Deadlock’s July 1 tune-up puts Shiv in the spotlight
Valve reduced Shiv's alt-fire ammo cost, fixed his pellet spread, and trimmed the Tier 3 bonus on Killing Blow.
Valve’s July 1 Deadlock minor update centered almost entirely on Shiv, trimming ammo cost, locking in his pellet spread, and scaling back the Tier 3 bonus on Killing Blow.
It also follows Valve’s June 30 update, which reworked King of the Hill into Unstable Rift and changed how that event starts.
Patch Notes
Here is the full set of notes from the July 1 update. The adjustments all point in one direction, with Shiv’s weapon and damage kit getting the bulk of the attention.

- Shiv: Weapon now has fixed pellet spread
- Shiv: Slice and Dice is now back to doing spirit damage and reducing Spirit Resistance from enemies
- Shiv: Slice and Dice damage increased from 60 to 75
