The fourth game in the Ratchet & Clank series, released as Ratchet: Gladiator in Europe and Australia, and is considered by many to be by far the darkest entry in the series.After succeeding in foiling Dr. Nefarious' plot to destroy organic life, Ratchet continues his work onboard the Starship Phoenix alongside Clank and Big Al. However, the trio is soon kidnapped by Gleeman Vox, a sinister TV executive who wants Ratchet to be a contestant on his The Running Man-esque gladiatorial combat show DreadZone. What's worse, it's an offer Ratchet and friends can't refuse, as they've been fitted with explosive collars that'll blow their heads off if they decline to participate... or if they're just not up to snuff compared to the other competitors. With no other options, Ratchet must fight to earn their freedom, all while getting constantly slandered by Vox. Unfortunately, Clank is relegated to mission control and can't ride around on Ratchet's back while they're all in this mess (hence why his name isn't in the title this time), but he's still not alone in the field; two combat robots named Merc and Green become his backup, helping him destroy enemies, hack objects, and get around. That's good, because Ratchet will need to rely on whatever help he can get to escape this place where heroes are forced to kill each other.Befitting of the nature of DreadZone, Deadlocked greatly reduces the platforming sections of the series, turning many of them into health-reducing hazards rather than perilous one chance challenges, and instead focuses on straight combat with bigger and badder weapons and enemies.Had a companion prequel comic titled The Adventures of Captain Starshield. An HD version of the game was released on the PSN in 2013; it was free as an apology to those who waited for the Vita version of Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault to be released. It was released in May in North America, and Europe and Australia finally got the game after four months, in September. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
Ratchet: Deadlocked (Video Game) / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: Played straight, like the rest of the series, but notable here because the game still manages to get quite a few High-Pressure Blood jokes in, (in Announcer Chatter and the manual) which creates a bit of Fridge Logic. | |

The game relies on Instant-Win Condition for the challenges—even if Ratchet dies just after finishing a challenge, it'll count as a victory and he won't have to start over. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
Ratchet: Deadlocked (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Deadlocked is considered to be the darkest installment of the R&C series yet by many fans. Considering that the premise is "Ratchet and his friends are kidnapped, have explosive collars put on their necks, and have to fight for their lives in a televised gladiatorial tournament", and that the art-direction literally became darker and edgier in things like menus and level design, it's a fair point. It's still Ratchet and Clank, though, so the extra dosage of grimdark is Played for Laughs just as much as everything else. Even Ratchet's death animation in this game counts: in the first three, he comically spun around on one foot before falling onto his back when he ran out of health, but in this game he falls to his knees and then falls forward onto the ground, which looks far more dramatic. | |

Early Game Hell | |
Ratchet: Deadlocked (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: The game becomes this on Hero Difficulty. Two or three hits from just about anything, and you're dead, meaning your health upgrades are barely any help, and your weapons are even weaker than before. As you level up, the game gets more manageable, but far from easy. And lets not even get started on Exterminator Difficulty... | |

All There in the Manual: Insomniac's official site had in-universe newsletters by Dallas and Juanita and a short comic story about Captain Starshield that revealed many details and throwaway gags on the game. The strategy guide also has some of this and it notably fleshes out the backstories of Ace Hardlight and Shellshock. | |

Not the Intended Use | |
Ratchet: Deadlocked (Video Game) / int_20e20e99 | comment |
Not the Intended Use: The Ghost Mine Launcher is, like its name says, a gun that launches mines. However, before they are shot, the gun holds the mine at the end of its barrel. The fun part is that the mine is actually fully operational at this stage, and touching enemies with it triggers an explosion (that still consumes ammo, sadly). The fact that it launches mines also means that it doubles as a grenade launcher; it's arguably even more useful than the game's actual grenade launcher. So in one gun you have homing mines, a grenade launcher, and a area-of-effect melee weapon! The Fusion/Anti-matter rifle is intented to be used as a sniper rifle, but as the game shows its crosshairs even when the scope is not in use it can be used in regular combat. Insomniac probably believed players would use it while standing still, and made it deal massive damage and penetrate targets to balance it out - needless to say, being able to run and jump around while blasting enemies with it makes it much more useful than it first appears to be. | |

