The latest Deadlock update, released on May 27, 2025, brings several gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and map enhancements. These changes might seem subtle but could affect how players approach base defense and map control in matches.
One notable change is the rescaling of breakable souls, which start at 23 and increase by 2.6 per minute, down from 28.5 to 2.375 per minute. This tweak may slightly shift pacing in resource management. Trooper resistance near the base has also been lowered from 40% to 35%, which could make early attacks a bit easier to execute.
Several bugs have been addressed, including a strange issue where the Urn item could be carried invisibly by heroes when thrown in certain spots like air vents—definitely a quirky glitch that needed fixing. Also, neutrals near the base no longer gain the trooper resistance buff incorrectly, which should improve balance around base areas.
Patch Notes
- – Breakable souls rescaled from 28.5 + 2.375/min to 23 + 2.6/min
- – Trooper resistance near base reduced from 40% to 35%
- – Fixed a bug where Urn can be invisibly carried on the hero by throwing it in certain areas like the air vents
- – Fixed Neutrals near the base gaining the “near base” trooper resist
- – Added news kiosk structure in between Mid Lane Walker and base entrance
- – Added wall partition structures outside of Outer Lane base entrances
- – Improved lighting in Mid Boss area
Map updates include a new news kiosk structure between the Mid Lane Walker and the base entrance, adding a fresh tactical element to that zone. Wall partitions outside the Outer Lane base entrances have been added, which might influence movement and cover options. Plus, lighting improvements in the Mid Boss area could help players spot enemies more clearly during intense fights.
Have you noticed any of these changes in your recent matches? I’m curious if the slight reduction in trooper resistance near the base has impacted your strategies. What about that invisible Urn bug—did it ever catch you off guard? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
