Valve continues to provide regular updates to Deadlock, despite abandoning a fixed release schedule. The 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 forum.

Four new heroes were added on January 18th, followed swiftly by balance changes. Holliday's Crackshot ability now affects units, halving its cooldown when doing so. Calico's Ava ability can now destroy objects she passes through.
Existing heroes also received adjustments: Kelvin's health increased (600 to 650), Vendicta's bullet speed decreased (810 to 740), and her movement speed reduced (9 to 8). In total, eleven heroes, including the newcomers, were tweaked.
Deadlock remains in closed beta, boasting a steady online player base of 7,000 to 20,000 players.
