Following the January 18th introduction of four new heroes, balance tweaks were implemented. Holliday's Crackshot ability now affects units, halving its cooldown when doing so. Calico's Ava ability can now destroy objects during its activation.

Several existing heroes also received adjustments. Kelvin's health increased (600 to 650), while Vendicta's bullet speed (810 to 740) and movement speed (9 to 8) were reduced. In total, 11 heroes, including the new additions, were impacted.

Deadlock remains in closed beta, boasting a stable online player base of 7,000 to 20,000 players.
