Borderlands 3 Save Editor

A desktop based save and profile editor for Borderlands 3.

Installation / Usage

1. Download the exe/zip for your respective OS/setup available on the Releases tab.
   • Which one do I download? If you don't know which one to download, you probably will want to download BL3SaveEditor-Portable.zip^here. This is a self-contained windows binary. If that one doesn't launch for you, try downloading BL3SaveEditor.zip^here.
2. Then you download / run the exe
3. Click Open, then you can select either a profile (profile.sav) or a game save ([NUMBERS].sav).
4. You can now edit your profile or game save to your hearts content!
5. Once you think you're done editing your saves, you can save your file with either the Save button (which will overwrite your loaded file), or use the Save As button, allowing you to save to a new file. In either case, it will make backups to help keep your saves protected!

bl3saveeditor's Issues

Unable to save badass spent tokens

Hello, I am writing this because whenever i try to save the spent tokens it lightly flashes blue on save and gets stuck there and then stops. I go into the game to see if it saved and it doesn't, i have tried save as also, i go into the random numbers folder and then profile.sav and it still doesn't save the badass tokens spent. Any help for this?

Unable to open ps4 save files

I saw that this editor supported ps4 save files but when i import my ps4 save to my computer the editor does not recognize it at all. Idk if I am doing something wrong or not but can you please let me know and if I am being stupid on something can I be helped to better understand it

Outdated SerialDB + Item Names

GBX added a new update which added some cosmetics into the SerialDB. Currently updating the item names DB also requires updating the PythonSDK to fix a few bugs that got thrown in with the new update (:

more of a feature request

i'd really like to be able to add Loot O Grams to my inventory
when i try to add one now it gives "Error parsing serial: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: propertyName"

cant find cutpurse artifact ability

What would it be named under because I've searched the parts tab where everything else is it there?

Attempting to Add "Limited Time Heads" causes CTD in tool

As I was attempting to add heads that were from limited time events, the save editor crashes. When I added them manually by adding a valid item, and adjusting the item balance and inventory data to match these items, loading the editor gives an "Out of Index" error.

FL4Kenstein's Monster via expired code | CustomHead_Beastmaster_25
Camoufl4ge Epic; unlocked through Vault Insider Program (VIP) | CustomHead_Beastmaster_26
4NU Bust (Borderlands 3 content creator head) | CustomHead_Beastmaster_27

These were the only ones that I had issue adding for FL4K.

[Feature Request] Add ability to search parts and anointments lists

A nice feature to have would be to have the ability to search parts and anointment dropdown lists and have the dropdown lists dynamically remove items that do not meet the search criteria.

This would require some sort of mechanism to key in a search phrase. Maybe have the combo box clear the text out and use that for keying in the search criteria. The currently selected item would then need some sort of indicator so that it stands out in the list like different color text or background.

Error opening a save file

I tried opening my Steam Amara save file and I got an error titled "Save Parse Exception." Opening other character save files and my profile save file worked just fine so it's just my Amara that has this issue. I've attached an image of the error message, the Amara save file, and images of each tab of the save editor after trying to open it. After I click OK on the message, I can look through the tabs and majority of it is empty. It recognizes that it's my Amara save and has the playtime on it but every thing else is blank. No money, weapons, fast travel, etc.

save file getting corrupted uppon saving

here are the files:1=original.5=saved.zip

steps to reproduce:

1. i opened my save file with the editor
2. i saved the file with the editor

expected result: nothing is changed

actual result: a ~2kb file is created, instead of the original ~700kb, and it no longer works

notes: i think this might be caused by some strange custom items i have from way back, since it doesn't crash/corrupt my recently made Mose .sav

Example of a strange custom item

ideas for future update (if possible)

btw thanks for the quick fix on the last issue, all ideas are qol improvements.
so the first idea is maybe to allow for an option, when looking through some shall we say large inventories to alphabetically sort all the weapons in their respective groups. (by weapons name not prefixes due to many prefixes being available on multiple weapons)
i.e.
all weapons
a-z
sheilds
a-z
etc...
this is mostly just a little cleanup idea to remove unneeded duplicates.

second, is maybe in the event of accidental injection of quest only items, on purpose injection, or obtained in the campaign, to label with say red text all items that could be quest items by their name listing.

thanks in advance,

Changes made to items not saving

When changing a part in the editor, most changes won't register after the first change is made. I've tried reinstalling the software and everything I can think of to no avail. My only "fix" for this problem is to make the first change, switch to a different item, and then make another change right after. Not sure what's wrong with it unless it's a normal thing with the editor, in which case... why would that be a thing.

Apologies ahead if this has already been mentioned, but I looked and couldn't find one so I figured I would bring this to light.

