I have several games where the assets are contained within compressed and encrypted *.pak files.

What I am wanting to do is to minimize (compress) these *.pak files to save space as some of these assets take up a huge amount of disc space.

I have tried xtool, srep, lolz, precomp and a few other final step compressors but have found the *.pak files don't compress well at all (not surprising as they are already compressed).

However, I understand from reading some posts on the internet that it may still be possible to compress these *.pak files using specialized/other tools(?)

How can I compress these *.pak files?
