Best Deadlock crosshairs: Optimal crosshair settings explained ValveAs a shooting game, finding crosshair settings that fit you is a must in Deadlock, and we\u2019ve got all the information you need about adjusting them here. After months of secret playtesting, Valve has finally acknowledged Deadlock, allowing the world to talk about it and get a proper glimpse of the game in its early stages. A unique take on the hero shooter and MOBA genre, it\u2019s attempting to balance the two worlds. Being a shooter also means it requires some mastery of aim mechanics in comparison to your average MOBA. Having the best crosshairs in Deadlock can drastically improve your sessions, and we\u2019ve got a full list of options below, as well as some key tips to keep in mind when you\u2019re customizing. Things to know when adjusting your Deadlock crosshair Being in early access, our crosshair options are quite limited in comparison to Valve\u2019s other games like Counter-Strike 2. However, there are still enough options to make simple adjustments. But be warned, because of its early-access nature, there are quite a few bugs in the game. Here are some to be aware of before customizing: Making Gap zero only makes the crosshair gapless when the height is at 20 – The dot in Dot Opacity is slightly misaligned – Depending on settings, Pip Opacity can make your crosshair completely black – Of course, these are just early bugs and will no doubt be patched out soon. We\u2019ll be sure to update you here when they are. Nonetheless, if you\u2019re making your own crosshair, you should keep these issues in mind. Deadlock console commands Due to the bugs, you\u2019ll need to use a fair few console commands to amend the problems. Below we have listed all the commands for crosshairs and a quick explainer of what each does: citadel_crosshair_color_b: Controls how blue the crosshair is – citadel_crosshair_color_g: Controls how green the crosshair is – citadel_crosshair_color_r: Controls how red the crosshair is – citadel_crosshair_dot_opacity: Controls the opacity of the colored dot – citadel_crosshair_dot_outline_opacity: Controls the opacity of the dot\u2019s outline – citadel_hit_marker_duration: Controls how long hit markers stay on screen – citadel_crosshair_pip_border: Turns off or on line borders – citadel_crosshair_pip_gap: Control the crosshair gap – citadel_crosshair_pip_height: Controls how long the crosshair lines are – citadel_crosshair_pip_opacity: Controls the opacity of the colored lines – citadel_crosshair_pip_width: Controls the width of the lines – To access the console commands you will need to press F7, or you can rebind it in the settings. Generally, most players will have problems with the gap not closing when it\u2019s set to 0. To amend that you\u2019ll need to head into the console and type citadel_crosshair_pip_gap [insert number]. Going into the negatives will result in the gap closing. How to add custom crosshairs While there\u2019s currently no official way to copy custom crosshairs, the Deadlock Crosshair Generator is a fan-made third-party tool that gives players the option. This is how to use it: Visit the applications webpage – Once it\u2019s open you can choose from a variety of crosshair pre-sets – Line size, color, opacity, and the center dote can all be edited to your preference – When you\u2019ve finished, hit the Copy config button found on the bottom right of the page – Launch Deadlock and press the F7 key to open the in-game console – Paste your code and press the enter key – The new crosshair will now be active in Deadlock. If you find yourself wanting to use a different one, you can easily remove it by opening the Settings menu and selecting Reset to Default. So, with that out of the way, these are some ideal crosshair settings to use: Best Deadlock crosshairs Basic crosshair Gap: 0 – Width: 0 – Height: 10 – Pip Opacity: 1.00 – Show Pip Border: Off – Dot Opacity: 0 – Dot Outline Opacity: 0 – Red: 255 – Green: 255 – Blue: 255 – Console Command: citadel_crosshair_pip_gap -2 – This is as simple as it gets, a basic white crosshair that will fit almost everybody out there. You may notice that even though the gap is put at 0 there is still a gap, that\u2019s because Deadlock\u2019s crosshair has a few bugs that we\u2019ve mentioned above. So to fill in the gap you\u2019ll need to go to the console and input citadel_crosshair_pip_gap -2 to close it. Basic cross with dot Gap: 3 – Width: 0 – Height: 15 – Pip Opacity: 1.00 – Show Pip Border: Off – Dot Opacity: 1.00 – Dot Outline Opacity: 0 – Red: 255 – Green: 255 – Blue 255 – This crosshair is a relatively simple cross and dot, quite similar to the default one but cleaner and less opaque. Generally, this will be most player\u2019s pick for a crosshair, as it\u2019s just big enough to see what you\u2019re doing, with a dot in the middle to help you accurately aim at targets. You may notice that the dot is misaligned, that\u2019s another bug, and hopefully Valve patches it out soon. Dot crosshair Gap: 0 – Width: 0 – Height: 0 – Pip Opacity: 0 – Show Pip Border: Off – Dot Opacity: 1.00 – Dot Outline Opacity: 1.00 – Red: 255 – Green: 255 – Blue: 255 – Console commands: citadel_crosshair_pip_gap -5 and citadel_crosshair_pip_height 0.6 – If you\u2019d prefer a simple dot as your crosshair, this will be for you. You may notice the colored dot is slightly off-center from the outline, it\u2019s yet another bug. It would normally be centered. To try and remedy this, we\u2019ve used the citadel_crosshair_pip_gap -5 and citadel_crosshair_pip_height 0.6 commands to try and get a dot right in the middle, but doesn\u2019t completely fix it. So if you are a dot crosshair user, you may just have to live with the misalignment until Valve fixes it. Green crosshair Gap: 0 – Width: 0 – Height: 10 – Pip Opacity: 1.00 – Show Pip Border: Off – Dot Opacity: 0.65 – Dot Outline Opacity: 0 – Red: 0 – Green: 255 – Blue: 0 – This crosshair is quite a simple one that we use, turning it green so it contrasts better against the red enemy outlines and environment. We\u2019ve also turned down the Dot Opacity to 0.65 so we aren\u2019t distracted by the slight off-centering of the dot, but still useful enough to help us aim. Purple crosshair Gap: 0 – Width: 2 – Height: 13 – Pip Opacity: 1.00 – Show Pip Border: Off – Dot Opacity: 0 – Dot Outline Opacity: 0 – Red: 200 – Green: 67 – Blue: 200 – This is another simple option, this time it\u2019s purple for anyone who prefers that color. It should be just large enough for you to aim quickly, but still small so you can aim precisely. We\u2019ve also opted for a slightly lighter shade of purple because that\u2019s what works best for us, but your eyesight and monitor are different from ours so do adjust the colors to your own liking. Shroud\u2019s crosshair Gap: 0 – Width: 2 – Height: 6 – Pip Opacity: 1.00 – Show Pip Border: Off – Dot Opacity: 0.7 – Dot Outline Opacity: 0.9 – Red: 0 – Green: 255 – Blue: 255 – Console command: citadel_crosshair_pip_gap -2 – Shroud\u2019s Deadlock crosshair is almost identical to his CS2 crosshair, being a small cyan crosshair with an outlined dot in the middle. To achieve the perfect gap, he uses the citadel_crosshair_pip_gap -2 command in the console. So if you\u2019re someone who likes using his settings in Counter-Strike 2, this should be perfect for you. That\u2019s all you need to know about crosshairs in Deadlock for now. As it\u2019s still in an early playtest, more crosshair options and types will certainly be coming in future patches, so we\u2019ll update you here as work on the game continues.
