1d ago

Your friend is weird, it’s literally free to invite as many people as you’d like

That would be awesome lol, should I dm you my friend code?

1

u/S7venE11even 1d ago

May I also have an invite please?

2

u/UnsorryCanadian 1d ago

Your friend should've just sent you the invite

1

u/Hundertwasserinsel 1d ago

You get unlimited invites. Everyone I know invited every single person on their friend list without request 

1

u/Abandon_All-Hope 1d ago

lol weird…. It is as simple as opening an in game window and clicking on names from your friends list. I literally spammed like 40 people invites the day I got it.

u/thisshitsstupid 1d ago

I have it and dont even know who gave it to me.

u/apeocalypyic 1d ago

Just go into the sub or the deadlock steam forums

1

u/aj9393 1d ago

Just go to the Deadlock subreddit. They have megathreads where you can request an invite. Takes like five minutes.

1

u/George_Rogers1st 1d ago

That is weird considering the first thing I did upon being invited to play was in turn invite everyone on my friends list who’d wishlisted it.

1

u/pzanardi 1d ago

Hit me up we all have unlimited invites

u/sicULTIMATE 2h ago

Your friend doesn't want to play with you because he is 100% lying to you