The Dual Vipers are a "quantity over quality" weapon (the instruction manual even refers to them as this), and eventually they'll take hundreds of bullets to kill huge enemies. They get better in Challenge Mode, though and can be modded to have additional effects. | |

Limit Break | |
Ratchet: Deadlocked (Video Game) / int_2afb1a9 | comment |
Limit Break: Damaging enemies fills up a special meter. Once full, it can be spent to perform a special move: In single player, the bots fire the Alpha Ravager - a laser-shooting bouncing grenade. It can be later replaced by the Beta Ravager, which is disc-shaped and bounces from enemy to enemy before exploding. In co-op, both players have a meter that they must fill. When both are full, the players can spend them to activate one of two powerups - Berserk (temporarily quadruples the power of all weapons) or Nanoshield (absorbs damage equal to max health, essentially acting as a second lifebar that cannot be healed). | |

Hero with Bad Publicity: DreadZone News goes to ridiculous lengths to slander Ratchet as a bloodthirsty psychopath (funny, considering the kind of program they're reporting on...) Vox later insists he was only doing it to build up Ratchet's "bad-boy image". This seems to be an aversion as the public fully adores Ratchet, even preferring him over the "hero" Ace Hardlight who they 100% loathed. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
Ratchet: Deadlocked (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: In the PS2 version, there's a nasty showstopping glitch that can randomly occur either when you start or finish a challenge, which slows the game to an unbelievable crawl (as in "one frame every minute or two" slow). Trying to exit out of the game without letting it go through this and return to normal (which can take at minimum a half hour) will mess up your save file—the story campaign remains unchanged, but you lose all of your Dread Points that you've gotten up to that point (and the opening cutscene and early expositionary dialogue still play as if you're on the first level), making the game impossible to finish and forcing you to start a new save file. It is strongly recommended you keep at least two separate save files in preparation for this. And to add insult to injury, this was not fixed in the HD collection. | |

Blatant Lies: Saying Dallas and Juanita's smear campaign against Ratchet is an increasingly transparent bullshitting contest is being generous. For starters, many of the photos are blatantly doctored (a cutout of Ratchet's face is often put on other bodies, and the tape is plainly visible) and one scene has them dub over three kids to make them say they hate Ratchet, even though they're playing with Ratchet toys and accessories, and they don't even attempt to disguise their voices or properly lip synch their dialogue. | |

Ratchet: Deadlocked (Video Game) / int_4b621f81 | comment |
Design-It-Yourself Equipment: One of the major gameplay additions is the ability to mod your weapons. Mods are split between Alpha Mods (which boosts statistics such as max ammo, rate of fire or XP gained) and Omega Mods (which adds effects such as Chain Lightning, Acid or dropping Napalm). | |

Announcer Chatter: As this game is set on a game show, your actions are being watched by two announcers - Dallas and Juanita - who commentate on everything going on. These range from scripted lines (such as the ones at the start of almost every mission) to the several dozen randomized lines that Dallas has for multiple contexts. | |

Ratchet: Deadlocked (Video Game) / int_51a12a6f | comment |
Hong Kong Dub: In-universe, after Ace Hardlight's "death", Dallas and Juanita try to slander Ratchet again by dubbing over the three kids to make it sound like they hate Ratchet for what he did. Thing is, they don't even attempt to disguise their voices, and their dubbing clearly doesn't match up with the on screen visuals. The kids aren't even talking much and are playing with toys of Ratchet! | |

The Dragon: Ace Hardlight, though it's clear early on that the two do not like each other, as Ace is only catering to his employer, and Vox is only trying to maintain their villain/dragon relationship because he feels Ace is the most marketable exterminator in the 'Zone. He's all for replacing Ace, and this becomes more apparent as Ratchet grows in popularity. | |

