Step by step guide PC: Make a new folder labeled 'borderlands back up' or something similar. Open the file located in: My Documents/My Games/Borderlands/SaveData. Press Ctrl+A (select all) then Ctrl+C (copy). Open the folder 'borderlands back up' and press Ctrl+V (paste). To make multiple 'time shots' to revert to, just make multiple back-up folders.
Please contact Aspyr for technical support regarding the Mac version of Borderlands 2. You can reach Aspyr support at.
Note: As of version 2.00, Willowtree# automatically stores back-ups in the same folder as the original save file when the 'save' or 'save as' menu item is selected, even if no change was made to the save file. The back-ups are named save####.sav.bak## where the first and second group of numbers are the save file and back-up file identifier numbers respectively. Simply removing the.bak## extension and overwriting the original save file will restore the back-up. Xbox/PS3: A save file may be copied from the hard drive to a portable storage device such as an Xbox memory unit or USB flash drive stick. This creates two copies of the same file on different devices, and is also a useful way for physically moving save files between locations (such as for playing on another console, or editing in WillowTree on a computer).
Any save file on a USB may also be backed up to a computer by copying the file from the USB to any location on the computer. Doing this after extracting the file with an extractor program such as XTAF (to make it readable on a PC) is especially useful for creating back-ups before editing in WillowTree.
Copying before extracting is useful for simply backing up a save file with minimal hassle Mac:. See Mac section above. Strategy Farming: When doing runs that only happen once, such as farming for a good, the character can be overwritten to repeat the run.
Once a decent drop happens, either mule or copy the character in another folder and overwrite again for multiple items. Alternatively, in order to keep all drops from consecutive farming runs, it is also possible to manually edit and revert the quest status (with Willowtree) so as to recreate the conditions required for the farming run.
Testing: Keeping tests consistent is possible by overwriting the character and repeating exact circumstances. Playing with friends: Keeping save files of characters every couple of levels allows play with anyone, at any level, at anytime by overwriting with the proper level. Items and money become no issue and the friend can take everything. Just overwrite with the newest save file when the session is done.
Manipulating: The entire folder should be backed up before manipulating anything in it. By definition, manipulation can mess thing up.
There really are a ton of legendary (orange) weapons and mods in Borderlands 2, though they have a very low chance to drop from any of the given enemies or bosses. Because of this, you’re going to have to either just get lucky, or farm for what you want.
The problem with getting lucky though is that, sure you may get one to drop by just playing through, but will it be the type of weapon or mod that you want? That’s why farming is pretty much your best option to get what you’re after. It’s gonna be a time sink though, and you’ll probably either get extremely frustrated, or bored by the time you’re done. This list should help you to at least know where to look for specific weapons and mods though. Keep in mind that some of these bosses and enemies are tied to specific missions, so it’s probably best to complete all quests in the listed area before you go around looking for the enemy that you need to kill.
If you want to farm a specific drop, then kill the boss or enemy listed and if the item you’re looking for doesn’t drop, then save and quit and try again, or leave the area and come back. Depending on the specific location of the enemy, one method may be faster than the other. For the best odds of legendary drops, play with three other co-op partners. If you have found a legendary drop that isn’t on this list, please leave details in the comments.
