I mentioned this in the Random information thread but I’ll put it here as well- if you have any open quests when you start the new dlc they will automatically reset to level 80 once you hit level 73. For anyone stressed about refarming all of their gear again I’d suggest doing a level 72/OP8 reset and save all of your rewards for when you’re done with the new dlc (doing OP9-OP10 is optional). Not sure yet if the quest rewards will scale to the new OP levels but I intend to find out…

For the record, I’m using Sub-Sequence now after the update. It messes up sometimes, but when it works it’s a blast. Got some great synergies not only with Helios, but also stuff like Sweet Release and Converge. And Ruin, obviously.

This is what I love about the lvl 80 update. Previously, I was pretty cemented on one build and always thought give me just a few… more… points goddammit! Now I’ve got 8 more points and it’s a joy to experiment and try stuff. Finally I don’t feel held back with Maya by having not quite enough skill points*.

Anyway, back to topic. I just tried the Transformer shield in the Angel fight and it was pretty funny. Those shock pillars all around the arena kept recharging my shields and there was nothing the baddies could do really. Those hateful fire beam turrets? Tough luck mate, your pillar friend recharges my shield faster than you can damage it.

Also got to level 80 doing that, so I can go back to Digistruct Peak now for OP9/10. Might be a good idea to farm a few items before though, not sure entering OP8 Digistruct Peak with lvl 80 gear is a great idea.

*edit: with “held back” I didn’t mean she was too weak, just that I always wanted a few more points to make her “complete”.

Got Sally up to lvl 80, so time to farm my new OP5+ gear.
First stop was the Dust for a bit, no Lyudas.
Then off to Hunter Hellquist. Hit him with an Electric Chair and 77 B-tch, second run he dropped an OP5 Bee. Oh my, 2.4 million amp damage buff!
Back to the Dust, a bit more farming, still nuthin’
Then dropped back to OP0 to go through Helios Fallen to farm Uranus, got to the one-way fast travel, save/quit/join with max OP.
Uranus is a bit tougher to kill with non-OP guns, but since you can stand there and not get hit it’s just a matter of time.
First run he dropped an OP3 Sawbar. Never had one of those before. Then a Storm sniper (meh), a good Quasar, and something else I’m forgetting…
In killing Uranus I’ve noticed (as I’m sure you have) that he doesn’t have any particular elemental resistance or weakness, so any element seems to pretty much work, which makes him kinda like a test fire dummy.
Tried the Sawbar, but with Accerate maxed the secondary pellets weren’t having time to generate, so just first pellet damage. Not bad, but not great. Quite frankly, my most effective weapon against him is my lvl 79 Fire Avenger, and it’s of course got ammo regen so doesn’t matter how long it takes.
To finish the evening decided to go to the Peak just for a quick look, didn’t have time for a full run.
Well, with the high-power Bee things are dying to my B-tch, so might do more of that tonight.
Edit: Oh yeah, I also got an OP5 Flakker. Hooray?

Going to disagree, but only because I prefer levelling up to end-game. Speaking of, twinked a whole ton of gear and then took my Boosted Axton through Frostburn Canyon in TVHM. He’s almost done with level 38, and rocking a nice white rarity COM and shield because why the heck not?! Time to do something completely different though.

I had them all at OP8 once but I’ve since lost that account and I’m not too keen on doing the day one grind again, that’s what day one was for. I love being at endgame, just not so much the process of getting there. Rarely played the other four anyway.

I’m not familiar with this term?

Transferring gear from one save to another. If you hang around for the full dialogue when you discover Claptrap’s stash, he actually says it.

The only time I’ve ever done that is at the beginning of the final mission, I love his rant about Jack and stairs and his only weakness(es).

Still playing newly op10 Deputy Sal. Finished up upgrading his gear. Finally got a couple clumsy kills in on Hyperius for a couple Evolutions. Neither with great stats but not terrible either. I’m really liking the Evo better than the RR in most situations as it seems to give me better survivability. Farmed an OP10 slag Lady Fist. Ended up with Core prefix, bandit grip which is great for my needs.

