Valve's commitment to Deadlock continues, even without a rigid update schedule. The latest patch isn't a massive overhaul, but it's far from insignificant, delivering substantial refinements. A comprehensive list of changes can be found on the official forum.

Following the January 18th introduction of four new heroes, swift balance adjustments followed. Holliday's Crackshot ability now affects units, halving its cooldown in those instances. Calico's Ava ability gains the power to destroy objects during its activation.
Existing heroes also received attention. Kelvin's health is boosted from 600 to 650. Vendicta's bullet speed is reduced (810 to 740), as is her movement speed (nine to eight). In total, eleven heroes, including the newcomers, received targeted balance changes.
Deadlock remains in closed beta, boasting a consistently healthy online player count fluctuating between 7,000 and 20,000 players.