Unforgiven Legendary pistol is absent in part_name_mapping.json

Unforgiven Legendary pistol is absent in part_name_mapping.json, so UserFriendlyName failed to be showed right in list.
BL3(BOMwdWzeupH42PZLpfXV81Cch17TWnSUVnbNKQ5w2AqIkVzjFR7y) code for check. Item with that code was get "legaly" in game.

Cannot edit spent Guardian Tokens

Don't really know what helpful information I can leave here - it's not like I've got a crash log or anything. Whenever I edit how my Guardian Tokens are spent in my profile.sav, it won't save the changes. If I edit the Golden Key or Diamond Key counts afterwards, or save and reload, or save, launch the game, close the game, and reload, the changes are reset. Editing Guardian Rank and unspent Guardian Tokens works just fine, so all this means is I can't reduce or reallocate spent tokens, and it takes forever to spend them all. Oh, and whether the Guardian Rank, unspent Guardian Tokens, and spent Guardian Tokens are logically consistent doesn't seem to matter, either.

Terror/BloodyHarvest Annointments missing from Generic Parts List

Terror Anointments are missing from the Generic Parts List. Terror Anointments on existing weapons/items are read as other things. Selecting the same, "incorrect" Anointment for pre-existing Terror Anointments does not change the Anointment. Not editing weapons with existing Terror Anointments does not cause them to change to non-Terror Anointments. (I mention this to point out that, while this bug would prevent granting Terror Anointments, it does not seem to harm weapons that already had Terror Anointments.)

Example:
An example "The Butcher" with code (copied using the current version of the Borderlands 3 Save Editor):
BL3(BAAAAADM84C+wWBBI2MaDshtQLhwPqMSLpgQAgAAAAAAkDEAAA==)

Displayed, in-game Anointment: While Terrified, you have a chance to fire an extra projectile per shot. The more terror you have, the higher the bonus.
Expected Generic Part: GPart_All_Passive_TerrorProjectilesPerShot
Expected Generic Part not found on list of Generic Parts. Could not find way to add it manually.
Generic Part Displayed on the Generic Parts List when weapon is opened in current versions of the editor: GPart_Siren_Cast_WeaponDamage

Hopefully a fix is easy, but no matter how easy it might be, it's beyond a non-coder like me.

PS4 saves dont show up in the editor

The save editor does not show the ps4 saves. When I was looking into the saves I saw that the SP4 saves do not have the .save part at the end of the save. I tried to decrypt it with PS4 MAX but that does nothing to add the .sav that is required to be seen in the save editor is there a way to make it possible to allow the saves that don't have the .sav in the end?

"Profile" tab not working

I´m sorry, but why is the "profile" tab blacked out ?
I watched a few videos and most of them are able to access this feature.

Thank you for any valid response.

The items wont save

No matter what I do I can't seem to receive or keep the items I add to that save file. If I sync all the items that I already have to my level that saves, but any new items I add do not save. That is the only thing, all money, exp, and eridium that I add save, just not actual items.

PS4 Save Wizard Support?

Is there a way to make this have save wizard support. I know there is a way to use this without save wizard but I do not have bl3 on pc

Implement proper auto-updating for non-single file releases

This should be fairly simple when it's not built with SINGLE_FILE included, you can then change the args.DownloadURL to the proper form for an non-single file release.
This doesn't warrant an entirely new version so I'll bundle it into the next update if I remember.

When resizing the main window not all GUI elements resize properly.

The normal size of the main window is a bit small if you have a larger monitor. The app does have the ability to drag the edges and corners to resize, but not all GUI elements resize properly.

The Platform dropdown becomes too large and covers the other dropdowns in the General tab and the Profile tab.

The Inventory tab, the Add and Delete buttons for the Parts and Generic Parts panels do not stay docked on the right and left edges of the panels. They move to the center and cover each other until the width of the main window is large to accommodate both buttons.
Also the Parts and Generic Parts panels do get larger, but the scroll boxes containing the parts do not resize to the new panel size which results in a large open space at the bottom with a scroll bar on the right.

Edit:
It looks like the Platform Combo Boxes are both set to Stretch and should be Vertically Aligned to Top.
The Add and Delete buttons are set to Horizontal Right and Left justify and it should be swapped. The margins will need to be adjusted so the layout is the same.
The ListViews for the Parts and Generic Parts do not have auto enabled for the height attribute.

Implement serialization for inventory-keyless items

Certain items (i.e. ECHO Themes) can entirely lack an inventory key when we serialize the item; As long as it lacks actual parts, we don't really need the inventory key.
For now, the approach I've taken is to let the user be able to see but not modify the item if it lacks an inventory key, but in reality it only needs to block the addition of parts.

Unable to edit all class mod random stats

I am able to edit two of the three random class mod stats but one of the three will show up as ClassMod_Part_BeastMaster_01_Stats. Whenever I try to change this one it always reverts back to the beastmaster part.

