Valve Announces Silver, Deadlock’s Bounty-Hunting Werewolf, Arriving Feb. 5

Valve details a two-form kit built around a rapid Lycan Curse transformation granting temporary health, resistances, and speed boosts.

Overview

  • Silver fights at range in human form with a rifle, then shifts to a close-quarters werewolf kit via her Lycan Curse.
  • Human abilities include Slam Fire for an instant reload with a brief high-damage, high fire-rate window, Boot Kick for a dash melee that marks targets, and Entangling Bola to deal spirit damage, slow foes, and block movement abilities.
  • Werewolf abilities comprise Go For The Throat for melee damage with 40% lifesteal, Mauling Leap to close distance and apply debuffs, and Tail Whack to knock back and disarm enemies.
  • Lycan Curse grants 350 bonus health, heals 30% of missing health, adds bullet and spirit resistances, and increases movement speed, with reports differing on the transformation’s cooldown (PC Gamer’s article cites 22 seconds; its headline references roughly 30 seconds).
  • Silver joins the Old Gods, New Blood roster alongside Rem and Graves, PCGamesN reports a Feb. 5 in-game addition, and coverage notes placeholder animations and a polarized community response on Reddit.
