'''Hedlok''' is a boss character in several modes in ''[[ARMS (game)|ARMS]]''. Notably, it has six [[ARMS (extendable)|ARMS]] (two different types, with three copies of each) when fought, being the only character in-universe to have such a distinction.
{{FeaturedIcon}}'''Hedlok''' is the secondary antagonist of ''[[ARMS (game)|ARMS]]''. When fought, it attaches itself to a fighter and uses its six [[ARMS (extendable)|ARMS]] in total to unleash devastating attacks.

[[File:HedlokFull.jpg|thumb|left|Hedlok's entire appearance.]]
Hedlok resembles a metallic mask with a large mouth, having four ARMS, two on either side of it. Its body appears to change into the form of a random fighter, gaining their abilities and control of the fighter's two extendable ARMS in the process. Hedlok also notably has [[Spiraled irises|spiraled irises.]] He is affected by [[items]] just like normal fighters, allowing him to be damaged or healed.
Hedlok was created by ARMS Laboratories as part of their "Wearable Weapons" project, the purpose of which was to create powerful sparring partners for fighters to hone their skills against. It is the follow-up to a prototype armor of sorts that fit over the body, which can still be seen in the background of the [[DNA Lab]] stage;<ref>https://twitter.com/armsfan_eng/status/881741121298223104</ref> however, [[Dr. Coyle]], the overseer of the project, believed that ordinary humans would not be able to effectively control all the [[ARMS (equipment)|ARMS]] the prototype offered, so Hedlok was constructed instead, with the ability to override the mind of its wearer.<ref>https://twitter.com/armsfan_eng/status/882930490520371201</ref> A partially assembled prototype of Hedlok can be seen in [[NAME REDACTED|[NAME REDACTED]]].
==In VS Hedlok==
 
[[File:HedlokControl.jpg|thumb|Hedlok possessing [[Byte & Barq|Byte.]]]]
Upon activation, Hedlok became self-aware, escaped containment, and went on a rampage; though possessing a mind of its own, its objectives are unclear.
Hedlok is the namesake of the VS Hedlok mode and the primary opponent players must fight against in it. It can use any combination of fighter and [[ARMS (equipment)|ARMS]].
 
<br>
Hedlok is a metallic mask with a large mouth lined with yellow teeth, and two ARMS protruding from either side of it. It has no body but clamps onto the heads of other fighters to take control of them. Its glowing red eyes have spiraled irises. The level 8 Hedlok in the fifth [[Party Crash]] and beyond is gold instead of silver, has green eyes instead of red ones, and silver teeth instead of gold.
 
When fighting Hedlok, it will fight with all six of its ARMS (Two sets of three, with each ARM on one side being of the same kind). Because of this, players who attempt to attack it recklessly will wind up having their punch deflected by one of its ARMS and being hit by another, making Hedlok extremely difficult to damage. Similarly, it performs three [[Grab|grabs]] (one for each pair of ARMS) when executing one command.
 
== Abilities ==
Hedlok's most prominent feature is the fact wearers of the contraption are granted 4 additional ARMS on top of the two a user would normally have. On top of this change, a use's grab and [[Rush]] are both modified to an attack unique to Hedlok. When grabbing, three series of grabs will be thrown out and the grab attack itself will be a rapid flurry of consecutive punches which will deal a total of 200 damage to the player grabbed.
 
Rather than unleashing a barrage of attacks with its ARMS, its Rush attack is unique:  it fires a large energy blast from its mouth that barrels forward at high speed before exploding, capable of dealing more than 500 damage if the player is hit by all of it. Like other Rush attacks, it can be blocked but the speed of the energy blast makes the timing for a block difficult.
 
Typically, Hedlok's punches will follow whatever direction its host punches, however unique to co-op Grand Prix and iterations of Hedlok seen in [[VS Hedlok]], Hedlok will turn his head in different directions and punches each ARM with his free will, so he could engage 2 to 3 players with separate arms.
Uniquely, in solo [[Grand Prix]], Hedlok is just attached to [[Max Brass]] or [[Dr. Coyle]] with their signature ARMs. Take out a normal fight in 1000 HP, with faster rush gauge only. The fighter's arm must punch first, the corresponding arms will just follow.
 
When against 2 to 3 players, his health will double or triple & he gains super armor that prevents flinching & halves the damage he takes.
 
Certain character specific abilities will be restricted when equipped with Hedlok:
*When Hedlok is attached to [[Byte & Barq|Byte]], Barq is no longer present.
*When Hedlok is attached to [[Misango]], the guardian spirit disappears.
*When Hedlok is attached to [[Dr. Coyle]], she cannot activate her additional ARM.
 
