  1. xDeadlyxLOTHx says:

    I downloaded your software and extracted it as well. But when I go to run the program, nothing pops up. Was wondering if there was anything else I needed to run the program. thx in advance

    • Jason says:

      You have to install NETFRAMEWORK 4 from microsoft

      • xDeadlyxLOTHx says:

        It shows on my laptop that I currently am running net framework 4. Which I figured was the problem, me not having it, but again, i try to open gibbed, the pointer loads, then nothing, as if nothing happened

        • xDeadlyxLOTHx says:

          Would there be anything else that could be preventing it from opening? I’m trying everything, can’t find In the Internet with someone having the same problem as me.

    • statusefffect says:

      How did you get it to finally work? I am having the same problem.

  2. oh hey there says:

    So ive used the save editor to adjust my characters level but ive noticed that my character wont level up (set it to level 10) is this normal?

  3. Tobs says:

    It’s do cool tnx 😀

  4. maddy says:

    Hey guys, anyone know how to activate the DLC skins on the xbox with this editor? (supremacy,domination etc)

    • Blakwidowstang says:

      You can’t. When they are purchased from the marketplace a value is changed in your profile and not your save file.

  5. nam600 says:

    HELP PLZ! i download the file, i do have the net framework 4.0 full version, but gibbed wont open up and instead, it pops up a error report message.

    • Blakwidowstang says:

      You would probably receive more help if you posted an exact error message.

      • TheVicious85 says:

        @ Blakwidowstang… you are a GOD!!! everytime I try to come up with a useful tool you always beat me to is smh lol its cool though… I appreciate ALL your work…and Deftoned and Leo Maximus… you guys are always on top of things

    Hey Rick
    Is there any possible way to set our active quests to finished?
    This would be helpful cause i dont want to do 3 playthrough with every char.
    THX

    • CMoon says:

      You can just set your character’s class to a different class to play as them.

      • Trachsu says:

        No i want to have every char but i dont want to do 3 playthrough with every one.
        So is there a way to set the active quests on Finished?
        So it would be much faster to quest.

        • CMoon says:

          You just need to (Using what I do for the Xbox):

          -Extract Save0001.sav
          -Extract save game data
          -Copy extracted Save0001.sav
          -Rename Save0001.sav to Save0002.sav
          -Set character class with this tool
          -Export into your new Save0002.sav
          -Rehash/Resign/Save to device
          -Test (even though this should work the first try)

          I did this a couple times just to find out what kind of class I play as best.

    your new editor does not open and i have all available components you need to fix please

    • TheVicious85 says:

      I downloaded it and opened it just fine… you either did something wrong, doing something wrong, or it didn’t download correctly…try downloading it again and extract it to your desktop

    • TheVicious85 says:

      when are you getting this error? when you try to open the save or when you try to save?

      • TheWookieBreath says:

        I have the same error message, I have everything downloaded correctly, so far as I know. I have used prior versions of this editor for the Xbox, and am comfortable using it, but downloaded this update to accommodate the new update from Gearbox.

        I get the error message while uploading or opening a character account to modify.

        • TheVicious85 says:

          well i know for PS3 you should have the most up-to-date version of Bruteforce and Gibbed… and I stopped getting this message… i don’t know about Xbox…but I would assume you would need to make sure you have the most up-to-date Xploder, Horizon, Modio, or whatever other program that decrypts your game save

  11. Eric says:

    Are we still unable to push the level past the cap with this editor? Whatever I set the level to shows up at the intro menu screen but any weapons that are past the level cap are not usable and stay highlighted red in my backpack but show the level I have them set at.

    • TheVicious85 says:

      yes they PATCHED the game… its not an Editor Issue… Level 61 is the highest if you have the patch otherwise its Level 50…anything set higher will not work

    • TheVicious85 says:

      you could also delete the additional downloaded content and play offline and you could then play at level whatever and it will work

    • alevin7 says:

      Just go finish the last mission, which is the flying city one and it is the reward.

    • omnomberry says:

      – Go to the ‘Bank’ tab, then click on the ‘New Item’ button.
      – In Type, select GD_StorageDeckUpgrade.A_Item.INV_SDU_WeaponEquipSlot
      – In Balance, select: GD_ItemGrades.StorageDeckUpgrades.ItemGrade_SDU_WeaponEquipSlot
      – In Manufacturer, select: GD_Manufacturers.Manufacturers.Stock
      – Keep the rest of the fields untouched.
      – Save
      – Load character and go to bank and claim the SDU.

