All sets in Dota 2’s Dead Reckoning Chests and how to get them

Dota 2’s long-awaited patch finally arrived on Mar. 6, adding a new hero, Muerta, to the roster, along with the Dead Reckoning event tied into her launch, balance changes, and more. The Dead Reckoning event allows players to obtain Dead Reckoning Chests and Keys and unlock event-themed sets, all of which have Festival of the Dead vibes.

Here’s everything you need to know, including how to obtain and unlock them, what sets they contain, and more.

How to get and unlock Dead Reckoning Chests in Dota 2

Getting Dead Reckoning Chests in Dota 2 is one thing, but unlocking them is another. The chests are obtained via the event-themed mini-game, while the keys to unlock them need to be purchased.

The premise of the event-themed mini-game is simple. At the start of every Dota 2 game, regardless of the mode, a player will have a designated enemy target. Killing them or assisting others in killing them grants Muerta’s Flowers, which can be exchanged for Dead Reckoning Chests.

Points are awarded as follows:

• One kill on the designated player yields two flowers
• One assist on the designated player yields one flower
• The player who has killed or assisted in killing the other more in the head-to-head battle will receive two bonus flowers
• Rewards are halved in Turbo

Initially, one chest costs two flowers, but this will increase the more chests a player unlocks. To unlock them players need Dead Reckoning Keys. Players start off with five free ones, but the rest need to be purchased in the shop for $2.49 or 20,000 shards.
