Rems greatest advantage in deadlock is his ability to roam across the map. To the point where he even has access to the sewer system that only a few character in the game have access to. Use the sewers to increase your box routes, increase your survivability, and even path safe routes when stealing the enemy sinners. Always try and take the enemies sinners before you take your teams sinners, if you don't, you'll likely end up stealing important farm from your teamates that would otherwise help the overall team DPS rather than the 3k souls that the "Rem Heals" would have had.
