Why I built this site
I'm a longtime Borderlands modder, and this is the home base I built for the Gibbed save editors. I don't host the editors myself — the download buttons hand you the author's own release — and I earn nothing from them.
Why this site exists
When I search “gibbed save editor download,” the results are flooded with download portals serving self-hosted copies, “r256” repacks and installer wrappers. Meanwhile the real file comes from the author's own releases. I got tired of watching people get burned by the fakes, so I made this the one place that has it all — the verified download, how to use it, and how to fix the errors I've hit (and watched everyone else hit) over the years.
How I keep it honest
- Verified downloads only. No mirrors, no self-hosted files, no “updated versions”.
- I label anything unofficial. Forks, CLI alternatives and console tools are always marked as community projects.
- I never mix the games. BL2 (bl2_), Pre-Sequel (bloz_) and Mass Effect 2 (me2_) are three separate tools.
- I cite my sources. Every claim traces back to the author's GitHub, his blog, or a verified community thread — most pages end with a “Sources I used” note.
About the author of the tools
Rick Gibbed — programmer and modder (github.com/gibbed , on GitHub since 2009, “poking at games I love since 1996”). His repositories aren't archived but have been dormant since 2021; the final BL2 editor release is 1.0.46 (May 30, 2020). I run this hub independently — the editors are his work. There's a fuller profile — and an answer to “is he still active?” — on the about Rick Gibbed page.
If you find an inaccuracy or a dead link, tell me — I'll fix it and stamp the page with a fresh update date. Any quantitative data (stars, issues, view counts) is a June 2026 snapshot.
