Deadlokk Patch Notes – v0.6.3

Welcome to Deadlokk v0.6.3! – It has been a few months since our last update. This is due huge reworks of many systems in the game. The current game has now changed to be PVE focused instead of PVP. Expedition is now our main mode we’re going to work on until further notice. In celebration of this you can now save randomized items found in Expedition between games to use them again!
