Save File Editing/Max Skills Guide
BEFORE ALL: DISABLE STEAM CLOUD FOR ONE ARMED ROBBER, OTHERWISE NOTHING WILL WORK
Step 1: Downgrade to the Right Version
You'll need to downgrade to the following version of the game:
download_depot 2551020 2551021 8034872082437961625
Check out this guide for more details: Speedrun Guide
This version is the most optimal for skills because it's the original version in which it was introduced. In this version, you can research multiple skills at once (you can't do this in the new versions). Trust me, this is super important for the next steps. Yes, really.
Step 2: Open and Close the Game
Just to be safe, open the game and then close it right after. This ensures everything is properly initialized.
Step 3: Find Your Save File (.sav)
Your save file will be located in your Steam directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\RANDOMASSNUMBER\2551020\remote
If you're a true Skib, just find it yourself. In the userdata
folder, search until you locate the 2551020
folder (this is the game number for One Armed Robber). Inside the remote
folder, you should see a bunch of .sav
files. If you don't see many, you're probably in the wrong folder.
Now let's move on to getting you some money.
Step 4: Add Money to Your Save
Look for the file named STEAMIDNUMBERCash.sav
and upload it to SaveEditOnline.
Here, you can edit your money. Go ahead and give yourself like 10,000,000—yeah, that should work.
Step 5: Replace Your Old Save
After editing your save, download the new one from the website and replace your old save file with the updated one.
Step 6: Start Researching Skills
Open the game (make sure you're still using the downgraded version, not the latest one). Start researching all the skills you want.
Step 7: Close the Game
Once you've started the research, close the game again.
Step 8: Max Out Your Skills
Go back to your save file folder and find the STEAMIDNUMBERLevel.sav
file. Upload it to SaveEditOnline.
Now, you can edit the skill values:
- Change everything that starts with
Tier_
to3
. - Change everything that starts with
Progress_
to100000
.
Step 9: Finalize Your Skills
Load back into the game, and you should see that your skills are nearly maxed out. However, you'll still need to complete about 10 quick heists to fully unlock them. Once that's done, you'll have your fully compatible save file !
Make sure to save the game so you don't have to go through this process again.
That's beside the point I'm making today, which is that a very in-depth Rule-Set is finally here, you will now be able to learn how the game works without having to spend hundre
