Yes, you can get banned from Xbox Live for modding games like Borderlands. Modifying game files or using cheats can violate Xbox Live's terms of service, leading to account suspension or bans. Microsoft actively monitors for such activities, and players found to be using mods or cheats risk losing access to their accounts and any associated content. Always play games within the guidelines to avoid penalties.
