  2. Corey says:

    Tried to open and it wont. Something I need to do? All other revisions opened fine.

    • Steve says:

      I am having the same problem, it says it has a error and had to close,

      • Nolan says:

        get modio open a save that you can open if u don’t have one download it, then go over to contents and right click in savegame.sav select replace file and replace it with the modded onw.

    • stephen says:

      have yu ran it as an administrater

    • Chuck says:

      Had the same issue. Just make sure the file type is set to 360 or PS3 if it’s from one of those systems

  3. Marc says:

    Trying to had an allegiance relic to my character, but it’s never there so i tried taking an existing one and just modifying it to make it the way I wanted but it just disappeared from my inventory.

    • Marc says:

      For some reason, when trying to make a maliwan allegiance relic(trying to get reload speed and damage) I can get the reload speed to stick OR the damage but not both. On the other hand, I successfully sticked reload speed/fire rate as well as damage/fire rate on the relic. Using the gear calculator website(the link in the backpack tab in the tool), It seems to be possible to place the reload speed and damage bonus on the relic. Is it a problem with the tool or does borderlands 2 prevent them from existing on the same weapon?

      I also read somewhere it is naturally possible to obtain a relic like I want so it should be possible to make one even if that type of relic is extremely rare.

    • helper says:

      If it dissipears from your invintory that means when your making it little yellow tryangels pop up no? That means the ingame invintory check will imedetly delet it from your invintory so you haf to put the item in your bank for it to stay but if you leav it in your invintory it will disapear agan a tedous proses but well worth it if you do it right

  6. Chris says:

    When I download the save editer and try to open it on win7 it just never opens up when I click on it. I’ve tried redownloading a lot plz any suggestions?

    • helper says:

      Did you unzip the folder or if its a .rar did you extract the fiels in it? If you have then the gibs editor should be in working condition inside of the folder do not take it out of the folder for then it won’t work!

  7. Freeman says:

    When I use Gibbed’s save editor and try to get skillpoints it WONT save for some reason…

  8. ellie says:

    Completed missions, playthrough number, money, eridium, and explored areas do not update and I’m stuck on one story mode mission that will not allow me to advance in the game

  9. Gyakuto says:

    When I try to load my XBOX save I got this message:

    Failed to load save: invalid or unsupported version

    • john says:

      when you are about to load you must select the xbox 360 save option on the bottom right corner

      • codie says:

        it doesnt let me select that option in the bottom corner it just says borderlands 2 save file and does nothing when i go to open it

  10. Jeremy says:

    Used horizon to extract xb360 save game.
    Used the editor to open the save game I had extracted. Made modifications to the save file such as adding weapons with the pasted code, edited level in raw tab, and added currency (only 10, 000 as a test). Used horizon to replace the save file on my usb stick and received no errors. When I load the save with bl2 it does not have any of the changes I had made. I’m using rev. 179 . Does this still work? Thanks.

    • helper says:

      Yes it still works what you could be doing wrong is that you made a copy of the file or named it wrong I asum but if you want detaled steps on what to do youtub it also it helps in my case to save rehash and resign it 2 or 3 times and the ammoiunt of money you put in does not change if ittlvwork or not

      Hope I was of help

  11. me says:

    What I want to know is if I change my charcter to say a mecromancer will it allow it or not if I haven’t bought the dlc for the additonal charcters??

  12. Zeph says:

    Gibbed, what’s your stance on donations? Any way to send you a couple of bucks?

  13. Rene borderlander says:

    Adding skillpoints to a save does not seem to work, am I doing something wrong or is this a known bug?

    • Rene borderlander says:

      Just browsed back and found this:
      ” Go to the raw tab on the save editor, scroll down to the skill data, it shows all for the skills on the character, go to grade point and put it up to five, it should max out the skill, and just go trough all of them and max them out. Hope this helps. ”
      I will try this tonight.

  14. QWERT says:

    Weapons not shown in inventory even after saving it.

  15. blacksuta says:

    the dlc items and weapons are not working they come up but i can’t mod them or change the formatting of the weapon or iteam

  16. Adrian says:

    Hello! 😀

    So this is quite an amazing tool, and I’ve been looking for something like this for a while now. I have a few questions for you though:

    * I have a legit copy of BL2. Will this interfere with steam achievements whatsoever? Or worse, can this harm the game in any sort of way, or is it just a plain save file, and does not matter at all?
    * There is this problem where if I swap chars around, It won’t show it. Ex: I choose my Siren, swap to EDITTED Zer0, I don’t see the Zer0. I still see the Siren. It does not affect gameplay, but it’s somewhat annoying ;D is this fixable?
    * Is this save file cosidered to be “legit”? Like, does the game consider this file as a completely normal file as if it was played normally?

    Thank you and keep up the good work! :DDD

    • mike says:

      it will not interfere with steam achievements, all it does is edit the .sav file, the game only lads them when you select a character.

      i do not recommend flipping your character class around like that, you can bug out your game doing that because the game doesn’t know what to do with the previous skills.

      the game does not know the difference between a normal .sav and an edited one.

  17. wren says:

    Hi

    I own BL2 for PS3 and Steam. I’m trying to copy my ps3 characters to steam to play with friends.

    I found the save and coppied it to PC, but I can’t get it to open. Do I still need bruteforce or something? it says “failed to load save: zlib decompression failure (compression method unknown)

    Was there a patch so this no longer works?

