Kaneda Shiv

# Kaneda-Inspired Shiv — Capsule Jacket

A fan-made, Akira-inspired retexture for Shiv in Deadlock.

This skin keeps Shiv’s original model, hair, skin tone, weapon shape, and animations while recoloring his outfit in Kaneda’s signature red palette. The jacket includes a folded, fabric-mapped capsule logo, with matching red clothing and footwear.

Also included:

- Red hip charm with dark chain and blue/ivory center

- Ivory-and-charcoal gun with red accents

- Yellow warning markings

- Small “METAL” sticker detail

- Original Shiv silhouette and gameplay animations preserved

## Installation

1. Download the included ZIP.

2. Import the `.vpk` through Deadlock Mod Manager.

3. Enable the mod and launch Deadlock.

4. Disable other Shiv appearance mods if they conflict.
