    How do i download this update

  3. Dan Craun says:

    PS3
    Corruption
    After going through with all the editing, saving, encrypting, etc. After copying it over and trying to load the save, it gets to 50% and says the data is corrupted.

    • TheVicious85 says:

      Have you modded before, or is this your first time modding?

      • Morbid Dr says:

        I have the same problem. Never modded the save before but did everything correct from what ive seen utube/web. any ideas?
        Ps3
        ver1.04 will all dlc (out to date)

      • Dan Craun says:

        i modded BL1 but this is my first attempt at BL2. Here are the steps i am going through. Copy save to usb. Put save file on comp. Bruteforce, decrypt, Gib edit, save, update PFD, Encrypt PFD, copy all files back to USB overwriting previous file, copy into PS3 selecting overwrite. Get into BL2. Load character, hits 50%, then says it is corrupt.

  4. Kruksog says:

    Hey, everything is working pretty darned well, but one thing that I notice is when I open the “prefix” drop down in the Backpack tab [when creating weapons], nothing loads. There are no options, so I have to know (or figure out) the prefix listing of said weapon, which isn’t always easy, especially with DLC stuff as I can not simply get it from DuncanFoggs Gearcalc. Thanks.

    • MrSlowski says:

      So any news on GPD mods? Any tutorials for it? I’d really like to raise my shield so I can take on some of the tougher bosses.

      • MrSlowski says:

        Sorry that response above was not met for you lol,
        Anyways, the gear calculator that is provided with the program works for me. There is a button with it that says somthing along the lines of “Text data” and gives you the actual stringed text for each part. Unfortunately I don’t believe the calculator has DLC weapons. You’ll have to do some googling, or take a guess. Normally if you know the name of the weapon you can get a general understanding of what it’d be.

  6. Ryan says:

    I was wondering if you could possibly add a section to your editor that would allow exporting and importing of playthrough info from one character to another like what the willowtree editor allowed in borderlands 1. Thank you for this awesome editor as well.

  7. JaHn3tiC says:

    Thanks so much for this! I wanted to switch to Maya since it turns out Ultimate Vault Hunter mode is virtually impossible for poor Zer0 to solo. Loaded up my Zer0 save and simply changed the class, name, and save slot and was good to go. This way I can keep my original Zer0 as well in case I decide to stomach playing as him again. Anyway, great utility for helping friends also since now I can downlevel my characters at will to go play with lower level friends. You have done a great service!

    • Jordan Escrig says:

      I want to do the same but I’m not sure how, do you change the save on a different file? On the actual file on the USB or on the Gibbed programme?

      • Somedude says:

        1) Open the Save file of the original character. 2) Save that file with a changed name (ex. Save0004.sav or whatever the format is. 3) Now load/open the Save0004.sav file and edit the Save Slot number to a new number. I tried to match the save file and the safe slot number. Worked for me no problems.

  8. Clef says:

    when will there be like an import button code from the Gear Calculator to the save editor?

  9. Jack says:

    I cant open the save editor on my windows 7 comp and i even try as an admin. after i use 7-zip i grab the program and drag it to my desktop and try to run it and it doesnt work. Then i just try runiing it from the file and that also doesnt work

    • Angelman180 says:

      Are you dumb?? Put all of it’s files in it’s .zip on the desktop and try to run it.

  10. skyto says:

    so how to edit badass rating and badass tokens?

  11. a noob says:

    failed to load save:invalid or unsupported version

    • Angelman180 says:

      Do you see the thing next to the filename? Go to the file, and click that box. Select the console the save was made on. Press Open.

  12. He says:

    I can’t even open the damn thing. I don’t get an error or anything; it just won’t open.

  13. Angelman180 says:

    Okay, so I try creating a Veruc with the camouflage of a Seraphim, right? I add a new gun, make a Veruc, and try putting a Seraphim material on it. It says a redbox and an error sign. Help?

    • Angelman180 says:

      Hmm, I guess you have to get a Pirate’s Booty gun and put it on there..

      • this guy XD says:

        usually puts a redbox and error sign if part dont match it means if the game loads itll get deleted

  14. Henry says:

    im using revision 153 and im getting an error: failed to load save, invalid or support version. i used horizion to extract the save as well, HELP!!

    • TheVicious85 says:

      when you opened Gibbed did you select in the drop down box above the Open button to open your file and select Xbox?

      • infinitychaos says:

        i cant open a save either it says invalid or unsoported version but i have revision 153

        • JaySea says:

          When you go to open your save, you click ‘Open’ in Gibbed, then in the window you select your save, and there’s a drop down before you proceed. Switch that to X360 Saves instead of PC (It’s PC by default, I had this same error until I noticed the drop down box.)

  15. Cold Fusion says:

    i downloaded R153 but when i extract the contents of the zip 3 items have a CRC error next to them witch prevent me from using this awesome mod tool. i have used previous versions with no problem at all so can someone please help me and yes i have version 4 of microsoft .net framework.

  16. EnvyAces says:

    Hey im curious ive been looking through the raw tabe and i cant figure out how to use the playthrough mission number, it keeps sending me back to windshear waste for the tut level and that wipes the slate clean… Any tips to bypass the missions?

