Description

Better Map — a points-of-interest overlay and customization layer for Deadlock's minimap.

Better Map marks every breakable spawn on your minimap and lets you tune the map to taste — without replacing the game's own minimap rendering, so it stays fast and update-friendly.

Features

  • Crate & statue overlay. Breakable spawns are drawn on the minimap — crates in blue, golden statues in yellow. Small objects are shown too, and can be hidden.
  • Auto level switching. Markers follow you between the surface and the underground, so you only see the POIs on the level you're actually on — or switch to showing every level at once.
  • Native settings panel. Open settings from the scoreboard/detail view; the panel is built from Deadlock's own settings UI, so it looks and behaves like part of the game. Toggle crates, statues, small objects and auto-level, and adjust marker size and opacity.
  • Minimap tuning. Resize the minimap and adjust map opacity.
  • Universal Mod Manager support. With UMM installed, Better Map's settings appear as a tab in UMM's shared window and are saved by UMM between sessions. Without UMM it works standalone with its own in-HUD settings.
Rebuilt on the current Deadlock build, and it never blocks the native minimap (pings and drawing pass straight through the overlay).
