Paige
purple paige vfx — Paige skins for Deadlock
this pack is JUST fx, i made them for combined use with Hex Maniac Paige by Seaotterdawn , but i also plan to make my own recolor at some point. if you fw the purple fx and green paige though no need to download other mods this can also be used to overwrite other paige fx mods by giving the pak name a lower number then whichever paige mod is changing her fx changes ALL particles (including particles that use models! (without touching the model* files!!)) also includes the dash wings, one of the effects** on the hero select menu, weapon particles, and her "bullets" *this is done by changing the texture file of the model **i cant find where the sparks are getting their color, it may require replacing the entire hero scene which is not something i want to mess with right now/ever dont ask me to make it other colored versions... unless ur offering to pay real money ? alternatively, feel free to download and decompile this mod to use as a starting point for your own recolors, or to know which files to change no need to credit me id also check out Lovebitten Paige by phatcatx for something a bit more high quality, granted a couple particles are different from paiges kit, and not just a recolor, still a very useful resource (and cool mod!) if you are downloading this from a vibecoded mod site that scrapes gamebanana, for shame! dont trust those sites!!!! fuck ai!
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 Paige 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 purple paige vfx?▾▴
.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 purple paige vfx 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 5,888 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 purple paige vfx?▾▴
.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.
