How to get a VPK

VPK from game files​

First we need to find the VPK ID

You can find ids like this https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=(this is the id)

When you join a server and accept a addon, they get placed in steamapps\workshop\content\730\(workshop id)

Simply open up the folder and there you have the (workshop id).VPK

If you don't have the VPK we can instead download it

Download VPK from Workshop​

To download the VPK you will need SteamCMD and for simplifying the download Workshop Downloader

Download Manually​

Open up SteamCMD Type the following commands:

  • login anonymous
  • workshop_download_item 730 (workshop id you want to download)
  • quit

And you will find the (workshop id).VPK in your steamcmd path/steamapps/workshop/content/730/(workshop id)

Download Automatically​

Download the tool: Workshop Downloader

Place the .bat anywhere you want, then edit it with Notepad++ or any editor you want

Change cd "files/steamcmd" to the path of your SteamCMD folder

Open up the .bat file and write/paste the workshop id you want to download

Then the (workshop id).VPK should be placed at the same location you opened the .bat file
