Chefman - Chef DoormanDoorman skins for Deadlock

Hey Everyone, Cook-up the competition with Chef Doorman! This is a skin mod that reimagines the doorman as chef working at the baroness's hotel kitchen! This is my first ever mod released for Gamebanna and my first ever mod for Deadlock in general, as such there was a lot of learning involved getting this guy to even work and many iterations along with cutting corners that I shouldn't have. I am aware of some clipping issues with the skin which is a product of my laziness when it came to weight painting as well as the gun staying in air on ragdoll. There is a chance I update this depending on popularity, however I am intending to move onto other characters in the game and so if I ever do it will probably take a very low priority. Concepting, Modeling, Texturing and Implementation were all done by me Includes Unique models for Ultimate & Cart Abilities All UI sprites for HUD and Chat Hero Select Portrait This mod will use Slot 44 in the PAK directory and as such will not be compatible with any mod that uses that slot or replaces anything related to doorman If you would like to support my work consider donating to me at https://ko-fi.com/commanderjojo

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 Doorman 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 Chefman - Chef Doorman?
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 Chefman - Chef Doorman 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 10,783 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 Chefman - Chef Doorman?
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.
