As a long-time follower of Deadlock since its inception, I must admit that this latest patch has certainly piqued my interest. The tweaks to Shiv, Bebop, and Seven are particularly noteworthy, as they were characters I’ve had a soft spot for from the get-go. The increased range on Shiv’s Killing Blow and the easier Rage gain will undoubtedly make him more formidable in combat.
During the ongoing closed beta testing, Valve has been making significant adjustments to Deadlock, which is worth noting. This week, the game saw improvements in characters such as Shiv, Seven, and Bebop, making them more formidable. On the other hand, McGinnis and Grey Talon underwent a blend of changes. Surprisingly, characters like Mirage, Viscous, and Lash were not altered at all in this update.
Deadlock October 27, 2024 Update patch notes
In a recent forum post, Deadlock’s lead developer Yoshi disclosed details about Deadlock’s latest update accumulation this week. The post mainly focused on enhancements made to two characters – Shiv and Bebop. For Shiv, his ultimate ability now has an extended casting range, while his Rage ability, which amplifies all of his skills, is now simpler to obtain and depletes at a slower pace. Intriguing times might be ahead for players who have been creating combos with Bebop’s pull, bomb, and uppercut, as he has received several adjustments to his bomb stacking capabilities. Seven’s ultimate now inflicts more damage, making him potentially more formidable in open areas during battles. Below you can find the full rundown of the modifications made to the game:
