Deadlock: Best Infernus Build Guide

Playing Infernus in Deadlock is both fun and straightforward. However, securing kills and surviving in the game requires the right items. This guide covers the best Infernus build in Deadlock to help you dominate the battlefield.

Infernus Skill Progression

All heroes in Deadlock have four abilities, including an ultimate. As a DoT dealer, Infernus’ abilities are focused on damage and crowd control:

• Catalyst: Spew napalm that slows enemy movement and amplifies the damage Infernus does to them.
• Flame Dash: Move forward at high speed and leave a flame trail that burns enemies
• Afterburn: Your bullets build up to apply a burning effect on enemies. Infernus’s bullets and abilities refresh the duration.
• Concussive Combustion (ultimate): Turns you into a living bomb that explodes after a short delay, stunning all enemies in its radius.

The best skill progression for Infernus is Afterburn > Flame Dash > Concussive Combustion > Catalyst.

Start by unlocking all of Infernus’ skills to at least level one. Then, focus on maximizing Afterburn and Flame Dash. Once those are maxed out, balance your upgrades between Catalyst and Concussive Combustion.