Disc-One Nuke | |
Ratchet: Deadlocked (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d | comment |
Disc-One Nuke: The Holoshield Launcher of all things can become this, though for completely different reason one would expect. Due to how its upgrading works, it is possible to max it out very quickly with a bit of grinding - the Leviathan king with its laser attack on Sarathos is ideal for this. The fully upgraded version is a respectable tool in its own right, if completely lacking in offensive capabilities, sapping nanotech directly from enemies and coming with 5 ammunition mods and 5 speed mods, which can be used on more useful weapons, making them much more efficient. The Freeze Mod also qualifies due to being available as early as Kronos and for its sheer game-breaking nature when combined with crowd control weapons (i.e. the Scorpion Flail) or powerful weapons like the Fusion Rifle (which is also available alongside it on Kronos). Even the dreaded Executioners and Laserbacks don't stand a chance against you with the latter combo. Speaking of which, the Fusion Rifle itself counts, with or without the Freeze Mod. While a tad pricey, it deals jaw dropping damage out of the gate and becomes one of the strongest weapons in the game with upgrades, works just as well as a normal weapon as a long range weapon due to its accuracy, and it can one-shot pretty much any foe outside of an Executioner, and even those guys can be mowed down in one or two hits. Its only real handicaps are its low ammo capacity and slow rate of fire. | |

Guide Dang It!: Some Skill Points require you to kill certain enemies with certain weapons or in a certain time. Problem, you aren't told what enemies are what, so that means either checking the stats menu every time you kill something or just using the internet. Others require you to search for every last special treasure box on given planet. Needless to say, some of them are pretty well hidden. Getting the Exterminator Cards, since you aren't given any clue how to get them. The only proof that they're collectible is that the last cheat requires you to get all of them. | |

Easy Level Trick | |
Ratchet: Deadlocked (Video Game) / int_8125d8f6 | comment |
Easy Level Trick: Due to the abundance of enemies with strong laser beams as attacks, it is ridiculously easy to grind so that you can level up the Holoshield Launcher. It can be fully upgraded as early as Sarathos. There are at least two challenges ("Whack a Swarmer" on Shaar and "Endzone" on the DreadZone station) that make it ridiculously easy to grind for upgrades, especially when you buy a Jackpot and XP alpha mod. One of skillpoints on Torval requires you to beat any mission on Exterminator difficulty. It also has a mission which consists of following twelve drones on a hoverbike and shooting them down. They don't attack you at all, so the only danger comes from explosive barrels that are easy enough to avoid or shoot down, making it a cinch even on the hardest difficulty. Skill Points in general, besides the three that require you to play at Exterminator difficulty, can be done on any difficulty level. Needless to say, the lowest one makes any of them much easier. | |

Villain with Good Publicity: Ace Hardlight, the star "hero" on DreadZone, who is one of the game's primary villains — but in an aversion of this trope, he lacks the publicity that the show's producers desperately want, with most of the audience cheering for Ratchet instead. | |

One-Hit Polykill | |
Ratchet: Deadlocked (Video Game) / int_88e5fcbc | comment |
The Fusion/Anti-matter rifle is intented to be used as a sniper rifle, but as the game shows its crosshairs even when the scope is not in use it can be used in regular combat. Insomniac probably believed players would use it while standing still, and made it deal massive damage and penetrate targets to balance it out - needless to say, being able to run and jump around while blasting enemies with it makes it much more useful than it first appears to be. | |

Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: The Eviscerator gets noticeably less character establishment than the other Exterminators. Other than the implication he's VERY Ax-Crazy, we really don't learn much about him. He's even the only one to lack Boss Banter. The announcers do mention he's a great chef, though, and the official strategy guide implies there was an Eloquent in My Native Tongue theme going for him. | |

Absurdly High Level Cap | |
Ratchet: Deadlocked (Video Game) / int_91526ff7 | comment |
Absurdly High Level Cap: Well, not level per se, but since Ratchet's HP upgrades by gaining experience, it counts. While getting 100 during first gameplay is possible, try getting 999 during subsequent playthroughs. Weapons as well. The highest level achievable by a weapon in the past two games were four and eight, respectively, including challenge mode. In Deadlocked, weapons can reach level ten on a first playthrough, and Lv. 99 in challenge mode. To be fair, those last 88 levels do come more quickly individually than the first 11, but still... (Later games would cap out at level ten, stylized as "Lv. X".) The game allows you to hold a whopping 99,999,999 bolts, far, far more than you would ever need to complete the game. Even with bolt mods equipped, it takes a truly ludicrous amount of time to even get close to holding that many of them. | |

