Deadlock updates change heroes, items, game modes, systems and bug behavior. The game is in development, so individual numbers and rules in a guide should be checked against its source revision and the latest patch notes. This page is an index to changes, not a complete replacement for the official notes.
Official notes are available on the Deadlock forums, on Steam and in the in-game News menu. The Deadlock Wiki’s Updates index also records some undocumented changes identified from developer messages or game-data diffs. Its update dates use Pacific time. From August to early December 2024, major updates generally arrived every two weeks; in January 2025 the developers announced a move away from that schedule to allow more testing and development time.
Selected 2026 updates
The wiki index below lists October 22 as its latest entry. The separately linked October 30 patch is later; undocumented entries are marked as such by the wiki.

The October 30 patch says festivities ran through November 2, 2026. Its major objective changes included three separate Rejuvenator crystals, a lower Midboss bounty and increased Haunt base bounty, growth, health and 
damage. The older wiki index does not list that update.
The 
full 2024–2026 wiki index preserves its date, summary and hero-change columns. For individual patch details, follow the official patch notes. The index can lag later releases, and a single dated summary does not document every balance value.
Development plans in the source
The cited wiki revision describes hero progression and customization as in development and mentions planned work on Midboss, Guardians and 
Walkers, as well as possible item and mode experiments. These are plans and speculation reported by that revision, not a release schedule or a guarantee that any feature will ship.
