Valve's commitment to Deadlock continues, even without a rigid update schedule. The recent patch, while not enormous, introduces significant changes. A comprehensive list of modifications is available on the game's forum.

Following the January 18th introduction of four new heroes, balance adjustments swiftly followed. Holliday's Crackshot ability now affects units, halving its cooldown when doing so. Calico's Ava ability gains the capacity to destroy objects during traversal.
Veteran heroes also received attention: Kelvin's health is boosted from 600 to 650, while Vendicta experiences nerfs to both bullet speed (reduced from 810 to 740) and movement speed (decreased from nine to eight). In total, eleven heroes, including the newcomers, underwent targeted modifications.
Deadlock remains in closed beta, maintaining a healthy online player base consistently fluctuating between 7,000 and 20,000 players.