      It’s important that they go in the bank and not your backpack.

  15. Bleh says:

    Hello, I just recently updated to the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade pack, the one that puts the level cap at 61. I downloaded the newest revision and whenever I try to open a save I get an error message that says invalid or unsupported version?

  16. Monty says:

    I used an old version to change my level, and gave me 4 error messages, now when i start playthough 3, the playthrough is a bit messed up, i start back in the very, very start. Any clue how to fix this?

    • TheVicious85 says:

      well first things first… what system are you using…and second… once you get everything up-to-date I would load your character from the title screen and it will ask you what Playthrough do you want to Play and if you look at Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode it will ask you if you want to Reset the Playthrough…hopefully that helps

    Hi, So when i try to load my 360 save (i extract it with horizon) it says Failed to load save: cannot load XBOX 360 CON files, extract save using modio or equivalent please help

    • Telazorn says:

      I am having the same issue if anyone knows of a working xbox extractor please help.

      • Telazorn says:

        Sorry i have tryed this Modio its garbage and does not see my thumb drive at all on my PC nor do others i have tryed…

    • TheVicious85 says:

      Well did you select Xbox in the drop down arrow before you pressed the Open button…and also you might need to UPDATE Horizon

      • RichxReaper1994 says:

        yeah i did and i have an updated horizon

      • RichxReaper1994 says:

        do i need every dlc?

      • Telazorn says:

        Yes i have the updated Horizon & 153 of the editor still getting the same error….

        • Jbear says:

          In order to get it to work in horizon you need to do 2 things. After locating your save game double click it. then a box will pop up. Go over to the contents tab and extract that data. Don’t ask me why it is different but it is.

          Still No Clue why i can use Horzion? and i have tryed the others software to extract nothing works.

          • CMoon says:

            You need to:

            -Extract the “savegame.sav” from “Save000#.sav”
            -Open up the editor
            -Select your save
            -Select your save type (PS3, PC, or Xbox)
            -Do your changes
            -Save the changes
            -Export “savegame.sav” back into “Save000#.sav”
            -Rehash/Resign/Save to device
            -Have fun testing

  23. case says:

    i just tried opening up one of my saved games and i keep getting failed to load save: invalid SHA1 hash what do i have to do to get it to work?

  24. Mike says:

    Hi
    The editor is very great but I cannot load my save files from XBox with all DLC´s. Only files from Internet are working.
    Ever I try to load savegame.sav I get the message “Failed to load save: invalid or unsupport version”

    I used Horizon to extract and replace the savegame.sav

    Any Idea?

    • CMoon says:

      When opening the save, are you going to the little tab next to the area that shows what you’ve clicked on? There’s settings for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, and if you choose the wrong one, it gives you an error.

  25. vGoonz says:

    It wont let me open my save it keeps saying failed to load because you have an invalid or unsupported version and i download the 53Riv and its a brand new save

    • JasMan86 says:

      they will only work if u put them in the bank if u put em in ur backpack the games sanity checks will delete them also u hav to put them back in the bank everytime u leave ur game or they will b deleted when u load up again

  27. Roland says:

    Editin general skill points not working for me. I just edit and saved and when i load the the game the points i added are dispeared.

    • Nervocalm says:

      Is not an editor issue my friend… The game is patched so you can’t exceed the limit of the game (46 skills points without level cap increase and 56 with it). I you already have that many, applied or not, the game sanity check will remove the remaining.

      • Flargon says:

        You can edit your allocated points in the editor in the Advanced tab as a library. The game does not check this yet. Use a website map of the skilltrees to see what each skills max is so as not to go beyond it. I believe the editor also shows a skill for the siren that is not i the game. I do not know if it was removed for balancing purposes, or is to be unlocked in a future DLC, but I would not suggest allocating any points in it.

        • Flargon says:

          Sorry, the raw tab, not the advanced, and it is a collection, not a library. I was going from memory. I’m too afraid to put a skill past it’s max, or allocate to the one siren skill, but let me know if it works if anyone is willing to be so brave.

  28. Apple says:

    Hey, I get the error Failed to load save: Invalid SHA1 hash. I decrypted it and everything, please help.

