Kanami over Vindicta — Vindicta skins for Deadlock

I love Kanami so much that I decided to make this mod. Most visual effects and sounds have been replaced. (Where else am I supposed to find a catgirl who plays both games?). Special thanks to sadsan for the technical support, even though he has never played Deadlock. FEATURES. Replaces Vindicta with Kanami, including the M82 “Finale” weapon skin, Chinese combat voice lines, portraits, a character selection video, character selection UI decorations, and custom visual effects. INSTALLATION. 1. Close the game, then download, install, and enable this mod in Deadlock Mod Manager. 2. Disable any conflicting Vindicta mods, then launch the modded game through the manager. The character, voice lines, UI, and character selection video are bundled into a single VPK. No additional video files or installation scripts are needed. If you download the ZIP manually, import it into the manager, or extract it and add kanami_vindicta.vpk. USAGE NOTES. Chinese voice replacement is partial; uncovered lines retain the original voices, and subtitles remain unchanged from Deadlock.

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 Vindicta 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 Kanami over Vindicta?▾
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 Kanami over Vindicta 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 938 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 Kanami over Vindicta?▾
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.
