Hwei Full Replacement for Violet — Violet skins for Deadlock
Before someone comes at me in the comments I DO NOT HATE VIOLET. Mod Completion: Full VO Replacement - 80% Completion. * Shockingly, nearly 2000 voicelines take a while to replace. The rest of the untouched lines are some 900+ ping callouts. I won't be touching the conversation VOs either. Skin Lineup - 2/4 Skins completed. * Winterbless & Sinful Shores to be added. Full replaces Violet with the mid lane painter Hwei from League of Legends! Violets animations fit shockingly well with Hwei's model, and Hwei is one of my favs so I had to bring him over when I saw Violet.
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 Violet 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 Hwei Full Replacement for Violet?▾▴
.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 Hwei Full Replacement for Violet 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 181 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 Hwei Full Replacement for Violet?▾▴
.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.
