Valve continues to provide regular updates to Deadlock, despite abandoning a fixed release schedule. The latest patch isn't huge, but it's a significant update, not just a minor adjustment. A complete changelog is posted on the game's forum.

Four new heroes were added on January 18th, followed swiftly by balance tweaks. 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 (nine to eight). In total, eleven heroes, including the new additions, were rebalanced.
Deadlock remains in closed beta, maintaining a player base consistently between 7,000 and 20,000 players.
