Keep digging with the rest of the Deadlock meta: full item tier list, in-game shop layout, community builds, hero tier list and the patch behind this win rate.
Headshot Booster delivers 30 bonus health and 9s cooldown. These bonuses determine which heroes and builds below actually benefit from the slot, and why the win rates on certain heroes skew so far above or below the item's average.
Headshot Booster performs strongest on Dynamo (55.8% WR across 449,559 games), Seven (52.8% WR across 9,813 games), and Ivy (52.0% WR across 132,580 games). These heroes convert the item's stat bonuses into real win rate gains, usually because their kit scales linearly with the stats the item provides. If you play one of these heroes, this item belongs in your core build.
In terms of raw pickup volume, Headshot Booster shows up most on Dynamo (449,559 games), Lash (430,774 games), and Paradox (290,092 games). High pickup does not always mean high performance, so cross reference this list with the best heroes card above before blindly copying a build.
Headshot Booster is a base tier purchase with no prerequisites, so you can buy it directly from the shop without stacking components first. Headshot Booster upgrades into Headhunter, so picking it early sets up a direct path into a late game power spike instead of locking in a dead end purchase.
Headshot Booster sits at a 50.1% win rate and has barely moved over the last few weeks, which means the item is at its steady state pick rate in the current patch.
Headshot Booster performs roughly the same across every ranked bracket, so the build advice on this page holds from Initiate all the way up to Eternus.
