Deadlock, the highly anticipated MOBA shooter from Valve, continues to expand its roster. A few months after launch, six new experimental heroes have been added, offering players a fresh wave of gameplay options. This article delves into the details of these new additions, their unique skill sets, weapons, and compelling backstories.
Deadlock's Latest Update: Six Experimental Heroes Enter the Fray
Deadlock, consistently ranking high on Steam's most-wished-for games list since its mid-2024 release, receives a significant update (dated 10-24-2024). This update introduces six new playable characters, currently available exclusively in the Hero Sandbox mode. These heroes—Calico, Fathom (formerly known as Slork), Holliday (also referred to as Astro in some skill descriptions), Magician, Viper, and Wrecker—are not yet featured in casual or ranked PvP matches.
While each hero's skill set is complete, some abilities are temporary placeholders, mirroring existing skills from other heroes. For example, Magician's ultimate ability is a placeholder copy of Paradox's Paradoxical Swap.
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 specializing in unseen attacks and evasive maneuvers. |
| Fathom | A close-range burst assassin, ideal for swift takedowns of key targets during intense engagements. |
| Holliday | A mid-to-long-range DPS/Assassin who relies on precise headshots and explosive weaponry to eliminate foes from afar. |
| 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 close-to-mid-range brawler who utilizes troopers and NPCs, transforming them into scrap and projectiles for their abilities. |
