"Deadlock: The New Trap-Focused Agent Shaking Up VALORANT's Meta"

The new VALORANT agent, Deadlock, is 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, making her a huge difference-maker during retakes and post-plants. She will be unlocked via a new limited-time agent recruitment event, as part of the new progression system to be introduced in Episode Seven.
