Deadlock receives another surprise update from Valve, this time focusing on balance adjustments for four heroes and item tweaks. This marks the fifth update of 2025 and the first for February, reflecting Valve's shift to a more dynamic update schedule based on ongoing needs.
Calico suffered significant nerfs. Her Return to Shadows ability now has a ten-second longer cooldown, and 20% of its speed boost has been moved to tier 2. The damage of her tier 2 Leaping Slash has also been reduced.
Sinclair received visual enhancements with updated sounds and animations, and his Rabbit Hex ability has been reworked into an area-of-effect (AoE) attack. Holliday and Wraith also experienced nerfs, though specifics weren't detailed.
Item changes include a reduction in stacks and removal of the health bonus from Ammo Scavenger. Extra Stamina and Restorative Shot no longer boost fire rate and weapon damage, respectively.
