Deadlock’s ultimate ability has the potential to secure rounds in VALORANT, but it could also fail you in a way you didn’t think was possible—and players want that to change.
When using her Annihilation ultimate, Deadlock launches nanowires at an enemy and traps them in a moving cocoon. During this time, the captured VALORANT player is helpless and must be freed before it’s too late. Players can shoot the cocoon to rescue their captured teammate, or else the victim will die once they reach the end of the nanowire path. In other words, this ult can lock up rounds if it catches the last enemy alive since there’s no one left to save them from the cocoon.
