Yamato
Raiden Shogun Yamato [June 3rd Update Working] — Yamato skins for Deadlock
Raiden Shoguns Boss form as Yamato. This turned out to be a much larger project than I ever anticipated. A single offhand joke suggestion from a friend turned into me hard grinding from zero for a week to make this. Features: - Random chance every primary fire to produce electricity (I really like this) - Uses the new FOV system - Custom Icons - New ability fx - New weapon fx - Custom character background - Custom character select animation - Physics Stuff I still want to add to it: JP va (maybe) Modified weapon/ability sounds to match the new electrical theme I used Sasha11711 Miyabi mod as a base for the new fx because I was so lost on how to use the particle editor that I decompiled his mod to try and learn. He did a really cool petal effect in the 1 and 3 so I kept it and modified it to match this mod. This is my first mod for any game ever, so if you run into any issues please let me know.
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 Yamato 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 Raiden Shogun Yamato [June 3rd Update Working]?▾▴
.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 Raiden Shogun Yamato [June 3rd Update Working] 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 108,463 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 Raiden Shogun Yamato [June 3rd Update Working]?▾▴
.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.
