Damage Fountain — hud for Deadlock
What it does. Custom animations for Gun, Melee, Spirit and True damage, Healing, Souls and Out of Range. Custom Headshot damage stylization. Custom Venator ultimate True damage stylization. Viscous goo punch stylization at long range. NEW unique stylization for heavy bullet, spirit and melee hits. NEW one combined self-heal number near your HP bar. NEW bigger, readable numbers at long range. Inspired by Ragnarok Online damage visuals! 3 size versions. Large — full fountain: about 35% bigger than Small, longest on-screen time, widest spread. Medium — the middle one: about 15% bigger than Small. Small — calm and compact: tighter fountain, shortest animation. Not sure? Start with Medium. Installing. Easiest: install Deadlock Mod Manager (link below). Manual: edit game/citadel/gameinfo.gi — installing guide
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 Damage Fountain?▾▴
.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 Damage Fountain 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 19,960 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 Damage Fountain?▾▴
.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.
