All Leaked Characters in Deadlock

After the August 29 update, players were given the opportunity to preview upcoming heroes or characters being tested by the developers by entering specific commands in the console. These previously unavailable heroes were now accessible to players.

To access and test out any of the leaked heroes, you can simply view them in-game while in the sandbox. To actually try them out, you will need to press F7 to open the console and type in “selecthero hero_[name]”.
