If you decide to edit, do so conservatively, back up your files, and never bring a toxic, entitled attitude to public lobbies. The Skaven don't care if your sword is Red or White; they bleed the same. Happy hunting, and may your Keep always feel like home—whether you built it brick by brick or summoned it with a save editor.

"It's a co-op PvE game. You aren't hurting anyone. If my teammate edits his gear but plays well, I don't care. I'd rather have a competent player with cheated gear than an idiot with 500 real hours."
Open the editor, click "Load," and navigate to your _player.json file.
