In Deadlock, you get your ultimate at level 6. That’s the point where the ult unlocks, so you can’t rush it earlier just by leveling the other abilities.

Quick Scoop

  • First three abilities can be unlocked in any order.
  • The ultimate is locked until level 6.
  • After that, you can start investing in it like the rest of your kit.

A community guide from 2026 also describes the same leveling gate for ultimates in Deadlock, so the answer appears consistent with current player info.
