Along the same lines as my Save Game Extracting Thread, ever since I started my service for editing GPDs/Profiles, I've had to explain this process a number of times. I have looked around and not been able to find a nice, easy guide for this process. So I made my own.
How to Extract your GPD file
Xbox Users
Download Horizon : HERE
1. You will first need to Move your profile from your Xbox HDD to a USB flash drive.
2. Plug your flash drive into your PC and open Horizon.
3. In the Device Explorer on the right hand side you should see a file tree. You are looking for the folder that says Gamer Profiles.
Extracting a Profile
This will generate a file that is a string of letters and numbers.
This is needed to to open the GPD file for editing.
4. Right click on your profile and select Extract file. Save it to a location where you can easily find it again.
5. Now drag the profile over to the dark grey area on the left and select Contents on the tab near the top.
Extracting the GPD file
6. Scroll down until you find the 5454087C.gpd. Right click and Extract file to the same folder as the profile.
7. You should now have a folder with your Profile and GPD. I suggest using WinRAR to compress these files together for easy sharing.
Adding files to a WinRAR archive
8. Now you have a file ready to share. Upload this to a hosting site such as Mediafire or email it to the person who will be modding your GPD.
9. Once you receive the file back (it may only be the modded GPD file which is all that is needed) reopen Horizon and drag your profile into the grey area. Right click on the GPD file and choose Replace. Then you may Save, Rehash, and Resign.
10. To move the Profile back to your Xbox, start it up with the flash drive in the Xbox. Move the Profile back to the Xbox and then start up Borderlands 2. You should have your modified stats.
11. If the above does not work, it has been mentioned to try starting up Borderlands 2 without being signed in and then signing in from the USB. Go into the game and check your stats. They should be the modded ones that you set. Return to the main menu and move your Profile back to your Xbox HDD.
PC Users
All you need to do is go to your Borderlands 2 save folder. It is typically located in the following or similar location:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\my games\borderlands 2\willowgame\savedata\74561193071261730
If you’re modding this yourself, just direct the editor to this location to open your profile. If you are having someone else modify your profile, just get them this file. Just save the modified file back into this folder.
