Deadlock Minor Update Patch Notes (12th June 2026)
Graves takes a hit, Apollo gets a complete Sigil overhaul, and the Urn economy shifts again in Deadlock's latest balance patch.

Graves is getting hit harder in Deadlock's June 12 minor update, with his Jar of Dead collection rate slowing by 20% and damage dropping from 17+0.27 to 16+0.25. That's a real gutting for a hero that's been overperforming, though the bounty bump from 5+0.25 to 7+0.5 per boon softens the blow slightly. Grey Talon also takes a DPS nerf across the board, gun cycle time up, bullet damage growth down, which should finally give other marksmen breathing room.
Apollo's Disengaging Sigil gets a complete mechanical rework. The velocity jumps 50%, the vertical-to-horizontal ratio flattens from 1.5:1 to 1:1, and now you can steer mid-air with A/D and W/S inputs. The tier upgrades swap entirely: T1 trades +30 damage for +25% fire rate and bullet speed, T2 resets air jump on hit instead of just giving buffs, and T3 lets you recast within 4 seconds. It's a significant shift toward mobility and aggression rather than raw damage.
The Urn economy tightens again, give-up time drops from 75s to 60s, bounty cuts 10% (except for the trailing team), and kill comeback bounties jump 8%. Street Brawl gets a blanket 10% radius reduction on abilities and items. Look for how these Urn changes reshape early rotations.
