Patch Notes 04-17-2025 Update
Trendingtrending_up
Summary
This patch introduces significant balance adjustments across various game mechanics and hero abilities in Deadlock. Wave intervals have been increased, and Guardian stats have been tweaked. Trooper AI has received numerous fixes, improving navigation, target prioritization, and behavior around obstacles. Many items have seen their stats adjusted, with reductions in damage, healing, or resistances. Hero abilities and base stats have also been rebalanced, affecting damage output, cooldowns, and resource management for multiple characters. These changes aim to refine the overall gameplay experience and ensure a more balanced competitive environment.
[ General ]

- First urn is now considered for comeback mechanics (15% NW delta)
- Urn now has a visual indication on the model to indicate if its a side favored pickup
- Urn will no longer wait indefinitely for someone nearby to pick him up. He'll ignore loiterers after 20 seconds in aggregate and start running back home
