This editor is no longer being updated and does not support newer Borderlands patches. It is highly recommended that you use WillowTree# instead.
Newer build of my Borderlands save editor, fixes the problem with editing Roland (Soldier) saves, as well as several other minor changes and fixes.
If you encounter any problems (crashes, etc), feel free to comment this post.

quick noob question (blushes). does the for example: 100×3 mean 300 damage? or does it mean it does 100 dmg with three bullets per click?
It means with each click, the gun will shoot 3 bullets, with each bullet dealing 100 damage.
Is there any way to get back all the missions I completed before my character’s stuff was erased?

So I’ve created two weapons so far, one was an eridian shock mod that instead using the ball-type rounds, and it works fine.
My problem is a shotgun I’m trying to make with a dove barrel and the volcano acc. Whenever I load a game, it is grade 0 (crappy dmg, no lvl requirement)

How would I get this to go to grade 5 properly? Also, general suggestions to improve it would be apprectiated ^_^

Next uploads will go to external site, don’t want to spam up the blog.
@matthias5770
Try changing the manufacturer from gd_manufacturers.Manufacturers.Hyperion to the other manufacturers.
I’ve tried different ones, but it doesn’t work. Do I need to change the materials to match, or just the manufacturer?
That did it. Now it has 523 x 9 with the volcano effect and dove revolver, as well as 4.0x zoom. Fun…….
You can replace magazine, Grip, Material, action, accessory, even the sight to gd_weap_repeater_pistol.UniqueParts.TheDove_barrel4 for higher damage %’s. You can switch out the body for it aswell but it looks like youre carrying around a floating barrel.

Found a really insane setup for anyone who wants to totally destroy anything. These weapons may say they shoot rockets, but they don’t, except for the actual rocket launcher they shoot bullets, and they work online with the same amount of damage. I could have got the damage a little bit higher but honestly, you won’t need more:

Basically it involved a lot of trial and error to find out how much i could change without it overwriting the bullets with rockets. If you change anything on them they’re liable to shoot rockets (which do 0 damage), so be careful.
Oh yeah those guns do so much damage that they also seem to have cool side effects. If you shoot someone in the torso 50% of the time their whole upper torso will explode 😀
@Semtex
In regards to overwriting bullets with rockets; the order of the fields are important, as whatever effect is evaluated last is used.
Grade, Manufacturer, Type, Body, Grip, Magazine, Barrel, Sight, Stock, Action, Accessory, Material, Prefix, Title.
Well, ok, nevermind… but that order is close.
Hello semtex, I’ve entered those specifications but the results are no where near that of your .jpg The only thing I can think of is the clip size which you haven’t specified (mine are at 0), if not that, then what’s going on? (I’ve doubledchecked i pasted them correctly).
Cheers
Looks like the order ends in ‘Prefix, Material, Action, Accessory’, not sure where Title is…
Damn, I’m way off. Not gonna bother experimenting with the order any more… but there is an order of evaluation to the resulting weapon.
Darn, order of evaluation is less important than order of type of effect per element per evaluation. Good luck.
Unholy just double check everything, i even typed the fields in myself to another of my save games (mordecal) and it still worked. Clip size doesn’t matter, mine is 0 aswell
The things that pump up the damage are the carnage barrells in the Material, Stock and Action. Make sure those are typed in correctly.
Hey, everyone making fancy unlegit items and shit, is there a possible way to find the code for a machine pistol which is legit.. but still godly.. same with shield / class mods.. etc… ty.
Rick,
In your code I see a variable for the playthrough. Of course there’s no fields to modify it in the app, though…I was wondering if you had messed with modifying this and if you knew whether or not it was possible.
@Ampd You could always just mod a pistol that’s dropped. For example; take the clipper that drops off 9 toes and change it’s sight body or accessory. If you’re just wanna make it better, just change the level lol.
Carried around a bone shredder for-ever that way.
@Who-ever it was whining about a bad excuse of changing saves.
I’ve screwed up a good dozen saves by clicking the wrong one. Time and time again. Before I edit them, I make a copy and toss it onto my desktop. :þ
@Semtex …G G. lol Gonna go do that myself here in a min. Nice find. Just starting to mess around with parts in different slots or “hybrids” as I called em earlier. Gonna see what else I can come up with.
@Jack (This reply habit I have is getting old.) Nice job with the editor patching. Though Rev12 seemed fine to me. GJ either way. B)
@Rick, I just noticed you’ve got an SVN. Did you mention that someplace? lol Killer work so far man!
hey semtex, so sorry, i seem to have left the grade column completely empty (renders the guns about 10x worse). cheers, my bad.
@ampd i made a shield with all same manufacturer parts witch means its pretty legit and still godly (1938 capacity with a 118 recharge rate) if you want it just look above for another post by me
Could someone please post all the Eridian Weapons?
PLZ im collecting them
Made a melee weapon. Could get the melee damage higher at the expense of losing gun aesthetics, but whats the point, 750% is already insane 😀

