The closed test is ongoing, new players are joining, and that means it’s time to revisit the settings. This time, the guide will focus on Deadlock crosshairs. Yes, even though this isn’t a shooter, the crosshair plays an almost central role, so it shouldn’t be overlooked. Especially since Valve has already added the option to customize the crosshair, and for that, I’m very grateful!

Now, I’ll briefly cover the most important aspects of setting up the Deadlock crosshair and share a very cool and convenient option.

Cool Console Setup for the Deadlock Crosshair

You can quickly apply another player’s settings through the console. It’s quite simple — open the console with the F7 key and enter the parameters. Let’s try entering the following commands in sequence:

  • citadel_crosshair_pip_gap 2
  • citadel_crosshair_pip_width 5
  • citadel_crosshair_pip_height 9.000000

This creates a bright crosshair with a dot. This setup is perfect for those who have trouble seeing or don’t want to strain their eyes on tiny pixels on the screen.
