# Modding introduction

## First step

Before getting into Titanfall 2 modding, you should backup any [VPK ](https://noskill.gitbook.io/titanfall2/documentation/file-format/vpk-valve-pak-file)files that you will get into, if you mess up or your [VPK ](https://noskill.gitbook.io/titanfall2/documentation/file-format/vpk-valve-pak-file)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.
