This Tutorial will show you how to change your stats, add/modify weapons and more.
Ok first off down below is a list of needed materials.

Any USB Flash Drive that will work with Xbox 360.
(it's easier to not save anything from your xbox on it other than what you are modding)

THERE WILL BE A FILE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TUTORIAL WITH ALL OF THE NEEDED SOFTWARE

Follow these steps below

1. Transfer your borderlands game save to your Flash Drive. (Would show how to do it.. but i do not have a capture card, if someone does, please message/PM me)

2. Plug your Flash Drive into your Computer and open up USB XTAF Xplorer and click on Open -> Open device/Open device manually, and then your flashdrive will show like so. (picture will be added soon)

3. Click on Content -> E00008EED808B19C (will be different per profile) -> 545407E7
(will be different per profile)
-> 00000001 -> Save0001.sav
(picture will be added soon)
(it could be any save I'm just using 0001 as an example.)

4. Click on/Highlight your .sav and press the extract and place it in a separate folder so it will be kept organized if you will be doing multiple mod's with multiple save files.
(MAKE SURE TO SAVE A BACKUP JUST INCASE YOU MESS UP!!)

Max Level = 70 (not sure if it can be changed to that.)
Max skills points = 255.
Max Money = 16777215
Max EXP = 16777215
Max ammo cap for weapons --> [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]


7. After your done editing go under File and click Save As. Make sure you save it as it was before
(ex: if it was called Save0001.sav then save as Save0001.sav)



8. Open up CONcept and click open then find your .sav and press Rehash/Resign on the bottom. Then exit it.
(press Rehash/Resign 2 or 3 tiems to make sure it works)

9. Open the Xbox 360 Hash Block Calculator. Press File, and open your .sav then press Tools and Calculate Blocks.
(press the Calculate Hash Blocks twice to make sure it works)

10. Go back into the USB XTAF Xplorer and go back to where your .sav file was before in it and delete it. After successfully deleting your old save, Inject the modded save.
(picture will be added soon)



11. Unplug your USB Flash Drive from the Computer and plug it into your xbox and go into borderlands and load up
your character.

You can move your character back onto your Hard Drive if you want to. I do NOT reccomend doing so, unless you feel like you need/want to, it's really up to you.


If you have any problems PM me, or Carbon12 and we'll try to help.

This file has everything you need to mod Borderlands, and will be Constantly updated with most recent version's of the programs.

5. When your done adding/deleteing weapons/item, just simply save, delete and inject.(refer back to step 10)
Then your done!
