DL Arcade [ONLINE MATCHES!] — hud for Deadlock

This project was created using AI Assistance as part of a workflow for analyzing Deadlock Panorama UI. Support the project: Boosty. Deadlock Arcade - play mini-games straight from Deadlock. Compatible with QOL Lock and like 95% other mods (place DL Arcade higher in priority). No alt-tabs. No second app. Press Esc, pick a game, and play a round while you wait for your match. Support & Community. Discord: Report bugs, suggest new games, or discuss the mod on the Discord Server . Support the project: Help cover server costs & future development on Boosty . Any help is massively appreciated! Games Included. Poker (Texas Hold'em, 2 to 4 players). Geoguesser. Pixel Battle. Chess. Checkers. Wordle. Durak. Connect Four. Tic-Tac-Toe. How to play. Press the Escape key. Select "DL Arcade"; it will appear below the "Exit Game" button. Quick Match: Public matchmaking. No code needed. Select Multiple: Queue for several games at once, get matched on whatever overlaps. Private Lobbies: One player shares a 4-digit code, the other types it in. Play vs Bot: Fully offline, no server connection needed. Matchmaking, private 4-digit codes, live turn sync, chess clocks, and 4-player Texas Hold'em dealers - all squeezed through the pixel dimensions of dynamic PNG images.

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 DL Arcade [ONLINE MATCHES!]?▾
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 DL Arcade [ONLINE MATCHES!] 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 3,760 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 DL Arcade [ONLINE MATCHES!]?▾
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.
