Moon Phase | A Silver Build up counter — quality of life/fixes for Deadlock

KNOWN ERROR: Requires you to start 1 match after updating before the bar will start to fill in that match. It should then work in the lobby going forward even after a restart. No idea why. This will display a number above the ult as you build up your ult as silver. There are versions with a displayed bar Green means you will ult if your hit goes under 30% health right now Red means you currently are under 30% health and thus getting the multiplier to your build up (This is factored in) The options are: Damage remaining to ult (Moon Phase) 100 down to 0 (Moon Phase Countdown) 0 up to 100 (Moon Phase Buildup) And a non-bar version of each that are archived to avoid confusion (Note: Countdown's bar will start full and empty as you damage to build your ult) Conflicts with mods that use: panorama/layout/ hud_ability_icon .vxml_c Most should not use this as most mods will interact with one higher in the tree.

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 Moon Phase | A Silver Build up counter?▾
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 Moon Phase | A Silver Build up counter 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 6,171 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 Moon Phase | A Silver Build up counter?▾
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.
