Valve's commitment to Deadlock continues, even without a rigid update schedule. The latest patch isn't a huge overhaul, but it's significantly more than a minor adjustment. Detailed patch notes are available on the official forums.

Following the January 18th introduction of four new heroes, balance tweaks were swiftly implemented. Holliday's Crackshot ability now affects units, halving its cooldown in those instances. Calico's Ava ability gains the capacity 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 and movement speed were reduced (from 810 to 740 and 9 to 8 respectively). In total, 11 heroes, including the recent additions, were impacted by these targeted changes.
Deadlock remains in closed beta, boasting a steady online player base fluctuating between 7,000 and 20,000 players.
