Valve continues to deliver updates for Deadlock, even without a fixed release schedule. The latest patch isn't huge, but it's far from insignificant, addressing balance issues across multiple heroes. A complete changelog is available on the game's forum.

Following the January 18th introduction of four new heroes, adjustments were swiftly implemented. Holliday's Crackshot ability now affects units, halving its cooldown when doing so. Calico's Ava ability can now destroy objects during its activation.

Existing heroes also received tweaks: Kelvin's health increased from 600 to 650, while Vendicta's bullet speed was reduced from 810 to 740, and her movement speed lowered from nine to eight. In total, eleven heroes, including the recently added ones, received targeted balance changes.

Deadlock remains in closed beta, boasting a consistent online player count between 7,000 and 20,000 players.
