Valve continues to provide regular updates to Deadlock, despite abandoning a fixed release schedule. The latest patch isn't enormous, but it's far from insignificant, with comprehensive details available on the game's forum.

Following the January 18th introduction of four new heroes, balance adjustments were swiftly implemented. Holliday's Crackshot ability now affects units, halving its cooldown in those instances. Calico's Ava ability can now destroy objects during its activation.
Existing heroes also received tweaks: Kelvin's health increased (600 to 650), Vendicta's bullet speed decreased (810 to 740), and her movement speed reduced (nine to eight). In total, eleven heroes, including the recent additions, were impacted.
Deadlock remains in closed beta, maintaining a steady online player base of 7,000 to 20,000.