== Modes ==
Hedlok appears in four different modes.
{{spoiler|
{{spoiler|
==In [[1-on-100]]==
=== In [[Grand Prix]] ===
Hedlok is the final opponent that must be fought in 1-on-100 mode.<ref>https://www.twitch.tv/videos/148704415</ref> It takes the form of a standard 1-on-100 enemy.
Hedlok is the final opponent in the Grand Prix mode after [[Max Brass]] from difficulty level 4 upwards. Upon defeating [[Max Brass|Max Brass]], Hedlok descends from above, brainwashing Max and triggering one final fight. Hedlok will have access to Max Brass's signature [[ARMS (equipment)|ARMS]] and will change them between rounds like other fighters.
 
The fight against Hedlok takes place in the [[Sky Arena]], like the previous fight before it. The fight will be a normal best 2 out of 3 fight with 1000 HP, with faster rush gauge only. However, it is different from previous fights in that it has no timer—each Round will continue until either the player or Hedlok is KO'd.
 
Upon defeating Hedlok, it is suddenly launched off of [[Max Brass]]'s body. Max appears dazed for a moment afterward but is otherwise unharmed, and flexes his muscles before the Awards Ceremony begins.
 
However, after Update [[Version 5.0.0]], upon reaching the finale from levels 6 and 7, Dr. Coyle will appear and knock Max Brass out, and the player will fight her instead. After Coyle is defeated, she will summon Hedlok herself, and will allow Hedlok to latch onto her, triggering the Grand Prix's final battle. After the two are defeated, Hedlok will deactivate. Dr. Coyle then takes off Hedlok, calls him "Useless!", and destroys him. Dr. Coyle says "I could've won" in frustration, then disappears, and Max Brass returns and flexes his muscles like in the ending for a lower difficulty, and the Awards Ceremony proceeds normally.
 
=== In [[1-on-100]] ===
Hedlok is the final opponent that must be fought in [[1-on-100]], <ref>https://www.twitch.tv/videos/148704415</ref> attaching itself to one of [[the Cell|The Cell]]. If the player is not at full health, a thermos of [[HP Juice]] will be dropped in for them to heal shortly before Hedlok's appearance.  Hedlok's [[ARMS (equipment)|ARMS]] will always be the first signature ARM of the fighter the player is using.

=== In [[VS Hedlok]] ===
[[File:HedlokControl.jpg|thumb|Hedlok possessing [[Byte & Barq|Byte]] at difficulty level ''5''.]]
Hedlok is the namesake of the [[VS Hedlok]] mode, seen in [[Party Match]], being the primary opponent players must fight against in it (up to three Fighters can take part). It can use any combination of fighter and [[ARMS (equipment)|ARMS]]. In order to win, it must be defeated before the timer runs out, even if it has less health than the players fighting it. It is affected by [[items]] just like normal fighters, allowing it to be damaged or healed, and it can use a special. The difficulty of the fight is linked to either difficulty level 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 from Grand Prix, as indicated next to its name. In the fifth Party Crash and beyond, a level 8 Hedlok can be encountered. He acts much like a regular Hedlok, but at a harder difficulty level. In addition, it’s extra four ARMS are perma-charged and his rush gauge charges very quickly.
=== In [[Hedlok Scramble]] ===
Introduced in [[Version 2.0.0]], [[Hedlok Scramble]] sees players fighting for control of a Hedlok mask in a capsule. Once a player receives Hedlok, they are able to control him while the other players fight them off.

==Trivia==
*Although Hedlok was officially revealed as part of the [[ARMS Global Testpunch]] on {{#dateformat:2017-06-02}}, it was [[Leaks#Hedlok leaks|leaked]] before its official reveal on a Twitch.tv stream.
*Hedlok’s name is likely a reference to a headlock, which is when a person’s arm is wrapped around another person’s neck, thus trapping them. It also references how he takes control of people, by locking onto their heads.
*Hedlok has three separate sets of victory poses—two used in Grand Prix mode, one where it stays attached to Max Brass and laughs triumphantly and one where it laughs while attached to [[Dr. Coyle]], added in 5.0.0. similarly to when it is attached to Max Brass, and one used in 1-on-100 and VS Hedlok where it detaches from the fighter it was using and flies towards the screen.
**This means Hedlok has the most victory animations out of all the fighters, at three.
***This is not counting [[Misango]]'s victory animations while having a mask active.
*In Grand Prix mode, Hedlok cannot be KO'd by the damage it receives from grazing one of its [[Explosion]] ARMS.
*The [[Lokjaw]] is based on Hedlok.
*Hedlok can accidentally damage itself from the 'blast' of the fireball rush move it unleashes if Hedlok is in close proximity when it unleashes the super move on a player, making it one of the rare few rushes that can damage itself with.
*While Hedlok launched itself off of Max Brass, it was simply removed and then destroyed, by Dr. Coyle.
**Even though Dr. Coyle destroys it, it comes back, due to the fact that it is a machine that can be fixed.
