Valve's commitment to Deadlock continues, even without a rigid update schedule. The latest patch isn't a huge overhaul, but it's far from insignificant, addressing balance issues across multiple heroes. Detailed patch notes are available on the official forums.

Following the January 18th introduction of four new heroes, swift balance adjustments were implemented. Holliday's Crackshot ability now affects units, halving its cooldown when doing so. Calico's Ava ability now destroys objects during its activation.
Existing heroes also received tweaks. Kelvin's health increased (600 to 650), while Vendicta experienced nerfs to both bullet speed (810 to 740) and movement speed (9 to 8). In total, eleven heroes, including the newcomers, received targeted balance changes.
Deadlock remains in closed beta, boasting a healthy online player base consistently fluctuating between 7,000 and 20,000 players.
