Quick answers

Timer questions

When do camps spawn in Deadlock?
Small camps at 2:00, medium camps at 5:00, and large and Sinner's Sacrifice camps at 8:00.
How long do camps take to respawn?
Small camps take 1:25, medium camps 4:50, large camps 5:35 and Sinner's Sacrifice camps 5:00. The timer only starts when the whole camp is cleared, machines included.
When does the mid boss respawn?
7:00 after its first death, 6:00 after its second, then 5:00 after every death from then on.
When does the Soul Urn spawn?
It starts falling at 10:00 and lands 12.5 seconds later. A new one comes every 5:00. If one is still being carried at that time, the next waits for the following 5:00 mark.
When does the Unstable Rift spawn?
The first one comes at about 11:00, a minute either way. Each one after that comes about 7:00 after the last one ended, also a minute either way.
When do bridge buffs spawn?
At 5:00, then every 5:00. One that nobody took is replaced at the next mark.
How often do crates respawn?
Most come back 3:00 after they're broken. Crates and statues in the tunnels take 5:00. A drop left on the ground can delay the respawn.
When do healing snacks spawn?
They first appear at 3:00, and come back 3:00 after someone eats one.