Last Disc Magic: The Miniturret Launcher, which is acquired very late into the game, is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, and also one of the easiest to upgrade. Time-Bomb Omega Mod is also unlocked rather late and is arguably the best one for some weapons. | |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Oddly averted - Vox sticks by Ace and keeps trying to push Ace Hardlight merchandise even after it's become apparent that his popularity is tanking and Ratchet's is skyrocketing. He even tries to sabotage Ratchet's image by having Vox News run a (poorly-done) smear campaign against him. Literally the only time Vox ever even considers making Ratchet the new face of DreadZone is when Ace dies. | |

We Will Not Use Photoshop in the Future: Played for Laughs. As part of DreadZone's increasingly transparent smear campaign against him, newscasters Dallas and Juanita blatantly doctor photos to make it look like Ratchet is taking part in various misdeeds, such as being a gangster or using banned performance enhancing drugs to cheat in their tournaments. In one of their photos, you can clearly see the tape attaching the cutout of Ratchet's head onto it, and one is just a picture of Clank with devil horns and a goatee scribbled onto it. | |

"Not So Different" Remark | |
Ratchet: Deadlocked (Video Game) / int_984ef9ef | comment |
"Not So Different" Remark: Vox mentions that Ratchet reminds him of a young Acenote both started as idealistic orphans who aspired to become great heroes. Ace helped a hero group regain publicity, but the loss of his home planet drove him into cynicism. Ratchet almost went down the same path after Qwark's betrayal, only to stop after seeing what became of Oltanis, and save Veldin from the same fate as Bolden 3. Ace does not appreciate the remark. | |

Continuity Nod | |
Ratchet: Deadlocked (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Theres a couple nods to the original game. The first DreadZone commercial has a Tyhrranoid turning into a Psytopus enemy from Pokitaru, and Vox namedrops the Blarg in the same commercial. Orxon also reappears as a DreadZone course. Going Commando gets a few nods too. Vox uses a payload of Megacorp Blade Balls as mooks for you to fight. The Miniturret Launcher is mentioned to be plagiarized from the Miniturret Glove. Both Al and Captain Starshield are shown having an unupgraded Lancer in their possession. There are a lot of nods to Up Your Arsenal. Shellshock is mentioned to have taken part in the Obani Moon Wars, and Dallas mentions that he should've gotten a job at Annihilation Nation. Courtney Gears' encounter with Ratchet and Clank is brought up, and Al does a jig to her "Death to Squishies" song. Merc mentions owning a VG-9000 game console. Hydro Girl is mentioned to come from Aquatos. Dr. Nefarious and Lawrence get a cameo appearance in the post-credits cutscene, still stuck on an asteroid. While series trademark weapon R.Y.N.O. doesn't appear here, it is mentioned in Harbinger's description as being Vox Industries' answer to it. | |

Fame Gate: Progressing through the game requires two things: medals and Dread Points. While the medals are rewarded just for completing each location's campaign, Dread Points are earned from doing the otherwise optional Dread Challenges - that said, the Dread Points stick around into Challenge Mode, unlike the medals, so you can usually skip the challenges on the second/third/etc. go-around if you don't feel like doing them. | |

Mood Whiplash: In the prologue, Ratchet wakes up at DreadZone station stuck in an uncomfortable suit of armor, is told that the collar he's wearing will blow his head off if he doesn't cooperate... and then, almost immediately starts fantasizing about the "money and babes" that the gladiators get and has to be brought down to reality by Clank, followed by a scene where Big Al *ahem* dances to the tune of "Death to Squishies" from the previous game. Needless to say, it's pretty jarring. | |

Blood Knight: Ace Hardlight and, amusingly, Ratchet. Our hero is really stoked to have a shot of the Gladiator life and is clearly enjoying himself throughout the game. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
Ratchet: Deadlocked (Video Game) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Clank, who was turned to an NPC in accordance with the change of gameplay style for this game. The game's title even acknowledges this by dropping Clank's name altogether. Captain Qwark, who had significant roles in the past three games, only makes a voice over cameo in the ending and gets a character epilogue pic with Scrunch the monkey. Per word of Mike Stout, this was an intentional move on the dev teams part, since they feared players would get burned out on Qwark if he had a big role yet again, so he was put on the backburner for this one game. | |

