Zero Suit Samus Lash! — Lash skins for Deadlock
greenpolo/Zero-Suit-Samus-Lash. Zero Suit Samus from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate , replacing Lash. Features. Zero Suit Samus's model from Smash Ultimate, rigged to Lash, with a more feminine idle and run. Her ponytail has real hair physics: it swings as she runs and jumps, and settles when she stops. A wrist cannon designed for her replaces Lash's gauntlet, and it fires with her Paralyzer sound from Smash. Plasma-whip abilities: the Grapple and Death Slam cables and the Flog whip glow yellow-orange like her Smash plasma whip. Ground Strike reworked so her hands hit the ground on landing. Death Slam sounds from Smash Ultimate (the lock-on keeps Lash's sound). The Smash announcer calls "Zero Suit Samus!" when you pick her. Her Smash grunts and efforts, plus her four quips ("Is that all?", "Try me.", "You're mine.", "Be still."). Custom hero-select scene: a painted landing site on Tallon IV with her gunship, and a new pose matching her Smash render. Hero cards, portraits, icons and a ZERO SUIT SAMUS name title. Abilities. Lash's abilities work exactly as normal. Only their look and sound change. Install. Easiest: use Deadlock Mod Manager and click 1-Click Install. Manual: put pak03_dir.vpk in Deadlock\game\citadel\addons\ , then add Game citadel/addons above Game citadel in gameinfo.gi . Rename the pak number if it clashes with another mod.
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 Lash 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 Zero Suit Samus Lash!?▾▴
.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 Zero Suit Samus Lash! 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 150 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 Zero Suit Samus Lash!?▾▴
.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.
