Deadlock Introduces Six Experimental Heroes in Latest Update
New Heroes, Changed Names, and Reused Skills for the Roster
Valve's highly anticipated MOBA shooter, Deadlock, launched in mid-2024 and has consistently ranked as Steam’s Most Wishlisted game. While weekly updates have maintained player engagement, the "10-24-2024" patch marks a major milestone by introducing six new heroes for players to explore.
The newly added characters—Calico, Fathom (formerly Slork), Holliday (referred to as Astro in skill descriptions), Magician, Viper, and Wrecker—are currently exclusive to the Hero Sandbox mode. They are not yet available in casual or ranked PvP matches. Although their kits have been implemented, some abilities remain placeholder duplicates; for instance, Magician’s ultimate ability is currently identical to Paradox’s Paradoxical Swap.
Review the table below to get an early look at each character's role and playstyle on the battlefield!
| Hero | Description |
|---|---|
| Calico | An agile, stealthy mid-to-frontline hero built to strike from hiding while remaining elusive. |
| Fathom | A short-range burst assassin optimized for aggressive dives and eliminating key targets rapidly. |
| Holliday | A mid-to-long-range DPS/Assassin who leverages headshots and explosives to devastate foes from a distance. |
| Magician | A tactical, long-range DPS capable of curving projectiles, teleporting, and swapping positions with allies or enemies. |
| Viper | A mid-to-long-range burst assassin who envenoms bullets to deal damage over time before petrifying enemy groups. |
| Wrecker | A mid-to-close range brawler that engages troopers and NPCs, converting them into scrap and projectiles for skills. |
