Deadlock October 24 Patch Notes

New Hero Labs For Testing Unreleased Heroes

Hero Labs, a new experimental matchmaking mode, has been introduced in the Deadlock patch notes for October 24. In this mode, six newunreleased heroes:Holliday, Calico, Wrecker, Fathom, Viper, and Magician(temporary names) are added. This mode aims to gather valuable player feedback on hero design during their early development stages.

Many heroes in Hero Labs will have placeholder models, names, effects, and abilities, reflecting their incomplete state. However, some heroes with more advanced development may showcase more refined artwork. To facilitate feedback, a dedicated Hero Labs section will be available on the forum.

Please note that the roster of heroes in this mode will be subject to frequent changes, with heroes being added, removed, and reintroduced as development progresses. Patch notes detailing these changes will be posted on the Hero Labs subforum.

Due to limited testing hours, the developers encourage players with at least 50 games played to join Hero Labs to ensure faster queue times. If a new hero is not assigned to you in a match, you will be prioritized for subsequent matches to receive a new hero from your roster selection.

General Changes

Misc Gameplay

Massive Urn Changes

TheSpirit Urnwill now drain your health by 1% of your maximum HP per second if it’s not delivered within 90 seconds of picking it up. This timer is shared by your team, and your health regeneration is disabled during this time. If you drop the Urn after 90 seconds, it will immediately start moving back to its spawn point and cannot be picked up again by your team for 12 seconds. The Urn will move back to its spawn point at a faster speed after the October 24 Deadlock patch notes.
