New content in any game is always something to look forward to, but when it comes to VALORANT, fans have learned to be sceptical.

It's exciting when a new Episode comes to life, but with every new feature comes a new bug, and as players attempt to play the latest Agent and get to grips with new maps, there are also a whole host of problems that come with them.

Now, it turns out that one of the biggest recent problems for Riot's shooter is the result of the latest Agent, Deadlock

Deadlock can shoot through walls in VALORANT

Well, that's going to be a problem. As players take Deadlock for a spin as the newest addition to the roster for VALORANT, fans are discovering that there's a major exploit in her gameplay. Numerous players are reporting that she's finding a way to shoot through any wall she pleases.

As reported by YouTuber Kanga, Deadlock has the ability to shoot through a wall, no matter how thick - providing there are two sonic sensors lined up on either side of the obstacle. Even though it's tough to set up properly, this is a troubling exploit that implies that more wallbang glitches could be on the way.

It's not a particularly good look, especially as Deadlock is extremely popular right now and this will lead to a number of incredibly unfair deaths in VALORANT. So it's one VALORANT exploit that we hope Riot Games will jump on quickly. 

What else can Deadlock do?

Horrible glitches aside, Deadlock is a pretty exciting addition to the VALORANT lineup and is likely to cause a stir. She seems to be great at clearing and capturing objectives, with her Annihilation Ultimate proving to be useful in sweeping multiple players, while her Barrier Mesh is useful for tidying those areas up for control.

Elsewhere, Deadlock's Gravnet grenades are bound to clear a wealth of baddies if used correctly. Deadlock has the potential to be a new main for many in VALORANT - especially if she can literally shoot through walls for the time being. Looks like Riot Games needs to do some spring cleaning.
