It is time for a new Agent to enter the Valorant roster. Deadlock, hailing from Norway, was expected to debut at the Masters Tokyo Grand Final show. Riot Games was meticulous in building hype around her through multiple teasers featuring Sova and Cypher. However, in the end, her look and abilities were leaked by several sources on Twitter before the official release.
This prompted the developers to break silence on Valorant's latest Agent before the scheduled time. Riot Games promptly released the gameplay trailer for Deadlock, showcasing all her abilities and subsequent impact in the game. Following these reveals, players might be curious to know when they can get their hands on the new Agent.

What will Deadlock's abilities be in Valorant?
Deadlock's abilities in Valorant will be as follows:
- Sonic Sensor (Q): Equip a Sonic Sensor. Fire to deploy. The sensor monitors an area for enemies making sounds. It concusses that area if footsteps, weapons fire, or significant noise are detected.
- GravNet (C): Equip a GravNet grenade. Fire to throw or Alt-Fire to lob the grenade underhand. The GravNet detonates upon landing, forcing any enemies caught within to crouch and move slowly.
- Barrier Mesh (E): Equip a Barrier Mesh disk. FIRE to launch forward. When touching the ground, the disk generates barriers from the point of origin that block the movement of the characters.
- Annihilation (X) / Ultimate: Equip a Nanowire Accelerator. FIRE releases a pulse of nanowires that captures the first enemy hit. The captured enemy is pulled along a path of nanowires and will die if they reach the end unless freed. The nanowire cocoon is destructible.