Tested my new LadyFist/ROM combo farming the Handsome Sorcerer for a bit. Really hoping for a Conference Call. Got a handful of his standard legendary drops other than the Conference Call…oh well, I’ll come back later. The HS fight is a bit tougher at OP10 but after a couple runs I got into the rhythm of it and I was able to reliably kill him in about 30 seconds repeatedly. Also picked up 2x Magic Missle during the farm.

Lastly farmed a new Harold from the Torgue Machines. Went with my tried and true Intense w/ matching grip. Sure I would have taken a DPUH had it showed itself but I was going to take the first matching grip that came. I only use it while waiting for my Zerk to come back.

I then started the new DLC. Have gotten as far the Scooter mission that allows you to farm the Loot Midget. It’s gone surprisingly well so far. Only one New-U fee at the very beginning of the DLC. So far have only gotten one of the new effervescent weapons but I’m still pretty early in the story. During my cool down time I’ve been using the Harold/MM combo. The Magic Missiles are actually quite good for grog healing as well as slagging. May have to go after the 4x variant.

After I finish this DLC with Sal I may try to get another one of my Vault Hunters to op10 as this has gone much better than expected.

Farming for “new” OP5 gear now that she’s level 80.
Going pretty well. 2nd run on Hunter got me a bee, as I mentioned yesterday.
Then Gettle. Took about 15 runs, but got the Corrosive Lyuda I needed.
As I was experimenting with something else on Uranus (he is a great test dummy) I was able to pick up a Leg Siren from him.
Off to the Bunker and 7 runs for an OP B-tch. BTW, with the 2.5 mil from he new Bee and 1.2 mil from the Lyuda the Bunker is dead in 1/3 of a mag if he holds still so you can hit his sensor pack crit spot. Even if he’s doing the sashaying back and forth thing is just one mag. Also helped refill the eridium I used experimenting on Hadrax.
What else? I think I’m going to go pick up a Hellfire, not needed for the Peak but I love having one.
Edit - Hellfire obtained.

Holy nutcracker. Never have I ever seen a Flakker do so much so fast.

I think you’re onto it here. This may explain why Uranus seldom drops shields or relics. His loot pool may be a copy/paste of Hade’s, but since the rainbow shield and relic are unique to Hade, when they “roll” nothing drops in their place.

Come to think of it, I don’t often see legendary ARs, shields or relics drop from Hade, so when they roll they almost always come out as rainbows.

He did drop a Deadly Bloom once, which threw me off. I usually pass over purples, saw Deadly Bloom and had to double back to have another look because I didn’t think it was possible. Based on that, presumably Uranus should be able to drop it too, since they seem to share a loot pool bar rainbows. I wonder if they’re possible sources for a Cracked Sash too?

i had also a few bunnies on him (which is a tubby drop), so it is possible.

Started the Lilith DLC on TVHM with a level 50 sniper Zer0, skipped farming and simply went with the loot I found on the way. Which on this DLC is enough, considering the number of drops…
For the record Chatterb0x went from level 50 to level 52, clearing the main story and most of the sidequests (Soloing Raid Bosses is for better players…), so starting UVHM with level 50 gear should not be too bad.

The Bandit Technicals now try to chase you everywhere including places where one would think that a mission can be accepted quietly and peacefully…
The award for most aggressive driver goes to:

Spent a level trying to get a Fire and a Corrosive Fastball. Game gave me 2 Explosive and a Shock. Decided to move on, as I was afraid I’d spend so much time trying to get them that my weapons would end up under-leveled. Spent the rest of the night doing most of the quests in Lynchwood. All I have left is getting Slag Tongues for Dukino, and then clearing out the cave he moves to. After that, it’s off to Opportunity.

I picked up an OP3 Flakker from Uranus 2 days ago, from his world-drop pool. I assume Ur and Hade both have WD plus a few dedicated items (like the Electric Chair).
And I’ve never been much of one for the Flakker, but this time I used it as my Second Wind weapon in the Peak and it was very effective.
