Bad To The Bone Jar of Dead — Graves skins for Deadlock
HELLO Bad To The Bone Jar of Dead Mod by Tianes ( https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198031082906 https://twitter.com/_Tianes https://bsky.app/profile/tianes.bsky.social) Bad To The Bone by George Thorogood and the Destroyers This mod replaces the Jar of Dead skulls with a chromed out version, turns a handful of the ability particle effects blue, and replaces the skull hit sound effects with short Bad To The Bone riffs. INSTRUCTIONS To install this mod, make sure your gameinfo.gi file (Located at /Deadlock/game/citadel) is edited so it reads addons. Modify the file so the SearchPaths area looks like this: SearchPaths { Game_Language citadel_*LANGUAGE* Game_LowViolence citadel_lv Game citadel/addons Mod citadel Write citadel Game citadel Write core Mod core Game core AddonRoot citadel_addons OfficialAddonRoot citadel_community_addons } } //after the FileSystem separator above AddonConfig { "UseOfficialAddons" "1" } Then place this .VPK file inside of /Deadlock/game/citadel/addons. The game reads the PakXX_dir.vpk files from lowest to highest number.
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 Graves 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 Bad To The Bone Jar of Dead?▾▴
.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 Bad To The Bone Jar of Dead 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 8,715 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 Bad To The Bone Jar of Dead?▾▴
.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.
