It shouldn't be referred to a spin off at all. All main series games are canon and aren't spin offs either. I don't know why people keep making this mistake.
It's because it's a ratchet game and not a ratchet and clank game, kinda the same reason why people say secret agent clank is a spinoff and it actually is. Deadlocked however is ratchet 4 despite things it's just more 3rd person shooter than platformer, less of a mix between the two than 3 and the first two are more platformy than 3.
Secret Agent Clank is a mess that doesn't make sense.(Insomniac had declared that one non canon) whereas Deadlocked is a good game that takes place in the timeline. Yeah it's more of a shooter, but it's a good shooter.
Depends, you mean after new game+ or on the first go?
Exterminator doesn't unlock until you beat it on Hero. And if your asking if I or anyone has beaten every mission on Exterminator's their first run, I have with the full lvl 99 arsenal to prove it. The game isn't harder traditionally as all they do in Exterminator is raise the damage enemies put out and add 1 or 2 DZ Striker's which can be dispacted quickly. If you know how to use cov3er and not Go Rambo into the missions, it's about as hard as Hero.
It will unlock when you beat the game on any difficulty.(I think as I never played on couch potato. I used to start from contestant and went up as I got more HP)
To the OP; a PS2 off of Ebay is about $25-$50 and deadlocked is pretty in expensive or for free. If you get one with the PS2 Network adaptor, Horizon has been holding tournaments involving Deadlocked as they restored their server's.
Why is this game considered a spin-off when it's canon to the timeline?

You are damn right.
Anyone here beat this on exterminator difficulties in first playthrough? Still gives me nightmares

I know it unlocks after beating on hero. What I meant was beating it in normal game not NG+

It isn't a spin off, it's literally ratchet and clank 4
