Graphics Lab — other/misc for Deadlock

✦ GRAPHICS LAB ✦. Hidden graphics settings for Deadlock. Graphics Lab exposes graphics options hidden from Deadlock’s standard settings menu. Most of them are built-in console variables ( ConVars ) that players would otherwise need to change manually through the console or configuration files. The mod uses settings already present in the game. It does not replace textures, skyboxes, or other game files to create visual changes. The included options reflect graphics ConVars identified in the game as of October 17, 2026 . Availability and behavior may change between game updates. Some settings may be ignored or require a restart. ✦ INSTALLATION. Choose ONE language VPK: RU or EN . Do not install both. Install using one of these methods: • Deadlock Mod Manager. Install the selected VPK through the manager. It automatically renames the file for you. • Manual installation. Extract the selected VPK from the archive and rename it to pakXX_dir.vpk , replacing XX with an unused two-digit number, for example pak29_dir.vpk . Place it in: Steam\steamapps\common\Deadlock\game\citadel\addons. Your Steam library location may differ. Create the addons folder if needed. Manual installation requires addon loading to be configured; creating the folder alone does not enable mods. Disable or remove any older copies of Graphics Lab, including copies installed through a mod manager. Do not overwrite…

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 Graphics Lab?▾
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 Graphics Lab 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 908 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 Graphics Lab?▾
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.