    • oldsnake90 says:

      how do you load a save every time i try i get a error saying “Failed to load save: Invalid SHA1 hash” how do i load it?

  29. Mathew says:

    I am having trouble opening game saves also. I extracted my save data from Horizon and it says that the save is invalid. I went a step further and created a new game save with the save editor, I cannot re-open it either (same error message). Thoughts? Thanks!

    • Mathew says:

      Heck, NM, I figured it out 30 seconds after I posted this! Sorry… Thanks for the awesome application!

  30. kjoinne says:

    same here.. but didnt figure it out…

  31. Ben says:

    How do i change the playthrough and mission so i can be at the end of UVHM?

  32. Maverick says:

    I have used the program before but is it possible to convert a save file from ps3 to pc using this? Or know of a way of converting as well as converting the profile data?

  33. shadow says:

    is there a way to select multiple items to delete them? or a shortcut to delete items? or any faster way than right clicking each one and clicking delete?

  34. Ikb says:

    i do all of the modding and whenever i put it on my ps3 and open it on borderlands it is corrupted

  35. Kero-chan says:

    I can’t load my PS3 save file. I’ve updated the game to 1.04 (the UVHM patch) and decrypted the file using PS3SFOEdit. The error message I get from Gibbed is “Failed to load save: LZO decompression failure (LookbehindOverrun)”. I really have NFI what that means or what I’ve done wrong so I’d appreciate any help.

    While I’m at it – can you use this editor to increase your backpack/bank storage? If so – does the value have to remain within what is legitimately obtainable? I ask because I gave Lilith one hundred inventory slots in the original game.

    • Kero-chan says:

      Forgot to mention that BruteForce gives the following warning when I decrypt my save file – “Warning: A disc hash key was not found. A fallback disc hash key will be used”.

      • TheVicious85 says:

        Bruteforce needs to be updated if you haven’t already done so…and 2nd Bruteforce ALWAYS says that so just ignore it… 3rd no you CAN NOT give your character more backpack space the game will just reset it to what it should be

  36. InfamousAk says:

    Ok so i got the save to load in the editor, made everything, saved and reloaded it all to my xbox. Now when i start up my game and load the character, i go to start the game and it sits in the loading screen forever. GAME WILL NOT LOAD. idk if anyone else has had this issue, have used older versions of the editor in the past and they worked fine, not until after the 3rd dlc did this issue start happening. would really like to play the game, not have to start all over again. PLEASE HELP.

    • TheVicious85 says:

      I’m not to familiar with Xbox but I know when my character took forever to load it was because I have A LOT of weapons, items, and skins on my character…so maybe thats your issue… so make a backup copy of your save then delete all your weapons/items/skins save and then try loading it…if that don’t work then IDK what to say

  37. tronx says:

    every time i open the file it said failed to load save:invalid or unsupported version whats wrong?

  38. CMoon says:

    I was able to get 500 eridium with this editor! I just filled in all the “Reserved Slots” with “99999999” and tested it out in the game. You have the capability, you just need to somehow integrate it with the “Eridium” slot.

  39. jake says:

    hello love the editor but i cant use the revision 153. I have my save open in horizon and extract it, then close save. I open it in your editor and get
    Failed to load save: invalid or unsupported version. I don’t understand i have the most available editor that you put out but it still will not load any saves i have.
    I have season pass and all dlc downloaded, (no extra skins though) so maybe there is a modded blocker of some sort if you have the season pass or all dlc etc. If you can find out why it wont let me load saves it would be great, maybe another update or something thanks.

    • CMoon says:

      What type of file are you trying to open? “Save0001.sav” or “Savegame.sav”?

      If it’s “SaveGame.sav”, then what are you using to play the game? PC, PS3 or Xbox? There’s a little tab after “Filename” that should say “PC Save Files (*.sav)”. Change that to your console type, and then try again.

      • jake says:

        Wow lol for some reason i thought that the program loaded the save regardless from selecting the file type from console lol. this may be a lot of peoples problem, thanks so much for the help i kinda feel like an idiot hahah.

    how to edit badass rating and badass tokens?

    • CMoon says:

      You need to get a different editor for that. That editor also allows you to modify your golden keys.

        you will get banned for modding your badass rating, so play offline

          golden keys i can get with trainer and also i play with trainer online and still not banned (and i dont care about it). so how to modify badas rating?
