BoxRun: make and share speedrun routes — maps for Deadlock
Make your own speedrun routes in Deadlock, share them as a short code, and race each other's ghosts. Box runs, movement challenges, rotations, whatever you come up with. Share / download routes and race each other's times in the BoxRun Discord: discord.gg/YHgbS2TBqu. IF THE CONSOLE DOESN'T SHOW UP WITH F7 , ENABLE "Dev command console" IN SETTINGS. To use : open the console (F7) and type " map boxrun_midtown ". Known issues : a shot in the first second after the menu opens can take a moment to press. Ghosts don't replay Mirage's ultimate. If you see anything else, tell me the route and hero in the Discord! What you can do Make a route in game: walk to each spot and place a checkpoint, then test it and set the times to beat (Eternus, Oracle, Initiate). Mark boxes that have to be broken, add notes, split it into legs, or run it with the Soul Urn. Run it against the clock. Every checkpoint shows your split, and the finish card shows your tier. Race a ghost: the route's maker, or your own best, replayed as the real hero. Share it with one short code, and anyone can paste it in and race your ghost. Comes with sample routes: guided ones with a checkpoint at each turn, and open ones with marked boxes to break in any order. Plus two movement challenges. Why I made it I'm learning Deadlock, and box runs were hard to learn from videos. I learn better hands-on, and some of my friends are…
Compatibility
Model replacements are the first thing to break when Valve edits a skeleton, so re-check after each patch. It conflicts with any other mod replacing the same asset — two in the addons folder means whichever loads last wins, and the other one silently does nothing.
Is it safe
It is client-side: the file lives on your machine and other players see the default game. Cosmetic addons have not produced bans, but Deadlock is in active development and nothing about mods is officially supported. Keep a copy of the folder before a patch and remove it if the game stops launching.

Frequently asked questions
How do I install BoxRun: make and share speedrun routes?▾▴
.vpk into game/citadel/addons and name it pak01_dir.vpk. That folder only loads once gameinfo.gi lists it, which is a one-time edit — check the install guide.Is BoxRun: make and share speedrun routes safe to install?▾▴
.vpk is a data archive, not a program, so it cannot execute code the way an installer can. The risk is provenance. This one has 1,417 installs, so a problem would have surfaced on its GameBanana thread. Mods with almost no downloads from accounts with no history have had none of that scrutiny.Will other players see this mod?▾▴
Can I run it alongside other mods?▾▴
pak01_dir.vpk and pak02_dir.vpk installed, pak01 wins and the other does nothing.Does it still work after the latest patch?▾▴
gameinfo.gi and remove your search paths, which stops every manually installed mod at once — redo that edit and they come back. Separately, model replacements break first when Valve edits a skeleton; recolours and HUD mods usually survive. The author posts updates on the GameBanana page.Where does the download come from?▾▴
How do I remove BoxRun: make and share speedrun routes?▾▴
.vpk from game/citadel/addons, or toggle it off in the Deadlock Mod Manager library. Mods never overwrite game files, so nothing needs repairing afterwards.
