Neon Prime Shiv - REUPLOAD/FIX/ 7/28 — Shiv skins for Deadlock
Restores some old left over textures that shiv would have used in Neon prime, the project that eventually became Deadlock Also includes recolored icons The red shirt, jacket, right arm, skin color, boots, belt and belt loops on the pants are all parts from his Neon Prime model and use the left over textures. The knife, knife sheath, pant legs, and reliquary were added for Deadlock specifically and have been recolored to match what they would or might of been colored had they existed then.
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 Shiv 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 Neon Prime Shiv - REUPLOAD/FIX/ 7/28?▾▴
.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 Neon Prime Shiv - REUPLOAD/FIX/ 7/28 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 7,434 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 Neon Prime Shiv - REUPLOAD/FIX/ 7/28?▾▴
.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.
