PLEASE READ! If you wish to download this individual PNG's of the art for yourself, please visit this Google Drive link and read the READ ME doc for crediting, usage, support! This was a big labor of love and 117 drawings later, I'm just happy to share the work done! If you cannot download from this Gamebanana page, please check out the previously linked Google Drive — please note, the only official places to download DEADLOCK TOASTED are through this Gamebanana page, or through the Google Drive linked above. Please note, my name on Steam is NOT ToastyGhostey. I do NOT go around advertising my mod. I have reports of people impersonating me - if they're telling you to download this mod claiming to be me, latte, or anyone else, they are not us. INFO This mod replaces all the hero icons (and some NPC icons) with color-coded cartoony designs done by ToastyGhostey and coded by cosmiclatte ! HOW TO INSTALL Edit Your gameinfo.gi 1) You'll first need to open up Deadlock's local files. Upon doing so you should see a folder called game. 2) Open that then head into the folder labeled citadel. 3) At the top there should be a file called gameinfo.gi, open that with any text editor then find where it references "SearchPaths" and replace it with this: SearchPaths { Game citadel/addons Mod citadel Write citadel Game citadel Write core Mod core Game core } To install addons, you'll need to crea…

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 TOASTED?
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 TOASTED 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 112,570 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 TOASTED?
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.
