Deadlock: Minor Update (Oct 14, 2026): what changed
Buff 13Nerf 13Adjust 1
TL;DRValve nerfs Baba across the board: longer cooldowns on Threadsap, Granny Long Legs and Baba's Brew, a weaker Baba's Brew barrier, lower Spirit Resistance scaling, a new -7% base bullet resistance and less mobility from Granny Long Legs. Deadman Danny gets big buffs to health, regen, gun damage, Chimera Mk1, Strix Salvo and Close the Deal, and the Radiant Regeneration item's Spirit scaling is trimmed.

Structured by Nerf Radar from the official notes (parsed automatically and reviewed by hand). Valve's lines that say a hero's ability stat increased or was reduced from one value to another were parsed deterministically; the remaining lines were curated by hand. Chimera Mk1's air slow is labeled adjust because the notes don't say whose movement it affects. Source: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1422450/view/1846651706676198 · fetched Oct 14, 2026.
