Deadlock plays like a MOBA game and without having a strategy, you and your team might struggle to find success in pushing the opponents back and making progress in the lanes. However, it is also a third-person shooter, and like it or not, your aim does matter in scoring kills.
Wherever aiming comes into play, the crosshair will play a crucial role, and Deadlock is no exception. While Valve usually allows players to customize their crosshairs in games like Counter-Strike 2, this feature currently lacks a live view in Deadlock, which makes it a bit painful to make detailed adjustments.
Deadlock: How to Heal
With this guide, Deadlock players can discover multiple ways to heal their heroes and improve their chances of survival.
How To Customize Crosshair
Thanks to a creative Deadlock fan, all players can now freely modify their crosshair using an online third-party tool and apply it in-game simply by copying and pasting a line of code. So, all you need to do is to pay a visit to this website, where you can either choose one of the pre-built crosshairs or modify them until it satisfies you. Of course, this tool is not as powerful as Crosshair X, but it can still give you more than a few options to try out in-game, by allowing the user to change the width, height, and opacity of the lines and the center dot as well as their thickness.
Once you are done editing the crosshair, click on the "Copy Config" button. Now, run Deadlock and when you are in-game, press F7 to open the console. Here, you need to paste the configuration and then press Enter to apply the changes. If you want to revert the change, just go back to the crosshair generator website and copy the configuration for the default crosshair, then apply it in-game.
Improving Aiming Skills
At the moment, none of the Deadlock weapons have recoil, which makes it far easier to control the spray and target the opponent heroes. So, all the players need to work on is crosshair placement. It is crucial to keep your crosshair always at a head level, but knowing that movement in Deadlock is quite fast and unpredictable, it will take some time to improve your aiming skills.
After finding a good crosshair to hunt heads easily, it is beneficial to figure out a comfortable mouse sensitivity as well. Spinning around is something that happens quite a lot in Deadlock, especially when you are facing more than one opponent. So, it is important to look around quickly and switch targets.
The hero in use is also a factor to consider. So, if you go ahead with heroes like Wraith or McGinnis, there are enough bullets in the magazine to just spray and pray! However, when playing as heroes with a smaller magazine size such as Abrams or Pocket, even missing a single shot could put you under pressure on the battlefield, as you will need more reloading breaks.
