How to get a Deadlock invite?

Deadlock invite system
Invites work through Steam friendship. Someone with an invite adds you as a friend and invites you from inside the game; you never have to enter a code.
- 1Get your Steam account ready
The invite goes to your Steam account. Install Steam and sign in.
- 2Find your friend code
The number at the top of Friends › Add a Friend in Steam is your friend code.
- 3Share your code
Leave a comment, share on Discord or add people from the list. Accept the incoming friend request.
- 4Check your library
When your invite arrives, Deadlock shows up in your Steam library. Download it and jump into your first match.
Leave your friend code
Enter your code and it lands on the list. Players with invites add from this list. When your invite arrives, press “Got my invite” to keep the list fresh.
Have an invite? Copy a waiting player's code and paste it into Add a Friend in Steam. Once your request is accepted, invite them from your in-game friends list.
Ask in the HiddenKing.gg Discord server
The server has a channel where you can ask for an invite. Post your Steam name and friend code; members with invites will add you. You can find teammates while you wait, too.
- Write your friend code and the hours you play
- Accept the incoming friend request
