- Before the barrel is armed (fuse lights up) it cannot be detonated and phases through enemies.
- Hitting the barrel with a melee attack makes it jump in the air in an arc and explode on contact. The arc is based on the player's vertical aim.
- The barrel hitting a bounce pad has the same effect as being melee'd.

Holliday is a Hero in Deadlock. She is a sheriff, relying on her aim with her trusty heirloom revolver and a litany of abilities to take down her enemies. With a Crackshot of her pistol, she can slow and damage her foes from a distance before launching an explosive Powder Keg with her Bounce Pad or a melee attack. To isolate her foes, she can wrangle them with her Lasso and drag them into the attacks of her allies.

Once a sheriff content with the small-town life, this would all change when a travelling musician known simply as "The Troubadour" began a gruesome killing spree; but when she tracked down and confronted him, he managed to flee. Intending to track him down, Holliday spent six months investigating and deduced that the killer's next target was New York. She's going to kill that evil son of a bitch.
Holliday was added to Hero Labs on October 24, 2024, and released officially on January 17, 2025.

Background
See Holliday/Lore for more story content.
“There are people who spent their whole lives dreaming about moving to New York. Holliday isn't one of those people. Content with being a Sheriff in a small town, Holliday enjoyed a career where the only time she had to use her gun was when trick shooting at the county fair...then the murders started.
Grisly and inhumane; the bodies were found with their ribcages ripped open... their innards picked apart as if by birds. Holliday tracked down the killer, a travelling folk musician that the media dubbed "The Troubadour", but when she confronted him he exploded into a murder of crows and flew away.
That was 6 months ago, and while the murders in central Illinois have stopped, Holliday's investigation has not. She believes that The Troubadour is travelling to New York, and when she finds him she's going to kill that evil son of a bitch.
Lore
Holliday's motivation and wish in the ritual is to catch and kill the Troubadour.[2][3][4][5] Holliday's visual novel will tell the story of her hunt for the Troubadour.
Holliday is the granddaughter of Wild West gunslinger Doc Holliday.[6][7][8] Her revolver belonged to her grandfather and is seen as a "family heirloom."[9][10] She inherited her revolver from her father, who also trained her to use it.[11] She feels pressured by Doc Holliday's legacy and tries not to think about it,[8] but hopes her actions would make him proud.[12][13]

Holliday is vigilant as a law enforcer and takes her job seriously.[19][20] The OSIC have a file on her, where she's portrayed as "competent."[21]
Holliday was traumatised by the Troubadour's murders.[22] She avoids sleeping because of the nightmares she gets.[23] Holliday hates the feeling of revenge, but feels like there's nothing else she can do about it.[24]
