Kyōjurō Rengoku Yamato — Yamato skins for Deadlock

New mod drop, this one is for a friend, but it was too much of a pain to make not to share. This mod depicts Yamato as Kyōjurō Rengoku from Demon Slayer. The model was ported from Hinokami Chronicles and doesn't belong to me. NOTICE: Still in a bit of a testing phase, so some bugs may be expected; feel free to let me know what you find! Content: -Custom Rengoku Model. -Custom stylized Demon Slayer Flame Breathing effects for every ability. -Rengoku voice lines for nearly every situation besides pings and interactions. -Passive heat effects on sword at all times. -Flaming sword effect on ability and heavy melee use. -Custom select screen. -Unique portraits for critical, default, and gloat. -Ultimate plays Rengoku's 9th Form theme during its duration (proximity volume for extra aura). -Custom sword weapon and sheath. -Other minor things I've likely forgotten. I hope you enjoy this mod, as it was very difficult to get the flame effects right and to get the haori to agree with physics (expect clipping). Leave future ideas for mods, bugs that need to be resolved, or just say gibberish. I'm working on a Yami Sukehiro overhaul for Billy next, so look forward to it. Thanks!

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 Kyōjurō Rengoku Yamato?▾
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 Kyōjurō Rengoku Yamato 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 240 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 Kyōjurō Rengoku Yamato?▾
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.
