Q: Does a save editor work on Steam Deck? A: Yes, but you must run the editor via Desktop Mode in Linux (using Wine or Bottles). The save file location is different: /home/deck/.steam/steam/userdata/...

Q: Can I use a save editor to get the "Minimalist" achievement (handguns only)? A: Yes. Use the editor to remove all rifles, shotguns, and grenades from your inventory before the Saddler fight. The game only checks what is in your case at the moment of victory.

Q: Will editing my save disable achievements? A: No. RE4R does not lock achievements based on save editing. You can unlock "Gun Fanatic" by adding all weapons via the editor. Want to practice the Del Lago boss fight

Q: Is there a mobile save editor (iOS/Android)? A: No. The save files are encoded in a proprietary format requiring x86 processing to re-checksum. Attempts on mobile will corrupt the file.
