How to Use GPD Files in Modio

Modifications to GPD files can be used to improve the strength or defense of weapons, shields and items. Modio is a free software program that allows users to extract game files to modify the game files. GPD files hold the files used to run the Xbox 360 games. Not all Xbox games will have GPD modified files available for download. Check online for the modded or modified file before beginning.
