Souls are the main form of currency and XP in Deadlock, and in our previous Souls article, we discussed how important earning Souls is in the game. In our previous guide, we mentioned the topic of Unsecured Souls, which is one of the 2 forms of Souls you can earn.
In this guide, we will discuss how to earn Unsecured Souls and what you can do with them, but first, we need to discuss what they are. Unsecured Souls count towards your total Soul count, allowing you to buy items and level up. When buying items, Unsecured Souls are used last, so if you have any Souls, they will be used first before digging into the Unsecured Souls.
These Souls are obviously unsecured, so if you die, you lose them all, but they gradually become secured. The more Souls you have unsecured, the quicker they tick over. If you have over 150, then you will drop them in a Soul Container, while anything below this number is gone forever. You can get the Soul Container by hitting it with a heavy melee attack.
You can see where players have been killed and where their Soul Container is on the minimap, and it looks something like this.
How to Earn Unsecured Souls
You will earn Unsecured Souls by killing Denizens, Deadlocks’ form of neutral or jungle camps. You can also earn them by destroying Sinner’s Sacrifice machines, and some heroes, like 
Vindicta, can earn additional Unsecured Souls. You'll naturally pick up a lot of Unsecured Souls without trying, so I wouldn't really focus to heavily on them.
If you’re not playing Vindicta or farming the neutral camps, then another way of earning Unsecured Souls is by destroying Breakables. Breakables have objects in them, which have a chance to drop Unsecured Souls or minor buffs. The amount of Unsecured Souls you get increases as the game develops. When moving around the map, and from lane to lane, it could be worth destroying or shooting all these boxes and getting the buffs or Souls that get dropped for them, as this will increase your income and make you a bigger threat!

More Information
Unsecured Souls are really impactful, and they do add up over time! I would highly advise breaking the crates etc as the game goes along, as you might be surprised on how much additional Souls you can earn over time! It is really important that you try to earn as much as you can as this helps you get your items quicker, and provides you with XP and levels!
To see how many Unsecured Souls you have, look in the bottom left-hand corner: they’re next to your normal Souls. If you have loads and loads of Unsecured Souls, then you might want to play a bit safer until some of them have ticked over so you don’t lose them all if you happen to die.