    • wren says:

      Sorry that was wrong file. I’m actually getting: “Invalid SHA1 hash”

      • TheVicious85 says:

        In order to get your PS3 save to work on your PC you have to: 1) Decrypt your save using Bruteforce, 2) open your save in Gibbed, 3) change it to PC and save the file to ex. SAVE0001 to your Desktop and close Gibbed, 4) encrypt your PS3 save again, 5) move your newly created save to your Borderlands 2 save directory

  18. Pete says:

    Hey. Awesome program. I use it frequently (in fact, i use quite a few of your works, quite amazing stuff).
    It seems like rev 179 doesn’t seem to support the latest DLC though, which i suppose it wouldn’t, being created before it.
    Is there going to be a new version?

    • Rick says:

      What new DLC?

      • Krieg.Zer0 says:

        yeah that’s right, now we have these NEW things: 1. Update for lvl 61. 2. Tini Tina’s Assault on Dragon’s Keep. 3. Sir Hammerlock’s BIG Game Hunt. those may not be supported though, but i want those weapons too..

        • Wisecarver says:

          I’ve been posting things for it that were requested, how about an Impetuous Florentine:

  19. Greg says:

    I did the extract with the horizon. Then I tryed loading this in the editor r179 and I get this>>>>> Failed to load save: cannot load xbox 360 CON files, extract save using modio or equivlent. Anybody know what this is?…Im lost and cannot do anything futher with this.

  20. HyprKnucklz says:

    I keep trying to read text tutorials as well as watching video tutorials, but every time i try to create my own weapon, when i get down to the prefix and title boxes they are both blank, is my version just messed up or am i missing something?

  21. Poshtachio says:

    Right, I try to open the editor and it says ‘Gibbed.Borderlands2.SaveEdit has stopped working — Windows can check online for a solution to the problem — Check online for a solution to the program — Close the program’. I know I need the full .NET Framework 4 but everytime I try to download it, it gives me two options. Remove the program or repair it. Everytime I repair I need to restart the computer, and when I do this, I try to run the save editor again but I run into the same problem. Please help me, because I have no idea what I should do.

    everytime i try to open an xbox save it says: Failed to load save: invalid or unsupported version

    i have tried everything i have no idea what to do…. any solutions

  24. synd says:

    I’ve tried using the editor to add heads and skins. It works fine on loading but if you change it, you can’t change it back… the added heads/skins aren’t on the changestation.

    Is this to be expected or am I doing something wrong?

    • Kugur says:

      Are you changing your skin on the first tab? where you edit your level? That only edits your current skin.
      If you want the skin unlocked, then you either use a GPD editor or just add the skin items in your inventory.

  25. Julien says:

    Please help! Whenever I try to create an item and choose a prefix or title it is just a blank space where the dropdown menu options should be.

    • Kugur says:

      You dont need to choose a prefix or title. When you equip the item/weapon in-game, the name will appear.

      • Julien says:

        But the item is in red whenever I try to use it and when I leave the item page, all of the things reset and disappear !

  26. Apapeur says:

    hi,
    i’ve used the editor for the first time today, and now, i can’t fire with my weapon while i’m zooming (clic 2 + 1)… it’s still working with my xbox controller, but nothing with my mouse 😼
    i’ve edited 1 char only, but i’ve the same problem with all, and same problem with old save and new one.
    i’ve reset options > controls
    i don’t have any problem with my mouse or my computer etc.
    i’ve done windows update today too, but nothing about my mouse (many framework 3.5 updates, i’ve taken a look for v4.0 required for the editor).
    maybe is a link, maybe not.
    hope u’ll have an idea 😡
    thanks for all.
    ps : sry for my poor english

  27. joe says:

    when i try to open my save on to the program it says failed its got an invalid sh1 what do i do please sort this out i hope this is really good program to use

  28. ricardo says:

    hey can i mod weapons wit this

    • Wisecarver says:

      Three things are spot-on with this, bringing your weapon to your current level, increasing the value of your weapon and adding elemental damage, all are simple.
      Be aware these things are allowed on PC but may get users banned on some platforms, so I’ve been told. 😉

  29. Max says:

    I am having some problems with the edits I make on the computer transferring on to my PS3, for example: I change the amount of Eridium in the editor, refresh & encrypt using “Bruteforce Save Data”, then I copy it back on to the flash drive, eject said flash drive safely, move it over to the PS3 boot up the game, and my nothing has changed.

    can someone please tell me what is going on.

  31. J2 says:

    So I’ve heard that you can edit Quest XP and money throught the editor but cant seem to figure it out myself and can’t find a tutorial on how to do it. Any help on how to do it on Gibbed or an editor that will do it?

    Hi, whenever I try to create an item it has the item in red and whenever I go to another page in the app my item settings disappear!

  35. Hullo, Rick.

    I have a couple of questions about your program. How it works, how you bypassed the checksums, and such. It is quite an interesting subject, and may help in the future in regards to hacking saves of other games.

    Is there any way I could contact you privately? I cannot seems to find your contact info anywhere.

  37. Hashbrowns says:

    Is there a way to edit badass challenges/tokens at all? Can’t seem to find.

    • Wisecarver says:

      Don’t think so but I think there was and Gearbox was fervently tracking down the methods since it purges their system, which we in respect for them should not do, agree?

  38. sojuboii says:

    whenever i try to enable chaos reign skin and save it on mechromancer, it doesn’t appear.
