Deadlock Update Introduces Six New Heroes and Hero Labs Mode

Valve's latest patch for Deadlock brings significant changes, including new heroes and a testing mode for players with over 50 games played.

Six new heroes—Holliday, Calico, Wrecker, Fathom, Viper, and Magician—are now available in the Hero Labs mode for testing.
Hero Labs is a new matchmaking mode allowing players to try out unfinished heroes and provide feedback on their design.
Players need at least 50 games played to access Hero Labs, which is available for limited hours each day.
Alongside new heroes, the patch includes a major visual overhaul, bug fixes, and balance changes affecting existing heroes.
The update aims to refine Deadlock as it progresses towards leaving its Alpha stage, with ongoing adjustments expected.
