Here’s how they differ Esport Admin, June 27, 2023 Valorant’s latest addition, Deadlock, may challenge many long-held notions regarding the Sentinel class. Currently, we have 5 guard agents in Valorant. Cypher, Chamber, Killjoy, Sage, and Deadlock are the ones who fall into that category. Their duty is mostly to strengthen the team’s defense and keep an eye on the surrounded enemies. The process flow for them generally goes like this – get into the buying phase, set up your utilities for success, and wait for the enemy to get into them. Their success depends greatly on the clever setups created in the pre-round phase. Inertia is, in many ways, a striving away from this idea. It’s the only ranger we can think of to use quickly to maximize production. So let’s dive in and try to break it down for you. Table of Contents Gravnet cannot be deployed prior to a roundThe net barrier is sturdy but must be used on the flyThe sonic sensor allows for pre-round application but with a holdConclusion Gravnet cannot be deployed prior to a round Credit: Riot Games Riot’s game agent design just keeps getting better and better, and Deadlock isn’t lacking in smart features. Her Gravnet ability sparked particular interest because she could easily be mistaken for a Molotov cocktail, but she’s far from it. When deployed, enemies trapped within its area of effect will be forced to crouch aggressively, forcing a large move on them. However, the takeaway is that there is no scope for applying them before the tour. You should actively look for opportunities to derive value from this tool when in use.

Here's what we knowThe net barrier is sturdy but must be used on the fly Credit: Riot Games It can be said that this is our agent’s strongest ability in discussion. It is impossible to maneuver through it. Breaking nodes requires a lot of ammo, which makes it an expensive option in the case of Valorant after ammo. Like our previously discussed ability, this ability cannot be deployed after the round either. Moreover, even if the option is available to use it before the round, it is best for players to carefully observe the round situation and then choose a place to use it. The sonic sensor allows for pre-round application but with a hold Credit: Riot Games It would be very difficult for Riot to completely stray from its core Sentinel design philosophy. So, it should come as no surprise that at least one of its features is allowed to be released ahead of the tour. Actually we’re talking about its Sonic Sensor capability here. However, it takes a lot to spot flankers and lurkers, as enemies can only get past it as long as no noise is made. Also, attackers can easily control the location after a successful fake as its Sonic sensor can be silently bypassed. It can be estimated that the game almost motivates players not to use it before the round. It is best for players to evaluate the round move and then use it accordingly. Conclusion Credit: Riot Games Since two of her most influential abilities cannot be used before the round begins, she leaves her Ultimate – Annihilation and another ability called “Sonic Sensor”. The ultimate target has been known to be used against active enemy targets. Therefore, there is no scope for primer application. The sound sensor has also been discussed to be more suitable for in-flight use. In conclusion, its toolkit is largely designed for value when used mid-round, a far cry from the traditional Sentinel model. Riot has once again outdone itself in terms of creative feats, and the way Deadlock is going to change definitions has us intrigued.
