Victor
The Vermin (Victor model) — Victor skins for Deadlock
Scurry out onto the battlefield with your tail held high! The Vermin strikes fear into the hearts of Manhattan with an army of rodents at his fatherly command. Harness the mischief of rats to power The Vermin's monstrous abilities. This skin is heavily inspired off of the Skaven; a clan of savage, relatively intelligent sentient rats from the popular gaming franchise "Warhammer." The rest of the inspiration derives from the commissioners love of the cute creatures. Among the download files is linked a written lore for The Vermin written by the commissioner himself! Features custom ability icons, animations, new model and approximately 176 rats. Stylized Rat by AnimalMesh3d
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 Victor 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 The Vermin (Victor model)?▾▴
.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 The Vermin (Victor model) 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 4,063 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 The Vermin (Victor model)?▾▴
.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.