Stopped Numbering Sequels: In Europe, at least, since the last two games lost their subtitles and gained a number. More noticeable in the trophy list on PS3, which simply calls the second game Ratchet & Clank 2 (even if you're in the US) and adds a 3 to Up Your Arsenal. | |

Some Skill Points require you to kill certain enemies with certain weapons or in a certain time. Problem, you aren't told what enemies are what, so that means either checking the stats menu every time you kill something or just using the internet. | |

Harder Than Hard: Exterminator Difficulty. Let's just say that there's a very good reason you have to beat the game at least once to unlock it, because it does not let up on you if you aren't beefed up on all the weapon upgrades and mods. Making matters worse is that beating every challenge in this mode is mandatory for 100% completion. | |

Death of a Thousand Cuts | |
Ratchet: Deadlocked (Video Game) / int_cadf2d2a | comment |
Death of a Thousand Cuts: The Dual Vipers are a "quantity over quality" weapon (the instruction manual even refers to them as this), and eventually they'll take hundreds of bullets to kill huge enemies. They get better in Challenge Mode, though and can be modded to have additional effects. The Mini-Turret Launcher, since the turrets spray enemies with tons of bullets. Its upgraded form, the Quasar-Turret Launcher, shoots large lasers instead. | |

No Scope | |
Ratchet: Deadlocked (Video Game) / int_ce7fe38e | comment |
Speaking of which, the Fusion Rifle itself counts, with or without the Freeze Mod. While a tad pricey, it deals jaw dropping damage out of the gate and becomes one of the strongest weapons in the game with upgrades, works just as well as a normal weapon as a long range weapon due to its accuracy, and it can one-shot pretty much any foe outside of an Executioner, and even those guys can be mowed down in one or two hits. Its only real handicaps are its low ammo capacity and slow rate of fire. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
Ratchet: Deadlocked (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: The game relies on Instant-Win Condition for the challenges—even if Ratchet dies just after finishing a challenge, it'll count as a victory and he won't have to start over. If you die enough times on Hero Difficulty, the game will remind you that you can lower the difficulty by simply reloading your save file. Players who are used to the controls of the previous games have the option of switching to the classic control style instead of using Deadlocked's default Lock-Strafe controls. Bolt Cranks stay locked after being completed, keeping players from having to waste time completing the whole level all over again after dying. Boss fights automatically max out your ammo to ensure that you have a fair fight against them. Challenge Mode gives you a Bolt Multiplier off the bat to make it easier for players to buy the very expensive Mega Weapons and Alpha Mods. Most vehicle levels provide a starting platform where you can repair any damage the vehicle takes as much as you need. | |

Hate Sink: Ace Hardlight, who somehow manages to be even more loathsome than the bloodthirsty Gleeman Vox. He's an arrogant, cocky, cold blooded and sadistic scumbag who willingly sold out his heroism to Vox, all for the thrill of fame and fortune and the chance to kill or maim whoever he wanted for kicks. He has absolutely nothing remotely likable or humurous about his personality—everyone in universe hates him, even his own boss, who can't even give away his merchandise. Even his Jacob Marley Warning does nothing to mitigate how vile and unlikable he is. When Ratchet (supposedly) kills him, absolutely nobody mourns his loss. | |

Brick Joke: After the credits, Dr. Nefarious and Lawrence, marooned on a distant asteroid in the last game, are shown drifting through space through the ruins of the Battledome. Nefarious gets angry and malfunctions, playing his famous soap opera. Another one: the 'Leaderboard' that shows contestant rankings, and their status as 'active' or 'deceased', is updated throughout the game. By the end, Kid Nova and Hydrogirl are the only two, besides Ratchet, that are still listed as alive. Both of them get voiced dialogue in the final cutscene, thanking you for shutting down DreadZone and freeing them. The only other survivor listed is Agent Zero, but perhaps he is not seen as he is a Shout-Out to an earlier Insomniac project. What happens to Al in this game... his very first line in the first game is that he is not a robot guy, but he is now (well, partly). | |
