Cheat in Valve's New Game? Get Turned into a Frog!
Valve has introduced a quirky new update to their latest multiplayer game, Deadlock, which lets players transform cheaters into frogs. This hero shooter, blending elements from Team Fortress 2, Dota 2, and Counter-Strike, is still in development. The team is working tirelessly to refine the game, and this week's update brings some exciting changes.
Transform Cheaters into Frogs
The latest patch in Deadlock includes a unique anti-cheat measure: the ability to turn cheaters into frogs. If you spot a cheater during a match, you can choose to either ban them immediately or transform them into a harmless frog for the rest of the game.
Here's the official patch note:
- Introduced an initial anti-cheat detection system.
- Players can choose to ban or transform detected cheaters into frogs.
- Results of matches with cheaters won't count for other players.
Community Reactions
This feature has sparked a lot of excitement and humor within the gaming community. For instance, a tweet by @poggu__ showcased a hilarious glitch involving a transformed cheater.
According to Burton Johnsey, a former Counter-Strike developer, Valve had a similar system called "FU Surprise Mode" that turned cheaters into chickens, but it was never released.
Deadlock's Popularity
Deadlock is still in its invite-only phase but has already gained significant traction on Steam. It frequently ranks in the top 10 most played games on the platform, boasting 118,697 concurrent players at the time of writing.
Other Updates
This week's patch also introduced a new hero named Mirage and made several changes to maps, characters, and items. Valve has yet to announce an official release date for Deadlock.
