Mass Effect 2 Gibbed Save Editor Bonus Powers

  • If you have not done so, download Gibbed's Mass Effect 2 Save Editor 2. Locate and load the savegame you want to edit Each Mass Effect 2 career have it's own unique directory. Under Windows XP you can find the directory root folder here./Documents and Settings/YourComputerID/My Documents/BioWare/Mass Effect 2/Save 3.
  • B).WARNING. The power wheel only has 8 slots and the game starts you off with 6 and then allows you to pick a bonus 7th so if you want more than one extra bonus power on top of the original 7 you'll have to leave one of the original 7 completely unlearned(0 squad points in it) for each extra bonus power after the 8th. Go in Gibbed's editor.

Gibbed's editor will let you change what weapons you're carrying. But you cannot then change your loadout with the in-game weapons locker that shows at the start of missions, in various levels and beside Jacob on the Normandy. It will try to force you to pick a weapon from what your character is actually allowed. All I'm trying to do is add a single Bonus Power to my already existing set of Powers, namely Barrier. I used the Gibbed editor at the beginning of the game and it worked like a charm. I chose a bonus power from a previous play-through, leveled up to add more powers then added another bonus power with the editor. It worked for the first mission but then when I get to Horizon Barrier is gone.

Where To Get It

Gibbed Save Editor for Mass Effect 2

Download the most recent version from here: Gibbed Save Editor ME2

This tool does not edit the coalesced.ini file. It only edits a selected save file from your game. You use this tool to change the appearance of your Shepard, add talent points, credits, and even change plot point resolutions.

How To Use It

Mass Effect 2 Gibbed Save Editor Bonus Powers Mod

Because somehow i always forget and fuck shit up

Before you do anything, back up your save files by copying and pasting the files to a safe place. I like to use the desktop. Once you've done that, follow these steps:

Mass Effect 2 Save Editor

  1. Open Gibbed Save Editor for Mass Effect 2 application. It doesn't matter where you unzip the downloaded folder or where you run it.
  2. Click the folder icon in it's menu and navigate to where Mass Effect 2 stores saves: Documents > BioWare > Mass Effect 2 > Save
  3. Select the character file you wish to edit and the most recent save.
  4. Click open and the box will disappear and you'll see your Shepard's information has been loaded into the Player > Basic tab.

Once you've opened the correct save in Gibbed, we're ready to start playing around.

Customizations:

From getting free credits to appearance modifiers

I'd like to first recognize the sources for this information—none of it is my work. I'll be linking to the original articles as I go. The reason the information is repurposed here is that I was afraid the links would over time die out and I wouldn't have the information anymore. I'm very grateful to the original authors and all their hard work.

Gibbed Mass Effect 2 Editor

Appearance modding, iris color, hair and more will be on a separate post with the corresponding imagery. It always bothers me when I have to adjust the code, go into the game, leave the game, adjust code again, repeat 1000 times. Better to just have an image for reference.

Mass Effect 3 Gibbed

If you have any other codes to add to the above ones, please contact me with the subject line: 'Shepard ME2 General Codes'. Add your name if you want credit.
