Prototype Mirage Replacement - Regretevator — model replacement for Deadlock
A personal project mod that replaces Mirage with Prototype (and Scag) from Regretevator !! I am not going to be modeling Prototypes new design, though I might add his new faces to the current mod !! This mod replaces: Mirage, Nashala, and gun models with Prototype and Scag (modeled by me) and a Hyperlaser Most used sounds - Prototype speaking/hurt sounds for most of all of them - Scag speaking sounds for map pings/callouts - Ability sounds replaced with sounds from Regretevator (Red Teddy, Gray Stuff, Jermpop, Fizz Jug) - Conversation sounds are also replaced but have long gaps Most particles - Some of the tornado particles are the same, as well as smoke when teleporting Hud/Hero Icons - All character icons done by my amazing and talented boyfriend @Mocha_Vibez on twitter - Ability icons are heavily based on item effects UI in Regretevator, made by me Not everything related to Mirage has been converted/edited, but it's at a point where I'm happy to publish it. There are definitely some sounds I haven't replaced and don't know of (most likely character pings) and some particles were being stubborn and hard to figure out. I will be working on it slowly over time, if there are any glaring issues that I somehow haven't seen, feel free to tell me via my twitter @HeliPillow or comment it on the mod itself :)
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 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 Prototype Mirage Replacement - Regretevator?▾▴
.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 Prototype Mirage Replacement - Regretevator 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 985 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 mod?▾▴
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 Prototype Mirage Replacement - Regretevator?▾▴
.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.
