Valve's commitment to Deadlock continues, even without a rigid update schedule. Their latest patch isn't a huge overhaul, but it's significantly more than a minor adjustment. A comprehensive changelog is available on the game's forums.

Following the January 18th introduction of four new heroes, balance tweaks quickly followed. Holliday's Crackshot ability now affects units, halving its cooldown when doing so. Calico's Ava ability has been enhanced to destroy objects during its activation.
Existing heroes also received adjustments: Kelvin's health increased (600 to 650), Vendicta's bullet speed and movement speed were reduced (810 to 740, and 9 to 8 respectively). In total, eleven heroes, including the new additions, saw targeted modifications.
Deadlock remains in closed beta, boasting a stable online player base consistently between 7,000 and 20,000 players.
