Time to Conclude

There are a lot of doubts among the Borderlands 3 games related to the use of Save Editors. It would be wise for you to understand that save editors are third-party stuff and now a core Borderlands 3 feature. So, if you are using the modified files on the official servers, it might land you up in trouble and maybe get your account banned too. 

With accessibility comes responsibility. Since the save editors are all community-made, they are more or less illegitimate. And as a responsible gamer, you must make sure that you use the modified files only on the LAN server and not on the official servers.
