Owners of the official Steam version of the game can find Borderlands 2 saves in one of two ways:
Local saves:
- C:/Users/[Username]/Documents/My Games/Borderlands 2/WillowGame/SaveData/[ Your Steam ID ]
Cloud saves:
- C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/userdata/[ Your Steam ID ]/49520/
If after all these years you still haven’t gotten around to purchasing a licensed copy of the game, your saves folder may have a different name. Here’s an example based on one of the most popular pirated downloads:
- C:/Users/[Username]/Documents/My Games/Borderlands 2/WillowGame/SaveData/76561197960267366/
For users of other operating systems, the path will be:
Linux:
- ~/.local/share/aspyr-media/borderlands 2/willowgame/savedata/
macOS (OS X):
- ~/Library/Application Support/Borderlands 2/WillowGame/SaveData/
