      The same thing is happening to me. I’m not entirely sure why, I wasn’t having this issue until I updated my save editor.

  2. DONTHATE8 says:

    The prefix and title slots are always blank and i cant make my own gun because of it.

    • DOMIN8 says:

      You don’t need to put anything in those slots. The game will automatically name your item when you load up your save.

    Hey guys,

    Just downloaded the latest rev 230 editor and net framework 4, restarted my PC,
    Ive extracted the same game file from the borderlands 2 folder so have Save0001.sav then extracted the game save from that file leaving me with SaveGame.sav
    My problem is Ive tried loading the SaveGame.sav into the gibbed editor and i get the error message saying: Failed to load save : invalid or unsupported version.
    I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong if anything, or if i have the wrong rev version for my BL2 save game?
    My BL2 isn’t the max lvl 72 version but the original lvl 50 game, Not got round to getting that far yet haha 🙂

    Any help much appreciated!
    Thanks, Jason.

  4. Ben says:

    Will this work on ps vita?

  5. Ruu says:

    installed Brute on my Windows 8 pc and tried the gibbed editor for BL2 and im getting the Failed to load save; Invalid SHA1 hash.. Think you can help?

  6. Alex says:

    I have the same problem, trying to open my PS3 file. “Failed to load save: Invalid SHA1 hash”.

  7. Jabe says:

    I dont have any problems with it. Just wondering if its possible for you to make it so we can take the level requirement off the item, but still have the same damage and all that like in borderlands 1.

    • Dion Starfire says:

      Probably not. Level affects at least the primary (damage for guns and grenades, capacity for shields). If you lower or remove the level requirement, those stats go down as well.

      • someone says:

        Actually, it is possible, look at the Premiere Club or wahtever it is for pre-ordering and the GOTY editions. These have no level, and, IIRC, increase damage as you level with them.

  8. Brobiwan says:

    Save editor doesn’t open. I have used it in the past but now it is not opening. I have tried to download again and that doesn’t help.

    HELP

  10. Yolomcswaggins says:

    What does importing missions do can i ask? because i want to try give my low level character the 4 weapons slots right off the bat so i was wondering if this program can do that

    • DOMIN8 says:

      Just give yourself a couple Weapon Equip SDUs in your Bank and then pull them out in game and it will unlock them.

  11. MushroomMan says:

    I recently started using the Raw ItemData in order to get all the Community Day Heads & Skins, quite successfully actually. (The only thing I didn’t do that tutorials said I should was add a Quantity. Still worked though)
    After I finished all the Community Day Skins, I tried using it for the Poker Night 2 Heads & Skins, but when I hit save, they do not appear in my backpack. In fact, no matter what I put in my ItemData section does not load into my backpack Not even the Community Day Skins (They Worked the 1st time, however) I’m at a Loss of what to do, I tried adding a quantity, and I tried adding a level requirement of 1. Nothing quite worked. Requesting Help.

  12. hmeiser says:

    The editor works fine for my standar char. But how can i complete all area challenges with my char. in the second challange?
    It doesnt work for me. ?? XBOX360

    • DOMIN8 says:

      What do you mean by “in the second challenege”?

      • hmeiser says:

        I don´t know the name.
        -normal Vaulthunter
        -real Vaulthunter and Ultimativer Vaulthunter. I play the second (real) and like to complete the all area challenges. When i play the normal VH it´s works for me.

        • DOMIN8 says:

          Challenges aren’t playthrough specific. You can complete them in any play through.

          • hmeiser says:

            i’m still confused.
            I want do this: http://www.se7ensins.com/forums/threads/how-to-complete-all-area-challenges-with-gibbeds.868975/
            But with my real vaulthunter (the second playthrough) and nothing happens. I change the LastPlaythroughNumber in Gibbed.
            – All locations are not complete and unlocked. No Fully Explored Areas.
            With my normal vaulthunter (first playthrough) it´s ok. Why??

          • DOMIN8 says:

            All you should have to do is paste in the information into your FullyExploredAreas section and paste in the numbers into LevelChallengeUnlocks and OneOffLevelChallengeCompletion. That should do all the area challenges for that character.

          • hmeiser says:

            I have found the solution. MissionPlaythrough. In MissionPlaythroughData the first one is Playthrough 1 (Normal Mode), the second one is Playthrough 2 (True Vault Hunter Mode), and the third one is UTVH. Normal mode is fully unlocked and all the area challenges are ok.
            But the second not. Any Idea how i can transfer all data from Playthrough 1 to Playthrough 2?

          • DOMIN8 says:

            You can copy the mission data of you want but, that has nothing to do with challenges. Challenges are completed only once per character, regardless of playthrough.