Feature request. Customizations

Hey. I'm a perfectionist so I just noticed that as far as the weapon trinkets and room decorations go, there's a few missing. About 12 missing from room decorations and 2 from weapon trinkets. Everything else has all but would be cool if there was a unlock all car customizations as well. Thanks for the work!
@FromDarkHell

Doesn't work, only corrupts.

As the title says. That's all.

Lost access to a file?

Hi, I've been playing around with the BL3 Save Editor, and run into something similar to #20 (regarding the Index being out of range). What bothers me is that I can't even get back into it to access the file to fix the issue I caused, and was wondering if there was ANY WAY besides a nonexistent backup to fix the file.

For reference, here is the Debug info and a copy of the file giving me problems. Please convert the .txt to a .sav, since Github doesn't allow me to link it directly:

Profile Tab

Currently unable to access the "Profile" tab on any save, tried reinstalling, hasn't worked.

Crashed on save of character & cannot re-open - save parse "startIndex" out of range

I didn't make any changes to my character (1.sav) and clicked Save. The app then crashed, and I cannot re-open the character save and get dialog error pop:

Error parsing save: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

Here's a zip of my two files

I started up BL3 and my character got wiped :(. Any way this could be restored?

Error Parsing save: Invalid BL3 save

Hello everyone. I have a problem, the client does not read me the saves.
(I had already modded the character with savewizard).
1.I open SaveWizard-> I select the character and open the advanced mode
2. Export the save and add ". sav" to the file name
3. I open BL3 save editor and search for the file
4. Opening gives me file parsing error

Feature request: all vehicle unlocks button

Not sure how else to reach out to request this, but a button that unlocks all vehicle mods and skins would be super awesome, because I spent AGES trying to find the last 6-7 skins and had no luck whatsoever.

Characters disappear after editting profile.sav

I just started using the editor and read through the tutorial on how to use it, and even watched a video about how to use it. I wanted to add more gold keys to my account, but upon saving in the editor and opening the game, none of my characters were accessible and it is forcing me to make a new character.

I have been on my main singleplayer run for a few weeks now, and would prefer not to restart now. I did look in the game files and all of my profiles are still visible, but for some reason they arent loading in game. Any reason why?

Add support for legitimate anointments

Currently the weapon editor doesn't verify anointments for legitimacy, in the future I'd like to add it. This really shouldn't be that hard to add and implement, but for now I wanted to get this out.

items don't show up in inventory

I add items with the program and save it but when I join game they are not there. When I load up that same save in saveeditor the items that I added are still there but I can't see them in game

How to reset a challenge/mission?

I'm trying to reset the DLC mission "Laid to Rust" because it is glitched and can no longer be progressed in my save file.

Here's what I've found so far.

In the "Raw" tab, under "ChallengeDatas", I've found the mission that I want to reset.

Unfortunately, simply unchecking the IsActive checkbox does not appear to do anything, because when I load my save in game, the mission is still active and glitched.

DLC 2 Glutton's Gamble items

New DLCs dropped for Tiny Tina's Wonderlands with a handful of new items. It would be great if you added those!

[Feature Request] customizable Mayhem modifiers

Don't know if it's possible but it would be useful to being able to choose the mayhem modifiers for each mayhem level.

Constant Crashin

I've been working around with editing class mods in the game, among a couple other things, but the editor consistently crashes whenever i try to delete something, like its not once in a while, the Delete button on any item in my inventory insta crashes the editor

Modifying guardian rank stats does not save

BL3 Save Editor > Profile.Sav > modify stats to guardian rank (Accuracy, Action Skill Cooldown, Critical Damage, etc) > save

What should happen: The stats are modified and saved
What actually happens: The stats reverted back to their original state

Note: even making small changes like +5 on each category still causes it to revert back.

Decrypted PS4 BogoCrypt Keys

Character.txt
Profile.txt

Please add PS4 decrypted option to save output/input.

Error parsing serial when copying loot-o-gram

Replication steps:

1. Get a loot o gram
2. Open the save, copy it - gives BL3(BE1BJSZbEMPkEtF51hlquAJS)
3. Try paste it

Update COM challenges when classes are changed

When you change the character class, you need to update the COM challenges for the respective character...The game might automatically do this, but its best to play it safe.

Not really an issue, but more of a request

Unless I'm missing it, but I checked on the parts list, I know there is an anointment that's called while action skill is active, increase weapon damage by 100%, but it's not in the save editor. Could that option be added? Thanks

Editor Crashing

Every time I open the editor, there is no option to cutsomize class mods which is the one thing i actually wanted unfortunately. When i try to create one or modify the MH level the save editor crashes every time. any fix for this? using windows btw.

Spent tokens numer very high and cannot change

Hi!
I don't know why, but for me the number of tokens spent is very high and I change it in vain. I save it and when I open it again it is the same as before.
Any idea why?

Add diamond keys and vault cards to the profile menu

This shouldn't be too much effort, but I didn't have the effort to do it before. Maybe I'll regain the energy to work on it (:
