Hey guys,

I've noticed a lot of people looking for certain commands and information regarding how to set up a config, what the best rates are to use and how to use the console.

Attached below is a simple video going over the process of how to make your Deadlock config and optimise your game alongside a whole bunch of useful console commands, with some supplementary text & photos for console commands attached below!

Enjoy and hope this helps you personalise your Deadlock experience - Jacky, Dead Air.

Hope this helps you set up your Autoexec.cfg for Deadlock and gives you a better understanding of how to use certain console commands for testing & moviemaking inside of Deadlock!
 
Is there any command for removing the healthbars above players' heads while spectating? Trying to get some nice footage for a project.
 
I should mention, thank you very very much for making this post.
Often times it comes invaluable when I want to make a post but need to make sure I know what I'm talking about first, so I do my own testing in the training range.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
 
i dont get the jumping binds. when i swap space with mwheeldown i end up with mantle on both binds. can u please explain how this works?
 
is it possible to have config / different key bindings depending on the hero you are playing?
Wondering this too, Team Fortress 2 automatically executes 'heavyweapons.cfg' when you choose heavy, having similar auto config exec for all heroes here would help with custom binds on certain ones for ease of accessibility.

Have not had luck yet with the on hero selection or change to execute config files, but dump_hero_names at least gives a list of potential useful hero names, but creating those does not work at the moment.
