As Valve continues to fine-tune Deadlock through its closed beta, the game has received a number of notable tweaks that warranted a proper set of patch notes this week. Shiv is more dangerous, as are Seven and Bebop, while McGinnis and Grey Talon got some mixed changes. Interestingly enough, characters like Mirage, Viscous, and Lash were altogether left out.

Deadlock lead developer Yoshi shared the details on Deadlock’s latest accumulated updates in a forum post this week. Shiv’s rage was a main subject of this one. His ultimate just got an extra meter of distance it can be cast from, and his Rage that powers up all of his abilities is now easier to gain and drains less quickly. Bebop got a number of changes to his bomb stacking abilities that could mean interesting times ahead for the combos players have been doing with his pull, bomb, and uppercut. Seven’s ultimate now does more damage, which should make him a bit more dreadful to fight in open spaces. Read on below for the full and specific changes to the game:
