Deadlock, the highly anticipated MOBA shooter from Valve, has seen significant expansion since its release a few months ago. Six new heroes are now in development, adding to the already diverse roster. This article details these new additions, along with a comprehensive overview of existing hero skills, weapons, and backstories.

Deadlock's Latest Update: Six Experimental Heroes Enter the Fray

New Heroes, Name Changes, and Skill Sharing

Deadlock, launched in mid-2024, has consistently held a top spot on Steam's most wishlisted games. The recent "10-24-2024" update marks a major milestone, introducing six experimental heroes for players to explore within 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 available in standard PvP matches. While their full kits are implemented, some skills are temporary placeholders, using abilities from existing heroes (for example, Magician's ultimate currently mirrors Paradox's Paradoxical Swap).

The table below provides a sneak peek at each hero's current role and gameplay style:

Hero Description
Calico A nimble, stealthy mid-to-frontline hero, excelling in unseen flanking maneuvers.
Fathom A short-range assassin, specializing in swift, decisive attacks to eliminate key targets.
Holliday A mid-to-long-range DPS/Assassin, devastating foes with precise headshots and explosive weaponry.
Magician A tactical, long-range DPS capable of manipulating projectiles, teleporting, and swapping positions 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 troopers and NPCs as both weapons and projectiles.
