Borderlands Save Editor (Revision 10)

This editor is no longer being updated and does not support newer Borderlands patches.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.

  4. CheUnit8 says:

    hey guys i’ve tried to use this program and when i make a weapon starting from scratch character (level 50, Arid Badlands) the gun works perfectly. But when i try and make the gun from an old profile (finished game), the gun doesn’t appear at all in my inventory or my tab list.

    Can anybody help me? I don’t seem to understand how the thing works or get the guns i want, I’ve followed the instructions and used a few of your guys’ guns like this:
    gd_weap_sniper_rifle.A_Weapon.WeaponType_sniper_rifle
    gd_itemgrades.Weapons.ItemGrade_Weapon_SemiAutoSniperRifle

    I just dont seem to get it to work on a finished game file, but it works when i start a new character from scratch??

    • Dark_Rak3r says:

      It seems like you might be saving to the wrong save file. Double check that it’s the right one.

    • jinx says:

      Check the post below those specs, I wrote the prefix wrong in the first one.

      This rifle has been posted before on an earlier page, just modified the accessory.

    • 01010110 says:

    And when i open the .exe, it says “Borderlands Save Editor has stopped working”

    • ellu69 says:

      you need to extract all the files from the ZIP file to a location, then run the exe
      running from the ZIP the program does not find the DLL’s and crashes

  8. John says:

    P.S. it will lag just a little it wen u fire this weapon
    but it wont do anything bad

  16. Randark says:

    Suggestion. Make a quests tab, in which user may check/uncheck quests. Or make a flag for endgame/notendgame state. that will allow to play 2nd playthrough all over with 48lvl foes. Im currently digging the save file for that flag, but with no luck (((

  17. Mr Mc OwNaGe says:

    hey how do i make wepons accurate like i have made a brutal ass sniper rifle it is like 9.8kx3 damage but the accuracy went to shit its like 12.1 i stacked a bunch of them carnage barrel stuff and i got rid of the stock and i changed the barrel to the unlimited bullet one and does a stock increase accuracy by a ton?

  18. Dexxoz says:

    after i unzip it it say there was an error and says send or dont send how do i g et it to work

  19. Mr Mc OwNaGe says:

    okay hey guys i made 4 revolvers that is 6666×3 ir 6715×3 but all the acid or lightning crap its only x1 how can i bump that up to x4 with out messing with accuracy damage or fire rate???

  20. Hman242 says:

    Says my save file version is unsupported and lists the number 33554432. I have a ps3 save, what gives?

  21. Brett says:

    Any update on a version compatible with PS3? Or does this one work with it?

  22. OmegaBlack says:

    I have a UK version of the game with disc ID “BLES00697”. How do I get the data to save to be compatible with this region game?

  23. Unnecessary says:

    I downloaded the file but when I try to open it I get “Borderlands Save Editor has stopped working” immediately.

    How can I fix that?

  24. Caboose says:

    Hey, great stuff guys. I especially love the semi-auto sniper with that empties the clip when scoped. Just wondering if anyone has a clean lvl 50 lilith game save that they can upload, because I can’t seem to figure out how to make a new game save with lilith at lvl 50.

  25. kiwi pirate says:

    how do i change weapon stats?? like damage, fire rate and accurarry or how to spell it…

  26. Boreslayer says:

    Hi, I was wondering what are the codes to implement random elemental effect when fired. I used this weapon mod from this site http://blmodding.wikidot.com/hall-of-fame, the AR24 Shattering Gasher and its quite gay. Only thing is that its base dmg is quite long but the elemental effects are awesome. Can anyone help me with increasing the base dmg w/o sacrificing the random elemental effect or can someone help me with identifying which code gives the random elemental effect?

  27. Kyle says:

    Is it possible to change a character’s class with this? My friend and I were playing coop and got to level 16, but his character didn’t get saved for some reason. I was hoping I could open my character with this program and just change the class (from the sniper to soldier) but it doesn’t seem to work.

    If not, is there a way to make a new character, up its level and change the quests so we can play together again?

  28. Unnecessary says:

    how do i change weapon stats?? like damage, fire rate and accurarry or how to spell it…

    Different parts have different effects on stats. Go here for more information: http://blmodding.wikidot.com/start

    The Atlas Chimera part (the one that gives the random elemental effect) replaces the spot for another part. That other part gives you the capability for increasing the damage, and without that extra available part you will suffer a lack of base damage. You could replace another part of the weapon that doesn’t give any (or as significant) bonuses and replace that with a part that increases base damage to balance it out.

    Have they fixed the save editing on PS3 now? Some of my editted ones do not work when i copy them to the PS3.

    Thanks dude. Ive been having trouble with the save files, as my bro and friend files both occupy the save slot 1. I opened the save0001.sva using Notepad, and noticed each file had a plyr# of *. I cahnged it to like ), but then the game considered it corrupted. Seems whenever u edit the file using another program not suited by Borderlands, it considers it corrupted (even if u dont change anything on the file itself).

    Thanks for this program dude. Ur a lifesaver. An i mean the good kinda life saver, not the simple minty one πŸ˜›

    • AishaLove says:

      You may well have already beaten the DLC, the DLC scales to your level when you start it up and then scales based on your completion within the DLC content from what I have seen.
