How to add custom crosshair in Deadlock

Players are having a hard time finding how to add a custom crosshair in Deadlock. Valve's new MOBA shooter is currently in an early development phase and yet has a lot of things quite polished already. However, there are little to no customization options available for the game as of now. Interestingly, a third-party developer has already figured out a method to add a custom crosshair in Deadlock.

The following information was first provided by the popular Deadlock fan page @IntelDeadlock on X. Here's everything you need to know about adding a custom crosshair in Deadlock.

Note: The method mentioned in the article uses a third-party service that has no official ties with Valve.

For those who do not know, the in-game crosshair settings of Deadlock do not support copying and pasting custom settings. Currently, you can only adjust the lengths of the default crosshair elements or keep it as a dot.

For a high-skill shooting game that relies on good aim, not having the feature to add a custom crosshair in Deadlock is a major issue. A user named u/ciprex has stepped in for the community, developing a Deadlock Crosshair Generator that is accessible via GitHub. This web app allows players to create any type of crosshair and paste it in-game.
