Linux | $XDG_DATA_HOME/aspyr-media/borderlands 2/willowgame/config/ |
- This game follows the XDG Base Directory Specification on Linux.

Linux | $XDG_DATA_HOME/aspyr-media/borderlands 2/willowgame/savedata/ |
- Saves are cross-platform but the game lacks cross-platform cloud saving. Manual intervention is required to load the save files from Windows on Linux.
- Saves manually migrated from Windows to Linux must have all lowercase characters in the filename.
Save game cloud syncing
System | Native | Notes |
---|---|---|
Epic Games Launcher | Can be disabled.[8] | |
OneDrive | Requires enabling backup of the Documents folder in OneDrive on all computers. | |
Steam Cloud | Approx. 100 MB available. No cross-platform syncing to prevent version mismatch when patches are delayed for OS X or Linux.[9] |
Mods
Unofficial patches
- A community-created patch exists which resolves many of the game's outlying issues, as well as adjusts drop rates, adds cosmetic tweaks, and more. There also exists a mod manager, which allows you to turn off certain changes in the patch. It is highly recommended. The mod manager can be found here, and the Community Patch can be found here or here.

path to store the certificates in Ubuntu-based distros. Some other distros however uses/etc/ssl/
path instead.
