Borderlands 2 Savegames (for mod testing)

Other versions: Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Borderlands 3, Wonderlands.

Now that Borderlands 3 is out and practically everyone's moved on from modding BL2/TPS, I figure it's a great time to release an archive of savegames which might've been useful to modders a year or two ago. This is it!

This is a collection of savegames which step through all quests, including all DLCs, of Borderlands 2. I'd started archiving these when I was putting together my BL2 Mega TimeSaver XL mod, because I needed an easy way to hop backwards in time pretty trivially to test various animation sequences. I figured since I was doing that anyway, I may as well step through quests and things more carefully, too.

So basically, if you're looking to work on a mod which alters some specific part of the game, and you don't have a savegame already near that point, this archive could help you get right there with no hassle.

These BL2 saves were all run through in Normal mode, with Maya, at level 80. UVHM/OP10 is unlocked and her gear is level 90. I was making use of the following mods during my runthrough:

• Shredifier Super Buff - The savegames have a collection of four Shredifiers, and with that mod, they'll one-shot practically anything in the game. Since the mod I was working on didn't affect combat at all, I wanted to be able to just power through any battle as quickly as possible.
• Neogenator Super Buff - Likewise, the savegames will have a Neogenator shield, which in conjunction with that mod will make you basically invulnerable. Again, I wasn't combat-focused, so getting past fights quickly was a goal.
• Aaron0000's Earlier Missions - Potentially the most controversial choice, given that I'd intended for these saves to be globally useful, but this mod unlocks missions as soon as possible, rather than waiting for a sometimes arbitrary-feeling point in the plot. For instance, Terramorphous is unlocked as soon as you get to Thousand Cuts, and the first few Monster Mash missions are available as soon as you get to Sanctuary.

Once I was through collecting all the saves, I did some finagling with a save editor to duplicate mission state from NVHM into both TVHM and UVHM, so all of these saves are at the exact same spot in the game in PT1, PT2, and PT3. Note that the level of any active mission, when loading into TVHM or UVHM, would still be set to their value in Normal, but any new mission you pick up from there should be scaled properly.

And so, without further ado, here's the savegames. You can download them all in one zipfile from here: bl2_all_saves.zip, or hand-pick from the table below. Alternatively, you can clone the github repo which also stores all these saves: apocalyptech/blsaves.
