Today’s update adds four new heroes to matchmaking: Holliday, Vyper, Calico, and The Magnificent Sinclair.

Expanding our roster is one of our major goals in 2025. While some of these characters have a much higher degree of temporary art than usual, we are excited to see how they perform on the battlefield. 

So who are the new faces you’ll be seeing on the streets of New York?
\

HOLLIDAY

Armed with an heirloom revolver and a spirit lasso, Holliday’s investigations have led her to New York… and when she finds the killer she’s looking for she’s bringing him in dead, not alive.
\

VYPER

Did you know that when you slide your gun has infinite ammo? Vyper does. That’s why you’ll find her sliding around the battlefield spraying lead and poison.
\

THE MAGNIFICENT SINCLAIR

Mystify your rivals with combat tricks so vexing that they won’t believe their eyes! Summon a spectral assistant, polymorph foes into rabbits, and turn the enemies own abilities against them! Impossible? Not for THE MAGNIFICENT SINCLAIR…
\

CALICO

A feared assassin; Calico uses the shadows to her advantage, weaving in and out of combat to hunt down her enemies one by one. More importantly, you can possess her sphinx Ava and run around as a cat.


This update also marks the conclusion of the Winter Event. Players who participated in it will have a record of their achievements on their profile page.

    I want to like the game so bad but it runs like shit on linux. I installed windows to play at a lan party and tried it out. Runs perfectly. in the main menu the shaders compile so much faster too.

    either linux gaming still isn’t there yet or valve just forgot how to make games

      Damn that’s sad to hear since I want to move over to Linux and will be doing to when they stop supporting windows 10.

      With the game still being a play test I’m hoping they’ll try to optimize it better on Linux for the full release.

        Same here. I’m hopeful because it’s valve but looking at other devs and publishers I feel like they’re just gonna do what they do. Pump out unoptimized crap…
