Venator
Crusader DD2 Mod — Venator skins for Deadlock
A mighty sword arm anchored by humility and compassion - the last of it's kind. Crusader Darkest Dungeon 2 Venator Mod. Has new hero roster pose, portraits, venator voice lines replaced with Darkest Dungeon Narrator, but ping voice lines are default for gameplay purpose. Has 4 Crusader Variants: Default, Agressor, Templar, Banneret. To pick one you need to rename one of the pak30SKINNAME_dir file to just pak30_dir My X page https://x.com/gigwhat7 . To do: Replace Crossbow texture and replace gun model Known Issue, SMG Doesn't dissaper in Hideout when doing heavy melee or ult, but this is not the issue in match or in party hideout
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 Venator 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 Crusader DD2 Mod?▾▴
.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 Crusader DD2 Mod 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 96,647 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 Crusader DD2 Mod?▾▴
.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.
