Valve's commitment to Deadlock continues, even without a rigid update schedule. The recent patch, while not a major overhaul, introduces significant balance changes. A comprehensive list of alterations can be found on the game's forum.

Following the January 18th introduction of four new heroes, swift balance adjustments were implemented. 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.
Veteran heroes also received attention: Kelvin's health is boosted from 600 to 650. Vendicta's bullet speed is lowered (810 to 740), and her movement speed reduced (nine to eight). In total, eleven heroes, including the newcomers, experienced targeted modifications.
Deadlock remains in closed beta, maintaining a healthy online player base fluctuating between 7,000 and 20,000 concurrent players.