And yes i found out titles and prefixes are interchangeable, you could even call a gun ‘Bitch Bitch’ or ‘Bastard Bastard’ 😛
@semtex
nice guns, is it possible to get a high burst count in there with the high dmg for a totally non legit weapon?
@baren
Sure, you can do that, but at the cost of accuracy and reload speed.
Just replace the carnage barrels in the Stock, Action and Material with this:
gd_weap_combat_shotgun.UniqueParts.BoomStick_barrel3_Carnage
Btw if youre gonna be making some of those burst fire weapons, use this magazine instead. I normally don’t put it in because its total overkill, but it gives between +90 and +100 to magazine size on all weapons:
gd_weap_support_machinegun.UniqueParts.TheMeatGringer_mag5
Anyway the result of using boomstick barrels instead and giving it the big magazine is this:
http://www.genocidaltendencies.co.uk/tbitch.jpg
Total utter overkill, shame about the accuracy and massive reload time. Without any mods or weapon skill it fires out 336 bullets in one second, each of them doing 2245 damage :/ On my lilith with a mercenary mod the bullets are hitting for between 4000-8000 depending on the target. Even if you take it at 4000, the low number, that’s well over a million damage in one second.
Can’t seem to get the Vector title on any of my weapons. Acc is applied but title won’t show. This is for SMGs as well. Any ideas?
http://www.genocidaltendencies.co.uk/portablecarpetbomber.jpg
One squeeze of the trigger fires 18 rounds (54 rockets) in 2 seconds, with a wide spread. Literally if you point this at a room and pull the trigger everything in it will die.

The downside is it takes a long time (between 5 and 10 seconds) to reload, you can’t even get enough ammo to fill it up, and it blows your whole inventory of rockets in a few seconds, which then take quite a while to regenerate.
Actually doing the maths, i think that weapon could realistically kill the final boss in 2 seconds.
do these work for Xbox 360 because im using willowtree?
It killed Ultimate Rakk Hive in 1 second flat hehe, the rockets were hitting for 70k each
@Semtex
You forgot a manufacturer.
Do you think I could have your aim Sem :D? Please ^^?
Basically, I want to be able to play my 360 characters on my PC.
Of course, I can just edit their stats, but that doesn’t put me where I was in the story. Both of my characters are actually level 36 and right after the first playthrough. Since I’m at such a convenient point, I was wondering if there was possibly an easy way to modify the save so my PC characters are at the same place in the story.
Any advice would be appreciated.
One thought was that I could just find a PC save that’s at that point in the story, then edit my stats in, but I haven’t been able to find any PC saves really.

From quite a bit up 😮
This editor is awesome fun to mess around with!
I’ve been getting some info from here, but a lot of it is wrong, confusing or doesn’t fully document the effects…
But, it is a good resource for finding parts.
http://blmodding.wikidot.com/start
As its a Wiki we can all work together to complete the lists and find all the best parts, especially the more hidden ones.
For instance I added the Mag
gd_weap_machine_pistol.mag.mag3_SandS_Thanatos
to a revolver for a clip of 54-59 (depending on manufacturer) – and it gives the model of that cool 3-shot revolving barrel 🙂
@anon/Piponeillungo82:
Thanks so much for doing that, but I’m getting an error from the link…”The download link has been manipulated and is therefore not valid. ”
Any way you could re-upload it and show me what I’m doing wrong?
I really appreciate it
Here’s a Level 36 Mordecai Save.
Just started Playthrough 2.
It has some modded guns, and such.

it didnt work 🙁
investigated Class Mods quite a bit, focussing on Mordecai’s Survivor Mod.
