BEST Rat King Flags - Every Country (237 Flags) — RatKing Flag skins for Deadlock
AI disclosure: the flag textures, anthem clips and promo renders in this mod were produced by scripts written with the help of Claude (Anthropic, https://claude.ai). No generative image or audio model was used: the flags are the official national flag designs (country-flags by hampusborgos, public domain) laid over Deadlock's own stock Rat King flag texture, and the anthems are public-domain / Creative Commons recordings from Wikimedia Commons, trimmed and level-matched. Replaces the flag on Rat King's banner with a national flag, and plays that place's national anthem during his ult (charge, leap and slam). 237 flags included: countries and territories from around the world, England / Scotland / Wales / Northern Ireland, a Nepal version cut to its real double-pennant shape, and Long Island. Each flag keeps the original banner's painted brushwork, barbed-wire seams and torn edges, so it looks like it belongs in the game. Two versions: - Torn flags (main download): the flags keep the original banner's torn edges and holes. - Full flags (second download, "Full Flags" zip): the whole flag fills the banner with no tears. Flags keep their real proportions where possible (centered designs stay centered, canton/hoist designs stay at the pole). Same 237 flags and the same anthems.

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 RatKing Flag 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 BEST Rat King Flags - Every Country (237 Flags)?▾▴

.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 568 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 BEST Rat King Flags - Every Country (237 Flags)?▾▴
.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.
