if you're looking for hacked gear like the black weapons and such, that's no longer possible

the best you can get is a change in element or other such things

I haven't played this game too much, just got it from steam summer sale.
I remember a shield on the first game that had like..9billion some odd health and immediate resawn.

yeah they don't have stuff like that in 2 because of the lack of a sdk

if you download gibbed save editor you can make whatever legit weapons you want though

You can fix ur profile tho. Set ur badass rank to whatever u like.
I currently got 99billion hp 99 billion shield 5mill % gun dmg 100mill% melee dmg and 1billion crit dmg.

With gibbed's editor you can still get hacked weapons, but their effects are usually limited by simply having multiple "parts" in one slot, giving more effects than normal. (i.e. a shield with multiple immunities, or legendary shields that previously could not have immunities. Other than that, look for TechnoJacker's bl2 trainer, you can use it to severely mod your weapons and pretty much any other aspect. though most of the changes do not persist after a logout. But if you have the trainer, you can always open it whenever you want and always have weapons modded.
