Mina
Neopolitan Mina — Mina skins for Deadlock
I'd say this mod is still a WIP, but it's good enough to finally get released, and I need to start working on all the commissions that have accumulated. Shards from her second ability are actually simulated with physics, because I tried to make them collide with the Deadlock world. Unfortunately, turns out particle-rendered 3d model's physics can't interact with the game world. Installing mods guide. Otherwise you can use a mod loader/manager. Current features: - Hero and umbrella model replacement. - Custom hero select screen pose. - 2nd ability particles replaced. - Other particles recolored, and bats replaced with glass shards. - Icon replacement. - Jacket physics. - Hair and necklace physics. - Jiggle physics. Please report issues if you find any.
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 Neopolitan Mina?▾▴
.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 Neopolitan Mina 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 8,854 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 Neopolitan Mina?▾▴
.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.
