Mina Ha-shido (Old Gods, New Blood Update) — Mina skins for Deadlock
A mod inspired by my personal favorite character from My Hero Academia, Mina Ashido! I had the idea to do this ever since Mina came to the game and just now got around to making it a reality! This is my first attempt at making a mod, so I hope it all turned out okay! This mod includes slight changes to Mina's face and hair to better match Ashido's appearance, a cute UFO charm, recolored textures inspired by Ashido's hero suit, recolored vfx, and icons drawn by me! Her appearance is based mostly on Ashido's time skip look (most notable in the horns), but if there is a demand I can make an alternate with her original horns. Original horns now available!! Now compatible with the Old Gods, New Blood update along with new critical and gloat icons (there is now a slight issue where her umbrella and gun stay in place when she dies. I'll look into fixing this, but it is not much of a priority for me) I hope you all enjoy!
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 Mina 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 Mina Ha-shido (Old Gods, New Blood Update)?▾▴
.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 Mina Ha-shido (Old Gods, New Blood Update) 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 7,446 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 Mina Ha-shido (Old Gods, New Blood Update)?▾▴
.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.