  17. neko says:

    i go to load my save on bl2 and it wont even show up as a save i can load but when i look via the storage its there how can i fix this

  18. rushy says:

    hi i can not get any skill points to be added to my save plz help

    • this guy XD says:

      gibbed doesnt yet support skill points yet go into the RAW section look for skill data, increase just the grade to five to mod your skills

  22. eL_MeXiCaNo says:

    Can you make it so we can edit missions from the save editor? Like in the Save Editor from Borderlands 1?

    Just a feature that would be handy to have. Thanks for the editor, it’s AWESOME!!!

  23. Trent says:

    I’m wondering if there is any way I can contact you, ex: email. I want to ask you about something that deals with the editor. It’s not a problem that I’m having with it, I just want to ask you a question or two about it. I think you can see the email that we have to put for the comments, so if you don’t want to post your email, could you just respond to me via email?

  24. James_911 says:

    Hai, can i use this program take my save game and let my friend use it in his ps3? If yes, could someone tell me how?!? Thanks!!

  25. MatthewPense says:

  26. MatthewPense says:

    lso I have to start over and I’m trying to mod my level what is now level 3 Gunzerker for PS3 forgot to mention that

  27. Eric says:

    it worked just fine for me. thanks for the upload.

  28. Faal says:

    after upping the level to 61 for some characters, the game suddenly shows the message saying that i dont have the content required to level past 50 despite already leveling my siren to 61 without the editor

  29. Raptorz says:

    Im trying to level my mech to lvl 61 but it doesnt let me. Help

  30. MONKI says:

    Just tried this out, worked fine, but for some reason i dont have weapon slot 3 & 4 unlocked, am i retarded and missing something or do i have to play through the story to gain it?

  31. jack says:

    Any chance of a save editor for Bioshock Infinite? If not, any tips as far a creating one. For example do the save files have a checksum? How do you isolate the various values? I’m thinking you would need to look at multiple save files (with different values for the same property – e.g. money, etc) with a hex editor. Is that how you start?

  34. kyle says:

    im trying to open the editer on windows 8 but it wont load. i was just wondering if there was a update coming for it to work on windows 8.

  35. Greg says:

    Whenever I max out my character’s skill trees, after switching back to that character after using another, the skills are reset to the game’s dafault number of skill points, which forces me to have to edit the character in Gibbed’s again. Is there any way to prevent this from happening, or am I missing a step?

  36. Greg says:

    …and as I’m asking, can anyone here direct me to a good NON-video Gibbed Borderlands 2 Tutorial for PS3? Greatly appreciated.

  37. MatthewPense says:

    Im using ps3 I have modded with this before and I use Bruteforce but everytime i plug it back in to my PS3 i get a “Data Corrupted” I need help please help me

    • MaVeRik says:

      make sure you have an updated version of brute force.. and make sure you “decrypt” before you start with the editor, then save the .sav in gibbed then “update pfd” then “encrypt”

      • MatthewPense says:

        Ok I think it might be gibbed editor cause i have downloaded Bruteforce 2 different versions so ill try a different gibbed editor version and thank you so much for replying

  38. PSYCHO says:

    No matter how many times I try, my file always comes up as corrupted on my 360. I have the latest version and am very familiar with modding, but I just cant seem to mod borderland 2 saves properly.

    everytime i go to save my file the game file NEVER changes

  40. chaosking says:

    when trying to create a new seraphim or pearlescent weapon, i get a red box around the field that makes the gun a seraphim or a pearl and it wont let me select any more parts. any help?

    • infinitychaos says:

      you cant make a pearlescent weapon or a seraphim weapon

      • chaosking says:

        any particular reason why?

      • Greg says:

        On the contrary, to date, I have actually created eight pearlescent weapons using Gibbeds 153. Just go to the dropdown menu under “New Weapon” and click on the last option, Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, and the Pearlescent options are listed. I have created the Bearcat, the Sawbar (Assault Rifles) The Unforgiven, the Stalker (pistols) the Tunguska (rocket launcher) the Butcher (shotgun) the Storm (sniper rifle) and the Avenger (SMG) all for the PS3. I have not yet attempted to create any Seraphims.

        • Greg says:

          …you just need to make sure that when choosing your gun parts, they are all made by the same manufacturer of the weapon itself. That should prevent the red box from happening.

  41. Hippieraver33 says:

    I was
    wondering if there is a mac version of gibbed?

  42. infinitychaos says:

    i cant open a save in the editor

  43. Yadayerf says:

    The Save Editor does not seem to respond well to Seraph items and Weapons, and other things that start out with GD_Iris*. It marks any of those as an incorrect value and, even when I enter what are, as far as I can tell, valid parts, it doesn’t even show up in the backpack in-game!
    Also, I forgot to set a material on a gun once and it defaulted to a solid purple texture. Could there be some sort of warning for values that are “None”, but shouldn’t be?

  44. GABRIEL says:

    no puedo hacer las armas de la ultima actualización…. me sale en rojo

  45. Kyle says:

    I have been messing with the settings to create a tediore relic. I have had no luck ‘making’ a rare one in the lvl range of 30-35 with 2 or 3 attribute improvements with a stage range of 9 to 11. I was able to alter an existing one (not-rare turned into a rare). It had shown up in the game, but it didn’t stay the next time I logged into my character. BL2 on PC is erasing those after you log out.

  46. alex says:

    hi,
    i’ve been having issues creating any unique weapon with a sage or orchid prefix. Once I select the weapon in the list, the box turns red and won’t let me add any other parts. Is there any way around this, or is it just something that I’m going to have to deal with?

    Thanks,
    Alex
