It has never been 'if you die too often'. Its if you take too bleeding long, which is a VERY long time to have enemies start respawning behind you.

The only boss in Southpaw Steam & Power that is actually tricky is that damn sniper at the end because he moves quite fast and in a very strange manner akin to Rats and hits like a truck.

Play Tina's DLC. Its brilliant.

Managed to get Krieg through most of the DLC now on UVHM. Finally got to the point where Lightning Bolt and Fireball type grenade mods drop so promptly sent a level 52 Lightning Bolt mod over to my Mechromancer for when she gets that high.

They're weak against corrosive regardless. The level difference just makes you weak against enemies. Corrosive will still be doing more than any other type, its just ##% more of bugger all.

yea Tiny tina/ Zombie island are the best for spooky atmospheres, Tiny Tiny reminds me of Sinbad the Sailor/the Golden fleece, but it's damned hard to play, it was quite a shock to find that my level 50 guns were totally useless

oh yea, i mean it took me 1/2 an hour to kill each assassin, that rat is a *******, they all are, they twitch too fast from side to side, it's very hard to target him.... but that area is miles easier later on, because i used to farm it all the time

It always pits you like that against op enemies, thats the challenge, and all tht more rewarding when you blow them sky high!

the rat finally chased me in cirles for like 15 mins... with 10 bandits waiting for me behind the previous gate, so i was stuck in his location, i killed him with the SMGs, i ran, fired, ran, fired, eventually he dropped, he killed me about 20 times, he catches you up very quickly so you cant fire at him for long, so the Sniper rifle is useless... you can only squeeze off about 40 rounds before you have to leg it again.

you can only use the sniper rifle if you retreat right back up the corridor behind you, i couldn't because the bandits behind me had respawn yet again.

Probably an issue on your PC, was it working fine before?

Go to stock if you have an overlock and check temps etc.

Could someone with a ~lvl 61 character please help me out

I only have 1 side mission left in the game, it's in Torgue's DLC. It's supposed to be set at lvl 49 but for some reason it has switched to lvl 61 so now I can't beat it as I'm lvl 50 (it's the bar Brawl tier 3).

So, could some nice person just jump in on co-op and kill everything for me please, that would be super!

Mal X · 27 Jul 2013 at 11:30

most of the side mission guns are useless at level 61 at the end of the 3rd playthrough, only the Firehawk shield is worth having, it's about 180 000 shield and kills everything around it, it's much more powerful than the 2nd playthrough.

i would say he's not as strong as he was at level 50, it seems that his weapons are about 15% weaker, strangely enough the loot is improving, esp the guns dropped.

i might do Oasis first :cool:

the bar brawl is impossible to win at only level 50, even with a friend helping you :eek:

in both modes ``true hunter and ultra``, that location will automatically default to level 61/62

your friend will need to be level 61 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mal X · 27 Jul 2013 at 15:07

but i deffo cant face level 72.....mind you, if Xmas is as boring as now for gaming, then i might try level 72, esp if Zombie island returns

Defeating Bloodwing on UVHM at 54 with Zero was rock hard :/

I died so many times that I lost most of my money! Am down to about 150k now and feeling poor lol

I heard many people were having a lot of problems with her in TVHM yet I struggled a lot more against the Super Badass Loaders in the area than the boss itself. I only died once during the fight (Level 44 Assassin) and I only seemed to struggle on the lightning form, the rest I can hardly remember being hit. She was also stronger because I was playing co-op solo

. Beat her second try, then again I guess it's a totally different ballgame in UVHM.

I am level 55 and thought I would try some of the DLC I have installed. I am a little way into the Hamlock DLC and the mobs are going upto level 59's which are showing as skulls to me. Have I got to wait until I hit max level to play though them?

Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt and Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragons Keep are definitely meant to be played post-game rather than half way through like Captains Scarlett's. Not sure about Torgue's

Evilsod · 27 Jul 2013 at 21:57

Tina's is my level. I've nearly completed that on my Psycho and they were scaling with me. Unless you mean 'The enemies are getting leveled up by the Witch Doctors to level 59' I can't see why they'd be higher on Hammerlocks.

What level did you start it on? I know Hammerlock's and Tina's had a minimum level of 30 on normal mode which is usually achieved near the end so I presumed it would be the same in UVHM so a minimum level of ~57. By minimum level I mean many of the enemies start at around that level. For example the skeletons in Tiny Tina's were level 29 when I went there around level 20.
