Deadlock abilities explained: How to weave chaos using Valorant's new web mechanics - ONE Esports

A new hunter has joined the Valorant battlefield.

These Deadlock abilities are a game-changer that will force her opponents to change their approach when attacking sites and pushing on defense.

Deadlock, a sentinel agent from Norway, introduces a distinctive twist and a fresh mechanic that will significantly impact the Valorant meta.

Valorant’s Agent 23 can concuss, trap, block, and eliminate enemies with her lethal nanowire trap.

Here’s everything you need to know about Deadlock.

What you need to know about Deadlock abilities


GravNet



Press the Ability 1 key (C) to equip the GravNet grenade. Fire (left-click) to throw the ability. Use alt fire (right-click) to lob the grenade underhand.

The GravNet will detonate upon landing, forcing any enemies caught within to crouch and move slowly. 


Sonic Sensor



Press the Ability 2 key (Q) to equip Sonic Sensor. Fire (left-click) to deploy the ability.

The sensor monitors an area for enemies making sounds. If footsteps, weapon fire, or significant noises are detected, it concusses that area.



Barrier Mesh



Press the Ability 3 key (E) to equip a Barrier Mesh disc. Fire (left-click) to throw the ability.

Upon landing, the disc generates barriers from the origin point that will block character movement. Barrier Mesh will also block agent abilities, including Gekko’s Wingman.


Annihilation



Press the Ultimate key (X) to equip Nanowire Accelerator. Fire (left-click) to unleash a pulse of nanowires that captures the first enemy it comes to contact with.

The cocooned target will be dragged along a designated nanowire route, and if the captured agent reaches the end of this path without being rescued, they will perish. The nanowire cocoon is destructive, and requires a number of bullets to destroy.


Valorant devs explain the design process for Deadlock

According to Valorant Game Designer Alexander Mistakidis, they wanted to create an agent that can hold their ground actively with their utility, as opposed to needing to set up their utility in advance.

“Our hope is that this appeals to players that value being able to adjust their plays and strategy based on information about their opponents,” said Alexander.

Deadlock was specifically designed for tactical players who excel at responding to situations that are already in motion.

“There was an improvisational nature to it all, of someone that is honed in their craft and knows what tool to use depending on what comes at them,” said Valorant Agent Lead John Goscicki. “This resonated with tropes of someone surviving against extreme and otherworldly odds, getting out alive with just what they were able to work with.”

“Deadlock is bringing her skills and tools to the game, and it’s up to you to use them correctly to stall every enemy push,” he added.

Deadlock will be released on June 27 once Episode 7 Act 1 is out.
