Creating a custom lobby in Deadlock may not be the most straightforward process, but it's definitely doable with the right steps. Here's a guide to help you set up your own custom match:
1. Accessing the Command Console
- To create a custom lobby, you need to open Deadlock’s console command. Press F7 (or your bound key) to bring up the console.
2. Creating a Private Lobby
- Type
private_lobby_create
into the console. This command will open the custom lobby screen.
3. Custom Lobby Setup
- Once you're in the lobby screen, you can assign players to one of the two teams:
- The Amber Hand
- The Sapphire Flame
- Each team can hold up to 12 players. Simply click on an empty slot to place a player in a team.
4. Configuring Match Settings
- On the right side of the screen, you’ll find match settings where you can:
- Select which server to host the lobby.
- Choose to play with or without bots, offering difficulty levels of easy, medium, and hard.

- Direct Invite: Send invitations through your friends list.
- Invite Code: Share the lobby invite code found in the match settings.
6. Spectators and Unassigned Slots
- There are two spectator slots for those who wish to observe the match.
- Unassigned slots are available for players who aren’t playing or spectating but are still in the lobby.
7. Starting the Game
- Once all players (including spectators) are ready, they must press the ready button.
- After heroes are picked, click the start match button to begin the game.
Now you're ready to explore the map, battle friends, or experiment with heroes in Deadlock!
