I logged onto Steam as we speak to search out Deadlock downloading a 683MB patch. Wondering what may that patch may comprise I regarded in Steam’s information feed for Deadlock, which is empty, and Steam’s “Events and Announcements” discussion board for Deadlock, which can be empty. Turns out the patch notes are being posted in a totally completely different discussion board which you’ll be able to solely entry by producing a password from the primary menu of Deadlock itself, which suggests a bizarre distaste for Steam’s official methods of disseminating patch notes coming from a recreation made by the individuals who make Steam.
Anyway, when you defeat the tiger who guards the basement the place Valve have hidden these patch notes, you may discover loads in them. The fundamental additions are designed to encourage extra vertical play, with a brand new wall soar transfer that does not price stamina, in addition to the addition of ropes across the map, which result in the rooftops and which you’ll be able to shoot from whereas climbing. Some of the buildings now have extra passages by way of higher flooring that result in rooftops as properly, and there are extra teleporters. It’s a great day to be a sniper.
Since many gamers had been shocked by Deadlock’s adherence to the MOBA mainstay of letting gamers pause the sport, that is now been patched too. Each participant can now pause only one time per match, and a group can pause thrice in complete. No extra pausing the sport so you’ll be able to stream a totally completely different recreation mid-match, you trolls.
Meanwhile, a brand new profile web page has been added with a breakdown of latest match statistics in addition to all-time stats, although a few of these counters will likely be ranging from zero—souls collected and therapeutic—irrespective of what number of hours you have managed to squeeze in throughout the Deadlock alpha to this point.
There are numerous different modifications, however lots of them are minor. For occasion, Monster Rounds have their bullet resistance in opposition to NPCs elevated from 30% to 35%, whereas Hollow Point Rounds have their spirit protect buff elevated from +80 to +85. If you’d wish to learn the total patch notes with out answering the puzzle grasp’s three riddles, right here they’re in full.
