First look at the new Deadlock hero - The Rat King Out of the sewers and into the streets, the rightful King of the Rats is here at last. Rodent-hating citizens of Manhattan won't be prepared to see his Scrap Grenade bouncing down Broadway, nor for his Swarm of Rats biting at their heels. By donning his Royal Pestments, the Rat King shakes off incoming damage, allowing him to bravely lead the charge into battle. His loyal subjects will feel awed and inspired when they see the great Banner of Rattania waving in the middle of combat, and those who oppose him will rue the day they ever thought they could overthrow the king. - "Oh the rats are taking over, baby!"

Rat King's abilities and animations in Deadlock: Scrap Grenade - Throw a grenade of scrap that detonates multiple times, dealing bullet damage and applying slow. The grenade can be meleed to knock it away. Rat Swarm - Call forth a swarm of rats that leap onto enemies, dealing spirit damage over time and reducing their bullet resist with every bite. The more rats are attached, the faster they will bite the target. Enemies can have multiple rats attached, but can shake off a rat early by performing a ground or air dash. Royal Pestments - Adorn scrappy armor, gaining barrier based on your max health. As long as the armor holds, bullets have a chance to be deflected back towards the attacker. The barrier does not benefit from resists. Rule, Ratannia! - Summon the banner of Ratannia and charge into battle to claim the area by slamming the banner into the ground, causing an explosive eruption from the sewers. Rat King and nearby ally heroes have increased Movement Speed, are unaffected by slows, and take reduced damage while near the banner. Rat King can slam the banner into the ground to plant it, causing the sewers below to violently erupt, dealing bullet damage while applying knockup and slow to all enemies while they remain in the area. Once planted, rats will swarm out of the sewers, applying Rat Swarm to enemies they hit. And he can also squeeze in the tunnels! #deadlock

So equipment and grenade slots in CS2's loadout are actually usable, but devs commented them out for now. Maybe we will new stuff for it in the future?

There is also an Overwatch verdict pop-up. Probably to notify you when action has been taken against a cheater that you reviewed.
