[GAS KING]

Just played for a few hours. Pretty cool game.
It ain't borderlands, but it ain't bad.

I caved and gibbed my Zero up to level 72 yesterday... the damage ratings on weapons now are insane lol... in the end it's matched to the enemies but holy shit the number are high.. the most insane thing was I was getting 50 Million critical hit point shots with one of my sniper rifles depending on a few circumstances but it was pretty regular... that being said I'm probably going to over power the game today and and see how that goes...

I did too.

I also did some public games in the OP modes because I couldn't do it alone. Got up to OP3 or 4 I forget.
I haven't found any weapons though.

[Marc G]

so how does the OP mode work? I understand the enemies get leveled up but do you get leveled up too? and what about your existing weapons?

Your abilities do scale (like axton's turret, etc), but your health does not. From what I gather anyway.
Your weapons do not scale either. You basically have to re-farm your OP weapons.

(Also, I hear "chubby" enemies are dropping the new legendary class mods.)

You have to play through Digistruct at 72, and then you have to save/quit after you beat it.........re-continue from the character screen. A window will pop up and allow you to select your OP level.

Increase your OP level to 1, and play it again. repeat and repeat until you get to 8.

I'm cool with my health staying the same... but.. it's like... do you become a level 73,74 etc or are you still a lvl 72 BUT can use higher level weapons? Because I will give it a try with my existing load out which is pretty powerful, lvl72 guys go down FAST, but once it becomes impossible I'll gib the weapons up a few levels if possible

Oh. 72 is max.
You just gain the ability to use up to level 80 gear.
That's how they got around not giving us 8 more skill points.

I think you can get to around OP4-5 with level 72 weapons.........or at least, that's what I've read on the forums.

I don't think I could beat OP3 with level 72 stuff....but I'm not very good.

gotcha... my problem is my MAIN gun is the Sand Hawk and that's a mission based reward gun so if I can't get that gun again I'm kinda fucked lol....

You could rest UVHM and redo up to that mission. That would be a ROYAL pain in the ass but it's doable.

Just started overlevel stuff last night. Pretty fun so far.

[Marc G]

how can I do the mission over with the over powered levels?? I've completed it already or is there a way to do the ENTIRE game over with the over powered enemies?

Once you hit UVHM you can rest the entire game any time you want. On PC you hit Q after you select a character and choose UVHM difficulty. Not sure what you hit on consoles but it tells you.

It does reset everything though so it would be a pain in the butt.

[Marc G]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i didn't see that option on the Xbox... will have to look it up...but it WOULD be a real pain to do it that way.. I wonder if I could just gib the weapons up to suit... will have to experiment...

I found a video that shows how to do it

[Marc G]

wow.... interesting... but I would rather not go that route if I can help it...lol

[GAS KING]

I started to level up my Sal from 61 to 72.
Could not stand to play the same crap over and over.
*gibb'd*

Oh flip

[GAS KING]

Ya'll doing the daily challenges?

3/3 so far, but I'm going to miss Saturday and Sunday.

[Marc G]

I've pretty much retired BL2 for GTA V now.... it was getting way too repetitive for me.

Well, you aren't in the US either.....so all you really get is a new gun each day.

I get entered into a sweepstakes with the chance to win cash and prizes AND a new gun each day.

To me, it seems like a ploy to get people playing again and addicted.....got me playing, but no chance I'll be addicted.

[Marc G]

hahhahaha.... even a new gun a day can't get me interested... between my Assassin and Mechromancer I can't really think of any other guns I would want... the only thing that interests me are class mods... but those aren't hard to farm for last time I played... GTA V is just too much fun online..
