Baby Godzilla Soul Container — model replacement for Deadlock

Your unsecured souls are now guarded by a baby Godzilla. Replaces the soul container (the jar on your back while carrying souls) with a baby Godzilla model, and recolors the whole carry effect to purple: glow, embers, smoke and trail. Works for all heroes. Cosmetic only, safe in normal games. INSTALL - Deadlock Mod Manager: one-click install. - Manual: drop shimo_soul_container.vpk into ...\Deadlock\game\citadel\addons\ and rename it to the next free pak slot (e.g. pak02_dir.vpk). Enable addons in gameinfo.gi if you have not already. KNOWN QUIRKS - Back-carried items always face the camera in Deadlock, so Godzilla turns with your camera. Engine behavior, not fixable from the model side. - The soul count number over dropped souls may not show with custom containers (known issue with all container mods). CREDITS - "Baby Godzilla" 3D model by Ejas2050 on Sketchfab: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/baby-godzilla-6196dd4c57b24658ae437d1ff38707f3 Changes: rescaled, converted to Source 2, material rebuilt for Deadlock, set up as a soul container replacement. - Particle recolor based on Valve's Deadlock particle files. - Thanks to the Deadlock Modding community (Pugz's soul container guide, CSDK 12 by Hoxdolum and DirtKiller23).

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 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 Baby Godzilla Soul Container?▾
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 Baby Godzilla Soul Container 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 120 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 mod?▾
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 Baby Godzilla Soul Container?▾
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.
