Valve continues to deliver updates for Deadlock, even without a fixed release schedule. The latest patch isn't huge, but it's far from insignificant, featuring substantial balance adjustments. A complete changelog is available on the game's forum.

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 can now destroy objects during its activation.

Existing heroes also received attention: Kelvin's health increased to 650 (from 600), Vendicta's bullet speed reduced to 740 (from 810), and her movement speed lowered to eight (from nine). In total, eleven heroes, including the newly added ones, received targeted balance adjustments.

Deadlock remains in closed beta, boasting a consistent online player count between 7,000 and 20,000 players.
