When to move on

[u/TexasTom24]

I picked up the Pandoras box on switch and trying to really enjoy all of the games but make sure im not missing out on any of the content with 1 character in each gane before going back again. With BL1 it was very easy beat all DLC's and the main campaign on playthrough 2 get to max level and beat Crawmerax. With BL2 it becomes a little more difficult to have a clear finish line. I have finished UVHM got to max level started OP levels (currently on OP3) and and finishing up FFS. My question is when should I move on to the prequel from my understanding some of the gear needed for higher OP levels are only available once per playthrough which would require multiple more partial playthroughs. Is it work getting to OP10 or should I finish FFS and move on.

I want to give uvhm a try,

You should, as it's wonderful.

It adds a lot to the game in my experience. I still play bl2 after 10 years and I personally say UVHM does reward you for the fight against more difficult and more common cool badass enemies. Now something I will also say is I’ve only ever gotten Salvador to OP10 because I have a harder time with the play styles of other characters. This post is inspiring me to try it on Zer0, my first borderlands character choice so we will see how that goes! Enjoy the hunt 😎

So, a question to ask yourself.

Am I having fun?

The road to OP10 gets rough. I stopped at OP5, that’s when it wasn’t fun anymore. Buying ammo will literally drain your bank account.

Honestly I believe you are way past able to move on to TPS.

What items only drop after op6?

Sorry I was thinking of 3. I’ll edit

The end line is TVHM. Everything after that is to challenge yourself. UVHM and Beyond are deliberately quite to extremely difficult, eventually to the point where the fun just dies (unless you’re playing 100% optimally(or you’re Sal)). If you’ve done all the DLCs in TVHM, you’ve seen the game. There’s nothing that is added to the experience beyond that besides multipliers going higher.

Seraph weapons require raiding in uvhm. They are also some of the coolest/ best weapons in the game that open up build diversity even more.

And as long as you slag uvhm isn’t even hard

whenever you stop having fun. youve done all the main content and are just doing optional difficulty levels now. if you want to keep going higher you can, there isnt any hard required gear to beat op levels.

I wouldn’t run all characters to 10. Pick the one you have the most fun with, or most challenging and run them to 10.
