Deadlock's "10-24-2024" Update: Six New Heroes Join the Fray

New Heroes and Skill Refinements

Deadlock, consistently ranking high on Steam's most wishlisted games, continues to captivate players with its regular updates. The recent update marks a substantial leap forward, introducing six new heroes currently accessible in the Hero Sandbox mode. These heroes – Calico, Fathom (previously known as Slork), Holliday (also referred to as Astro in-game), Magician, Viper, and Wrecker – are not yet featured in standard PvP matches. Note that some skills are still under development and may temporarily utilize placeholder abilities from existing heroes (e.g., Magician's ultimate shares similarities with Paradox's).

The table below provides a sneak peek at the roles and playstyles of these exciting new characters:

Hero	Description
Calico	A nimble, stealthy mid-to-frontline hero, excelling in unseen flanking maneuvers.
Fathom	A short-range burst assassin, ideal for swift takedowns of key targets in close-quarters combat.
Holliday	A mid-to-long-range DPS/Assassin specializing in precision headshots and explosive weaponry.
Magician	A tactical, long-range DPS capable of projectile manipulation, teleportation, and positional swapping with allies and enemies.
Viper	A mid-to-long-range burst assassin who inflicts poison damage over time, culminating in enemy petrification.
Wrecker	A mid-to-close range brawler who utilizes environmental objects and troopers to create devastating projectiles.
