Gibbed Save Editor is a free Windows utility for editing save files in Borderlands 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, and Mass Effect 2. In Borderlands 2, it can change characters, gear, currencies, and data in the Raw tab. The Mass Effect 2 editor covers credits, resources, Paragon and Renegade points, character details, squad and loyalty, and decisions imported from Mass Effect 1, but it does not offer detailed face or appearance sculpting. Steam and Epic PC saves use the same format and can be edited without extra tools. Console saves are encrypted and signed, so working with them involves decrypting, editing, then re-encrypting and re-signing. The official site’s download buttons lead to Rick Gibbed’s GitHub releases; the site says it hosts no files. The maker says the source is public and calls antivirus detections of the genuine GitHub download false positives. Back up saves before editing: overwriting one with a bad edit can break it. Borderlands 2 version 1.0.46 is identified as the final official release, dated May 30, 2020; there is no editor for Borderlands 3.
Who it is for
It suits Windows players of Borderlands 2, The Pre-Sequel, or Mass Effect 2 who want to edit supported save data. PC users can work with Steam and Epic saves without extra tools; console workflows require additional steps.