    Getting error message failed to load invalid SHA1 hash am on ps3

    • DOMIN8 says:

      Have you decrypted your save with Bruteforce?

      • Death says:

        Same error, and yes, I decrypted with Bruteforce.

        • DOMIN8 says:

          Hrm… well that’s all you should have to do as long as it’s actually being decrypted. I know some people had/have issues with certain versions of Bruteforce but, I use 3.8 with no issues.

          • Death says:

            Are there any specific .dll files that I should have in my Bruteforce/Borderlands 2 Save Editor folders?

  14. heyitswalrus says:

    I’m using this on pc, but the General Skill Points doesn’t work. Do I have to increase the level? (What I did was set level to 10, and General Skill Points to 30)

    Also is there a way to unlock all skins?

    • heyitswalrus says:

      ah! i searched the comments and found the tutorial for the skills.

      But the second question, is there a way to unlock the skins?

      • DOMIN8 says:

        If you are on PC or Xbox you can use the Profile/GPD editor. On PS3 you would have to use a save and unlock them all.

  15. paul dixon says:

    i downloaded this but it will not open

  16. Matthew says:

    will the save editor work on xbox? if so, how can i make it happen?

    • DOMIN8 says:

      The save editor will work on Xbox saves. You will have to use Horizon to extract them however.

      • Owen says:

        i try to open my xbox360 save it says failed to load save: invalid or unsupported version what do i do? it works for my pc saves

        • BRKR says:

          Change filetype from PC saves to Xbox saves bottom right

          • Dale says:

            That doesn’t work for me. Trying to load my bl2 save extracted from horizon i click new then change to xbox360 and hit open and get the same error

  17. Justyn says:

    My Gibbed Save Editor does not open. No matter what I do, it doesn’t open. I’ll click on it for a half an hour or more to nothing. I’ll try running it in Administrative Mode and nothing happens. Does anyone know how to fix this or what the problem may be?

  18. PEACEWOLF says:

    Hi, im having a problem with the skins and heads on my krieg charachter on pc. I change and save them, but they don’t appear on my character and he goes to default skin and head. PLz help! by the way these are dlc skins and heads by the way.

  19. Victor Pache says:

    Hello my friend! This is just to let you know that the editor(s) does not work for the most recent BL2 patch.

    Whenever I try to load my current BL2 PS3 save-game, it gives me an error saying “Failed to load save: invalid SHA1 hash.” I can load my older saves just fine (from 2013 and 2012…that was when BL2 last modified them).

    I downloaded the Willowtree editor to see if it worked, and it is also having the same problem, “Could not load save.” It is also able to open the older saves just fine. My guess is that BL2 changed how the game saves are written, and the editors can’t read them anymore.

    Extra info: the only DLC I have is Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty.

    – Just for curiosity –

    If I deleted the BL2 game data (in order to do a fresh install from the CD), do you know if it will get rid of the patches? If it does, then I can load up my characters and upgrade my stats before I update to the patch again…if that makes sense.

    I’m not too tech savvy, so if there’s anything else you might need to possibly release a fix for the issue, please let me know and I’ll do my best to help. I like the PS4, but my PS3 still lives because of BL2!! 🙂

  20. Shadowhog13 says:

    When I put my the file back into my ps3 it gives me the levels and money but none of the weapons I put are in there is there a way to fix that in game?

  21. rabiddesert says:

  22. Destroyer2552 says:

    Hello!
    I’m sorry if this has already been asked, but it seems the editor does not have options for the legendary class mods, for example the “legendary nurse” or “legendary pointman”.
    The Editor also seems to have issues with some pearlescent weapons specifically the “Godfinger” and “Tunguska”
    Thanks for a great piece of software!

  32. MnstrSilverado says:

    The editor works just fine for pc and PS3 (extract with Bruteforce Save Data) saves, but when i use Horizon and extract my Xbox Save, open with the Editor (X360 Save Files *.sav) I get the message “Failed to load save: cannot load XBOX 360 CON files, extract save using Modio or equivalent.” I tried using Modio and still didn’t work for me. How do i get it to work?

  33. JustTheGuy says:

    So I’m wondering if you can use this editor for skill points; if so, how?

    • DOMIN8 says:

      There is a Shield Parts Guide on the official GBX forums that should have the info you’re looking for. I don’t have a link handy at the moment though.

  45. Dion Starfire says:

    Any chance of including an auto-backup function? A simple routine to copy the currently opened file to filnamexxx.yy.sav, where xxx is the save number (e.g. 001, 002), and yy is a number it will increment if it receives a ‘file exists’ error. Or it could simply create a backup any time you open a file.
