Deadlock Cheats — Cheat death — vitality items, executes, vs software
Deadlock Cheat Death — the vitality item, not a software module
What Cheat Death does in Deadlock, what bypasses it, and how that search differs from third-party cheats.
Searches for deadlock cheat death and cheat death deadlock usually mean the Tier 4 vitality item Cheat Death — not a hidden software feature. This page explains the item in plain language so you can separate gameplay from third-party product pages.
What Cheat Death does
When lethal damage would kill you, Cheat Death can grant a short death-immunity window, strip many non-stun debuffs, and heavily reduce incoming damage and healing for a few seconds. Community wikis describe a scythe-and-contract visual when it procs. Exact numbers change in patches — confirm values in the current client.
What still kills through it
- Some execute effects are reported to ignore the proc, including Shiv’s Killing Blow and Grey Talon’s upgraded Guided Owl in community testing.
- Buff-removing effects such as Cursed Relic or Nullification Burst can end the immunity early.
- Other revive passives can fire in a different order; Victor’s Shocking Reanimation is often listed as resolving before Cheat Death.
