How to use console commands when stuck
Now that you have the controls, you need to learn how to use them in Deadlock. To use the controls, you will need a development console. There are two ways to enable this option. You can simply go to the Options tab in your Settings and check the box Activate the Console option.
You can also access your game’s properties from the Steam Library and write -dev Or -console in the launch options section. This will permanently activate the console for you. Once the console is activated, press F7 on your keyboard to bring up the console. Type or paste any command from the list you want to use and press Enter.
