Astarion Apollo! (UPDATED) — Apollo skins for Deadlock

https://github.com/greenpolo/Astarion-Apollo. Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3 , replacing Apollo. Two outfits: his camp clothes and the Ascended epilogue outfit. Features. Astarion's model from Baldur's Gate 3, rigged to Apollo, with his exact in-game skin, hair and eye colours. Two outfits, one file each: Camp (ruffled shirt) and Ascended (black and red epilogue coat). The Ascended coat has real cloth physics: the coattails swing and settle as he moves. The Infernal Rapier replaces Apollo's rapier. 758 of Apollo's voice lines replaced with Astarion's from the game, plus 138 extra lines for variety (the ult cycles through his Latin incantations). Hero-specific pings keep Apollo's voice so callouts stay clear. Custom hero-select scene in the Ascension ritual chamber, with Astarion in a new pose (also on the main menu and post-game screen). Hero cards, portraits, icons, weapon art and an ASTARION name title. Abilities. Apollo's abilities are unchanged and work exactly as normal. Install. Pick one outfit. Both files replace Apollo, so install only one at a time. Easiest: use Deadlock Mod Manager and click 1-Click Install. Manual: put pak03_dir.vpk in Deadlock\game\citadel\addons\ , then add Game citadel/addons above Game citadel in gameinfo.gi . Rename the pak number if it clashes with another mod.

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 Apollo 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 Astarion Apollo! (UPDATED)?▾
Two ways. With Deadlock Mod Manager, use the Mod Manager button on this page and it downloads and places the file for you. By hand, put the .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 Astarion Apollo! (UPDATED) safe to install?▾
A .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 258 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?▾
No. Deadlock loads mods client-side, so the file only changes what you render. Everyone else sees the default game, in every mode including ranked.
Can I run it alongside other mods?▾
Yes, as long as they change different things — a skin and a HUD work together fine. Two skins for the same hero do not: only one can be applied, and Deadlock picks the lower-numbered file. With pak01_dir.vpk and pak02_dir.vpk installed, pak01 wins and the other does nothing.
Does it still work after the latest patch?▾
A Deadlock patch can overwrite 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?▾
Directly from the author's GameBanana page. deadlocktrade.gg indexes mods and links back; it never rehosts files, so you always get the release the author published.
How do I remove Astarion Apollo! (UPDATED)?▾
Delete its .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.
