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

Four new heroes debuted on January 18th, followed swiftly by balance adjustments. 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 tweaks: 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, 11 heroes, including the newcomers, were impacted.
The game remains in closed beta, boasting a stable online player base of 7,000 to 20,000 players.
