Apollo
Shadow (Cid Kagenou) | Model+Icons+Vo+VFX — Apollo skins for Deadlock
A full Shadow (Cid Kagenou) overhaul mod for Deadlock. This is not just a skin — it’s a complete character experience. Includes: Custom voice lines for all abilities (multiple variations) Ultimate voice lines and special triggers Hit reaction sounds and damage voice lines Win / loss voice lines Custom music from The Eminence in Shadow Purple / pink themed visual effects Additional audio details and transitions Many voice lines were taken directly from the anime, including scenes where Shadow is acting in pain, and were used to create more immersive hit reactions and damage sounds. Every ability has multiple voice variations to avoid repetition and make the character feel more alive and dynamic. The model has been fully reworked and adapted to fit the game properly. This mod was made out of passion for the character, aiming to recreate the full Shadow experience inside Deadlock.
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 Apollo 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 Shadow (Cid Kagenou) | Model+Icons+Vo+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 Shadow (Cid Kagenou) | Model+Icons+Vo+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 39,311 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 Shadow (Cid Kagenou) | Model+Icons+Vo+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.
