Deadlock Update: Balance Adjustments and Damage Refinements

Valve's commitment to Deadlock continues, even without a rigid update schedule. Their latest patch isn't monumental, but it's a substantial update, not just a minor adjustment. A comprehensive changelog is available on the game's forums.

Following the January 18th introduction of four new heroes, balance tweaks swiftly followed. Holliday's Crackshot ability now affects units, halving its cooldown when doing so. Calico's Ava ability gains the power to destroy objects during its activation.

Existing heroes also received adjustments: Kelvin's health is boosted from 600 to 650, while Vendicta's bullet speed is lowered from 810 to 740, and her movement speed reduced from 9 to 8. In total, 11 heroes, including the recent additions, have been fine-tuned.

Deadlock remains in closed beta, boasting a steady online player base fluctuating between 7,000 and 20,000 players.
