Can you get banned for mods in Deadlock?

Valve has no official rules on mods. Cosmetic mods (skins, HUD) change the game only for you and there have been no ban waves for them, but Valve gives no guarantees. Skip mods that give an in-match advantage.

Can other players see my skin?

No. A mod changes files only in your game: teammates and enemies see the default hero model.

Why did my mod stop working?

Most often a game update overwrote gameinfo.gi - add the Game citadel/addons line again. If the patch changed the hero model, wait for the mod update on GameBanana.

How do I remove a mod?

Delete its pak…_dir.vpk file from game\citadel\addons. To switch off all mods at once, remove the Game citadel/addons line from gameinfo.gi.

Deadlock Mod Manager data, updated October 29, 2026

How to install a Deadlock mod

Five minutes and a text editor. Or a mod manager that does it all for you.

Option 1 · mod manager

Easiest: a mod manager

Deadlock Mod Manager is free and open source: it edits the game files, then installs, toggles and updates mods from GameBanana. The “Install with Mod Manager” button on every mod page hands the mod straight to the app.

Deadlock Mod Manager website

Option 2 · by hand, five minutes

Manually

Open the game folder: Steam → Deadlock → right-click → Manage → Browse local files. Then go to game\citadel.
Create an addons folder inside citadel if it is not there yet.
Open game\citadel\gameinfo.gi in a text editor, find the SearchPaths block and add Game citadel/addons as the first line inside it. Save.
Download the mod from GameBanana and unzip it. Rename the .vpk file to pak01_dir.vpk (the next mod is pak02_dir.vpk and so on) and put it in addons.
Restart the game. If two mods change the same hero, the one with the lower number wins.

Mods gone after a game update? The patch may have overwritten gameinfo.gi - add the Game citadel/addons line again. To remove a mod, delete its file from addons.
