New VALORANT agent Deadlock adds trap-focused map control to meta for Episode 7

The newest sentinel joining the VALORANT agent roster has been revealed as Deadlock, a nanowire-wielding Norwegian agent that can catch, concuss, or cut off enemy players with various traps while using their ultimate to capture, constrict, and even kill a single enemy.

Deadlock’s ability kit revolves around the placement of traps that can catch and affect enemy players in unique ways. Game designer Alexander Mistakidis said the goal for the VALORANT team was to create an agent that could “hold their ground actively with their utility, as opposed to needing to set up their utility in advance.”
