Dota 2 to Deadlock - Item Icons & Effects — hud for Deadlock
Dota 2 item icons and spell effects for Deadlock. v14 — October 21 update. 160 named item definitions use icons selected by gameplay purpose; 13 keep their original icons. 25 composite icons and a black Sharpshooter.

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 Dota 2 to Deadlock - Item Icons & Effects?▾▴

.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 117 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 Dota 2 to Deadlock - Item Icons & Effects?▾▴
