OW2 - Shion over Haze (WIP) — Haze skins for Deadlock
This is my second Deadlock mod, a simple model swap of Shion from Overwatch as Haze. I mainly wanted to refine my weight painting skills in Blender and experiment with cloth physics. I apologize for the visible issues, but I plan on fixing them and adding more to the mod beyond just the base model swap. I'd like to thank the Deadlock Modding Discord server and its members for their extremely helpful advice and insights, as well as KylieStylish/WhiteMageSunny for the Shion model. If you have any concerns, questions or advice, feel free to contact me on Discord -beenochild. Features: Simple hair physics. Custom gun models. Planned Features: Custom UI. Custom voice lines. Additional custom hair, clothing and body physics. Known Issues: Slight clipping with Shion's hair. Possible decapitation when ragdolled. Minor weight painting issues. Minor texture problems
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 Haze 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 OW2 - Shion over Haze (WIP)?▾▴
.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 OW2 - Shion over Haze (WIP) 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 249 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 OW2 - Shion over Haze (WIP)?▾▴
.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.
