Okay, what is this bullshit, I overleveled the first time through by doing sidequests and some light farming to the point where even the final battle was trivially easy, but True Vault Hunter Mode is still almost impossible to progress in without cheating, right from Boom Bewm onwards. This is the worst balancing I've ever seen.

Edit: Taking revenge on game with Evil Smasher glitch. Please tell me how to make this game fun again.

Raaaagh! Farmed Wilhelm about 100 times in TVHM to get some decent equipment, he actually drops an orange (after just 100 kills, that's incredible!) and the loving thing is useless by the time I get to the Fridge. I'm this close to giving up on the game. Is playthrough 2.5 worth it, or does it get even more unbalanced?

Yeah, I know, but does that level 50 equipment actually dent the enemy, or do you have to farm for legendaries to be able to hurt anything? Likewise, do level 50 shields manage more than two bullets?

To dupe without f'n over your character, drop all the items you want to dupe, away from any area that will save (I tend to do it in the center of Sanctuary). Hold the PS Button to bring up the Impose Menu and select "Quit Game". This will force the game to shutdown without it saving. When you re-launch the title and your character, all the weapons/loot that you previously dropped will still be there.

Should be noted that the above scenario is if you are joining someone else's game.

Thanks man, you did what 15 youtube videos and duping guides could not: Explain it clearly and succinctly.

Go here: http://orcz.com/Borderlands_2:_Golden_Key#Latest_Shift_Codes and enter all the SHIFT-codes for a lot of Golden Keys. Go open the loot chest in sanctuary whenever you need a pick me up. Also, whenever you come across a boss that isn't too hard to defeat and drops a decent amount of loot, turn in the quest and go back and farm it for a while for XP and upgraded gear.

- No more tutorial missions -- characters in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode begin in Southern Shelf with the "Cleaning Up the Berg" mission.
- While playing in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, enemies and bosses will scale according to the player's current level or, if playing with others, the highest-level player in that party.
- Gameplay changes in UVHM:
- Enemy health generally increased 4x.
- Enemies now have a moderate amount of health regeneration.
- Increased duration of slag damage multiplier effect.
- Upped the damage that slagged enemies take from 2x to 3x.
- Weapon swap speed increased to better facilitate slag use.
- Enemies now more likely to drop ammo.
- Loot Midgets are now "Legendary Loot Midgets" that can drop Legendary and other top-tier gear.

I think it increases the chance a lot, yeah, but he's still rare. Never seen him myself.

By the way, after four runs total, I'm up to three pearlescents :D Kind of sad that the Unforgiven has the broken Dahl-scope, but still awesome!

Farming loot midgets in the Exploitation Preserve is so much easier with the Creature Dome. Last night I just went in there and went out so it would save my entry point after I killed the midgets and it's saving tons of time.

Yes, but don't forget to collect the slag vials in the main quest in that area! If you complete the mission without completing the optional objective, it will be impossible to save at the Creature Dome, even if you save inside the area!

gently caress bloodwing,

If anyone knows a cheap way to kill that bitch, I'd love to hear it.

I had help on Bloodwing, but my mainstay for super-hard bosses on UVHM was a lvl 50 Sand Hawk (Reward from the mission "Whoops" in Scarlett's Booty) with a lvl 50 Bee shield (farmed from Hunter Hellquist). The Sand Hawk shoots 8 rounds per shot in a burst which all receive full Bee damage. If you go back to TVHM and get those two it shouldn't take too long to get a good cheese-solution for most of the annoying bosses, even at lvl 50.

The Sand Hawk also benefits a lot from the assassin Vel0city skill which speeds up it's projectiles immensely.

Doing Scarlett early in UVHM also gives you access to the Treasure Room which can be regularly farmed for updated equipment (and legendaries and pearlescents!).

Most of the problem with characters like Krieg and Zero is that their action skills are melee-based in a game that has enemies that literally never touch the ground. There are even bosses that are never not flying at high speeds! Krieg solves some of this problem with being able to hurl his buzz axe but part of the reason I haven't played much Zero is because his action skill is a lot more situational than the other characters'.

Zer0's execute skill pulls you towards enemies if you stab towards them in decepti0n, no matter the range, and it doesn't end decepti0n unless you get close enough to hit. The kicker is it pulls you straight towards the enemy, even if they're airborne! This means you can stab yourself flying through the air and airstab enemies.
