As of now, Deadlock has arguably the most unique kit in the game, setting her apart from other agents. Her launch is expected to significantly impact and shift the meta of Valorant. When talking about the agent, Anna Donlon, the executive director of Valorant, said:
A sentinel who will stop you dead in your tracks and pull you in for a closer look
Here’s a quick overview of her abilities:
Sonic Sensor (Q) – The sensor monitors an area for enemies making sounds. It concusses that area if footsteps, weapons fire, or significant noise are detected.
Barrier Mesh (E) – Upon landing, the disc generates barriers from the origin point that block character movement.
GravNet (C) – The GravNet detonates upon landing, forcing any enemies caught within to crouch and move slowly.
Annihilation (X) – Unleash a pulse of nanowires that captures the first enemy contacted. The cocooned enemy is pulled along a nanowire path and will die if they reach the end, unless they are freed. The nanowire cocoon is destructible.

Team Deathmatch (TDM)
After teasing TDM for quite a while, Riot Games is finally releasing the long-awaited game mode to Valorant. Orchestrated by the menacing Maxbot who has endured enough abuse in the workplace, the new game mode will pit players against each other in a fast-paced 5v5 Deathmatch-esque fashion.
