# Modding introduction

## First step

Before getting into Titanfall 2 modding, you should backup any [VPK ](/titanfall2/documentation/file-format/vpk-valve-pak-file.md)files that you will get into, if you mess up or your [VPK ](/titanfall2/documentation/file-format/vpk-valve-pak-file.md)files get corrupted you don't need to download or repair your game from Origin or Steam, so you should learn how to make a backup.
