2 BONUS Haze Colors - Rainbow Heroes Pack — Haze skins for Deadlock
2 more colors that I separated from the 9 that I already uploaded for 2 reasons: 1. These are edits + fixes of 2 pre-existing mods by alacripose (Black Haze) and birthdaygirl (Pink Haze) . Black Haze had an incorrect texture when invisible (and I added a new Head and Pants color) and Pink Haze has outdated icons (though mine aren't toooo much better lol). 2. I still don't know how to Hue-Shift into the correct White, Black, or Pink colors so the included icons are just reused from my Grayscale and Magenta ones. Since they're obviously worse-off because of that, I included these separately. I don't know if it's incorrect behavior to edit/fix someone's mod so to make it very clear that it wasn't originally mine, I'm uploading them separately.
Compatibility
Model replacements are the first thing to break when Valve edits a skeleton, so re-check after each patch. It conflicts with any other mod replacing the same Haze asset — two in the addons folder means whichever loads last wins, and the other one silently does nothing.
Is it safe
It is client-side: the file lives on your machine and other players see the default game. Cosmetic addons have not produced bans, but Deadlock is in active development and nothing about mods is officially supported. Keep a copy of the folder before a patch and remove it if the game stops launching.

Frequently asked questions
How do I install 2 BONUS Haze Colors - Rainbow Heroes Pack?▾▴
.vpk into game/citadel/addons and name it pak01_dir.vpk. That folder only loads once gameinfo.gi lists it, which is a one-time edit — check the install guide.Is 2 BONUS Haze Colors - Rainbow Heroes Pack safe to install?▾▴
.vpk is a data archive, not a program, so it cannot execute code the way an installer can. The risk is provenance. This one has 5,035 installs, so a problem would have surfaced on its GameBanana thread. Mods with almost no downloads from accounts with no history have had none of that scrutiny.Will other players see this skin?▾▴
Can I run it alongside other mods?▾▴
pak01_dir.vpk and pak02_dir.vpk installed, pak01 wins and the other does nothing.Does it still work after the latest patch?▾▴
gameinfo.gi and remove your search paths, which stops every manually installed mod at once — redo that edit and they come back. Separately, model replacements break first when Valve edits a skeleton; recolours and HUD mods usually survive. The author posts updates on the GameBanana page.Where does the download come from?▾▴
How do I remove 2 BONUS Haze Colors - Rainbow Heroes Pack?▾▴
.vpk from game/citadel/addons, or toggle it off in the Deadlock Mod Manager library. Mods never overwrite game files, so nothing needs repairing afterwards.
