Early access VALORANT footage shows Deadlock’s ultimate isn’t as broken as it looks

With a name like Annihilation, the ultimate ability for newest VALORANT agent Deadlock comes across as broken already. But while the Nanowire Accelerator-powered ability that cocoons an enemy agent and pulls them towards almost certain death sounds busted, it’s not as bad as it first seems.

Annihilation fires a pulse of nanowires that captures the first contacted enemy, cocooning them and pulling them along a wire toward a kill spot. Players caught in the ability can be freed by teammates that can shoot open the cocoon, but obviously, this means that in a 1v1 scenario, getting caught by Annihilation means the round is certainly over.
