DEADLOCK: SLASHED — hud for Deadlock

DEADLOCK HAS BEEN SLASHED! After a painstaking solid week of drawing nothing but deadlock portraits, the time has finally come for me to show off my mod to the world! Its the most I've drawn in my entire life LMAO. This is my first ever public mod release too so I'm not sure if everything will work but if there's anything let me know! There are some fun references in a good amount of them! I didn't want it all to be meme-y so I held back a bit, but I believe it's a good balance! Can you spot them all? There's around 47! VIOLETS CRITICAL AND GLOAT PORTRAITS ARE PLACEHOLDERS FOR THE TIME BEING (i have friends helping me make them as i thought itd be fun to have an art collab on the artist character) i really wanted to get this mod out as ive been aching to release it, so for right now those portraits are technically DONE, but will be replaced with my friends' once i get them! I do plan on modding in the mini-map and Hud icons soon too! this alone took me an entire week nonstop to finish so it'll be a bit later but I do plan on it, and as for custom character skin mods that you'd like to see added I'd be happy to draw them too! Main Artist: Slashed. Violet Gloat Portrait: TBD. Violet Crit Photobash Portrait: TBD. I post art on my Instagram and Twitter sometimes and i'm also trying to be more active on YouTube! so if you ever want to see more of what I have to offer, I'd appreciate…

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 DEADLOCK: SLASHED?▾
Two ways. With Deadlock Mod Manager, use the Mod Manager button on this page and it downloads and places the file for you. By hand, put the .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 DEADLOCK: SLASHED safe to install?▾
A .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 68 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?▾
No. Deadlock loads mods client-side, so the file only changes what you render. Everyone else sees the default game, in every mode including ranked.
Can I run it alongside other mods?▾
Yes, as long as they change different things — a skin and a HUD work together fine. Two skins for the same hero do not: only one can be applied, and Deadlock picks the lower-numbered file. With pak01_dir.vpk and pak02_dir.vpk installed, pak01 wins and the other does nothing.
Does it still work after the latest patch?▾
A Deadlock patch can overwrite 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?▾
Directly from the author's GameBanana page. deadlocktrade.gg indexes mods and links back; it never rehosts files, so you always get the release the author published.
How do I remove DEADLOCK: SLASHED?▾
Delete its .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.
