Ratchet: Deadlocked

Ratchet: Deadlocked is a shooter that ditches most platforming for arena combat. You fight alongside two bots you can customize, upgrading their gear as you progress. The weapon count shrinks to ten, but modding becomes central—Omega mods add elemental effects like freeze or magma blasts to any gun, while Alpha mods boost stats like fire rate and ammo. It's less puzzle-solving, more sustained firefights with loadout tweaking between rounds. Online multiplayer extends the action beyond the campaign. Clank sits this one out as a playable character, offering radio support instead. If you want the series' shooting mechanics isolated and expanded, this delivers that focus.
