Epic/other installs or consoles: location varies; consoles store saves in platform-managed storage.
Here’s where things get controversial. In certain modding and cheat forums, users talk about swapping or editing the active SAV file to:
Spoiler alert: None of these work permanently.
PUBG’s anti-cheat system, Wellbia (XIGNCODE3) and BattleEye, constantly validates local save data with server-side records. The moment the server detects a mismatch—like a skin you don’t own—the file is either reverted or flagged, leading to a permanent ban.

In older games (like offline RPGs), editing a .sav file was a classic way to cheat. Some players try to apply the same logic to PUBG. They’ll share tools claiming to "decrypt" the active SAV file, letting you change values.
But here’s the reality:
You can use a hex editor (HxD, 010 Editor) to open active.sav. You might find readable strings like ResolutionX or MasterVolume. Changing these values can work, but one wrong byte will corrupt the file. Always verify the file integrity via Steam after any hex edit. Spoiler alert: None of these work permanently
Be aware that Steam automatically syncs your active.sav file to the cloud. If you delete the file locally, Steam might re-download a corrupted backup. To fully reset, you must either disable cloud sync or delete the file while Steam is offline.

If you want to save your current settings (sensitivity, keybinds, graphics), you can copy the .sav files to a backup folder. If your settings reset after a patch or reinstall, paste them back.
That’s the only safe use.
