Bro Strider [Homestuck] over Yamato — Yamato skins for Deadlock
Bro Strider over Yamato! Ever wanted to slash fools as the sickest katana-wielding, speed-blitzing, child-abusing , puppet obsessed guardian that Homestuck has to offer? AND you like Yamato? This mod is for you! This is my first ever mod for any game ever, so expect some rigging errors. Planned to be fixed soon! This mod includes: Custom Bro Strider model Custom portraits, gloat and critical icons Custom ult sounds Replacement of the Omega symbol with the Heart aspect Credits! Bro Strider model created by Mochi, PLEASE go check out their stuff! They have a ton of really cool projects and models, including ones that aren't Homestuck! Thank you so much for allowing others to use your models for their projects! Mochi's Gamebanana and Mochi's Steam can be found here! Ult song: Curt Blakeslee - Beatdown (Strider Style) Multiple assets used from Homestuck, created by Andrew Hussie Future Updates If I continue working on this project, I will consider... Custom textures for sword and sheathe (currently, they both use the model's texture because I have no idea how to make a custom one and it looks okay at the moment) More custom sounds Fixing some rigging issues (the model doesn't have 5 fingers so it is difficult to properly rig the hands, if you have suggestions please leave them below!)
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 Yamato 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 Bro Strider [Homestuck] over Yamato?▾▴
.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 Bro Strider [Homestuck] over Yamato 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 465 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 Bro Strider [Homestuck] over Yamato?▾▴
.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.
