Deadlock Threat HUD — hud for Deadlock
Threat HUD is an information HUD for Deadlock. This download contains ThreatHudBridge.exe, a self-contained Windows desktop application required for installing the mod and supplying data to the in-game Panorama interface. The required VPK is embedded inside the application and can be installed, activated, deactivated and removed directly through the Bridge. A separate VPK download is not required. FEATURES Player win-rate information Predicted player ranks Lane Adviser based on hero matchup statistics Current-match hero damage from a delayed Valve broadcast Lifetime hero statistics, including souls per minute, headshot percentage and accuracy Local player reactions for remembering previously encountered players Automatic match detection Built-in mod installation and activation Compatibility with Top Bar Plus HOW IT WORKS The in-game interface is implemented as a standard Panorama/VPK modification. It communicates with Threat HUD Bridge through a local HTTP connection on the user’s computer. The Bridge uses publicly accessible Deadlock statistics and a delayed Valve broadcast stream. Current-match damage information is normally delayed by approximately 60–90 seconds because it comes from the spectator broadcast.

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 Threat HUD?▾▴
.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 Threat HUD 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 146 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 Deadlock Threat HUD?▾▴
.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.
