Greninja over Yamato (model, voice, effects) — Yamato skins for Deadlock

Replaces Yamato with Greninja. What it changes. - Model: Greninja (Smash model) fitted to Yamato's skeleton, so every animation, hitbox and the camera work as normal. The tongue scarf is simulated cloth and the tail fin swings. - Weapon: the swords are gone; Greninja holds a water kunai. - Alt fire: throws a spinning water shuriken. - Ability 2 (Flying Strike): the grapple is a water kunai on a water-colored rope. - Ultimate: renamed Shiny Transformation. Greninja turns into its shiny colors (black body, red scarf), with a shuriken symbol overhead and a Poke Ball on the ground. - Effects: all of Yamato's red effects are recolored to water blue. - Voice: all of Yamato's voice lines are replaced with Greninja's cries from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Abilities 1 and 2 have fixed cries on windup and release. - Icons and text: new ability icons (kunai and Greninja silhouettes), the hero is named Greninja, "sword" reads "kunai", "Shadow" reads "Shiny". - Hands: the left hand is open (no scabbard to hold), and the kunai hand grips properly on the zipline. Install. Put the .vpk in Deadlock\game\citadel\addons and rename it to the next free pakNN_dir.vpk (for example pak01_dir.vpk), or add it with Deadlock Mod Manager. Notes. - Client side only. Every Yamato in your match looks and sounds like this to you, including enemies. Hitboxes are unchanged; Greninja's limbs are thinner than the…

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 Greninja over Yamato (model, voice, effects)?▾
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 Greninja over Yamato (model, voice, effects) 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 183 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 Greninja over Yamato (model, voice, effects)?▾
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.
