In the MOBA Deadlock (Steam), there are curious glitches. A “huge” glitch creates characters that are so big that the game kills them immediately.
The MOBA shooter Deadlock is currently still in closed beta on Steam, and the occurrence of bugs is likely the point of this event.
Minor issues are completely normal. However, “small” is not quite the right word here, as the bug is gigantic – at least it makes a character grow huge.
What kind of bug is this? The player Rasterise published a video on YouTube showcasing the glitch in action. A bug causes the combination of “Magician’s 3” with “Colossus” to continuously increase the size of a character – for all participants in the match.
The bug is triggered when a player is transformed into a frog from Magician’s 3 at the moment the Colossus item loses its effect. The error can be replicated infinitely, until the character is so large that it towers over all buildings, as the video shows here:
Does the bug have any advantages? Fortunately, the glitch cannot really be exploited. Aside from completely confusing the enemies, this bug only has disadvantages. The giant character does not move faster – the lady essentially walks in slow motion (even though she actually has her normal movement speed). Additionally, there are further limitations, as the quick zipline can no longer be used.
Also, the large hitbox negates any use, as there is no cover, meaning the giant lady can be shot from all sides. And as if that weren’t enough, she ultimately becomes so large that she automatically dies after each respawn because her character protrudes into the death zone – an area that is considered “outside the map” and is thus taboo.
During a beta, such errors are completely normal and expected, but they still lead to some confused faces. At least there are also significant buffs every few days, even if sometimes for the already strongest hero.
