Unusual Items — hud for Deadlock

Unusual Items. and Sounds. General Description. Changes the icon of every item in the game. Includes various jokes and strange images, as well as sounds for some items too. Getting to every single item was quite a stretch and I was running low on ideas after the halfway point but I finally got through them all. I will try to keep this updated and maybe change some items if I get any better ideas or just to keep them fresh. Unusual Extras. Unusual Extras contains sounds that may not work correctly, or that may be generally too annoying to include with the rest of the sounds. This is provided at user request so you may still use these sounds, but are not forced to have them included in order to enjoy the rest of the sounds. The current content is listed below with a small explanation on its inclusion. Unusual Extras currently contains: A sound for Cursed Relic that unintentionally plays during Grey Talon's Spirit Snare, as they utilize the same sound file. May be very annoying and play too much if you have a Grey Talon in your match. Sounds for Metal Skin that unintentionally play when shooting Rat King

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 Unusual Items?▾
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 Unusual Items 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 41,906 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 Unusual Items?▾
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.
