Deadlock: Bebop Build Guide

Even if you've never played Dota 2, chances are you've heard of a hero named Pudge. Well, in Deadlock, Valve's new game, there's a character similar to Pudge named Bebop.

Bebop is a hero that deals a massive amount of magic damage and can easily frustrate opponents. He's difficult to counter, so the easiest way to beat Bebop is to play as him. Plus, it's fun, even if it feels a bit "dirty."

In this article, we’ll cover the best Bebop build, capable of dealing thousands of damage points with just one button press. We'll show you the top Bebop build, skill progression, and how to play him.

Bebop Overview

Bebop is the creation of a genius engineer widow who works as a garbage collector. By creating Bebop, the woman finally got the son she never had. The smart robot helped his "mother" with routine tasks and spent leisure time with her. However, when his creator fell ill, Bebop was forced to go out into the streets to earn money for her medicine by engaging in banditry.

In combat, Bebop relies on his deadly laser and lots and lots of explosives. He can deal significant explosive damage with his explosives and powerful uppercut, close in on enemies using his hook, and upon receiving his ultimate, he transforms into a weapon of mass destruction.

Best Bebop Item Builds

Bebop is one of the most fun characters to play in Deadlock because he can pull enemies in, blow them up, and even hit them with an uppercut. Not to mention the Hyper Beam, a death ray that annihilates everything around.

Overall, Bebop has two main playstyles: Bebop through Sticky Bomb and Bebop through weapon damage. Each of these playstyles requires a different build and suits players of different skill levels: Sticky Bomb Bebop build will be effective for both beginners and experienced Deadlock players, while the weapon damage build is more suited for advanced players.

Bomb Bebop Item Build

The main idea of the Bomb Bebop build is to maximize the damage from Sticky Bomb. Therefore, almost all your resources should be invested in upgrading the Sticky Bomb ability, which scales through Spirit Power.

Bomb Bebop Skill Build

The key feature of the Bebop Bomb Build is the active item Echo Shard, which resets the cooldown of the last non-ultimate ability you used. With it and after getting the core items to increase Spirit Damage, you can kill almost any non-tank with a combination of + + Echo Shard +.

Bebop Weapon Damage Build

The second Bebop Build focuses on weapon damage. Bebop uses a laser that deals continuous damage, making it easy for him to spray. At high ranks, opponents can relatively easily counter the deadly Bebop Bomb build with items like Debuff Remover or Ethereal Shift, while it becomes more challenging to defend against the constant and rapid laser.

Weapon Bebop Skill Build

The Weapon Bebop Build works due to the high consistent damage enabled by the auto-attack animation. For maximum effectiveness, you'll need to learn how to damage enemies while they’re airborne after your uppercut.

How to Play Bebop in Deadlock

Your gameplay on Bebop depends directly on the build you've chosen. If it's Bomb Bebop, you'll want to get to Echo Shard and Spirit boost items as quickly as possible, and in battles, target “squishy” heroes like Haze, Vindicta, Grey Talon, and others.

If you decide to play through weapon damage, after mastering the uppercut with your left hand, you can take down not only squishy heroes but also more tanky opponents.

In the end, Bebop is always fun to play because you can pull opponents under Guardians and Walkers, something no other Deadlock hero can do.
