DEADLOCKDeadlock crosshairs
Search results say “crosshair codes.” The client uses cvars. VPEsports runs a lab that writes those variables. There is no code box in the settings menu that this research pass could verify.
These are console variable names from the community convar reference, so you can type them straight into the F7 dev console and keep the values you like.
Build the lines, do not hunt a code
Enable the dev console, press F7, and set one variable at a time so you know which line moved the crosshair. A third-party lab can generate the block for you. Credit that tool if you use it, and re-check the names after a patch because cvars get renamed.
