Farming him for Crystals to spend at the vendors in Flamerock Refuge, Aegrus' Hunter's Lodge, Oasis, and in the Badass Crater of Badassitude is a fantastic use of your time if you aren't spawning weapons as needed. Pyro Pete up there is your friend-he drops Seraph Crystals at any level in UVHM. So on to my lvl 72 Mech!Ĭomplete all of your quest log if you really love Gaige! I continually jump back and forth between builds at lvl 72 and don't think I will ever settle on just one playstyle.
The best build is ultimately the one that works for you, synergizes gear and abilities, and most importantly makes levelling fun for you. Something along the lines of this at the start of UVHM If I had to level over again I would fill out the Anarchy tree before touching the LBT tree. Like a n00b I didn't really give the Anarchy tree a shot until after experimenting heavily in the Little Big Trouble (LBT) tree. I would often find myself farming tokens in the easier TVHM to spend in UVHM). Keep in mind that the Torgue tokens earned from an earlier game mode still apply at higher difficulties (i.e. Tediore weapons are always great for Gaige as well. Torgue manufactured weapons don't exactly jive with her abilities but they do tend to have smaller magazines and fast reloads. I initially spent my skill points in the Best Friends Forever (BFF) tree.įor Gaige I ended up farming a mountain of Torgue tokens between each step of difficulty. Regardless of your approach, simply playing through the main storyline/sidequests will net a huge assortment of Moxxi weapons and functional blues and purples and if you are lucky that random legendary.
Once in UVHM I'd suggest taking note of those quest reward weapons you enjoy using and SAVE THOSE QUESTS for your last playthrough at UVHM so you won't have to try and grind those quests at the insane difficulty of OP8!!! There is a balance between farming for boss and badass drops at your present level and earmarking quests to complete at OP levels (I'm thinking of you, elusive OP8 Redundant Fibber!) Of course you can always reset your UVHM playthrough after completion of the main quest line from the Character select screen-but be warned this will reset ALL your prior UVHM quests (lose access to Sanctuary, Grog Nozzle, raid bosses, etc.) and you will have to start your playthrough from Liar's Berg and the beginning of the DLCs. Level 1-35 Normal Vault Hunter Mode (NVHM)ĥ0ish-65 Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode (UVHM) A finer point of BL2 that some players may miss is the timing of level-ups to coincide with the Modes of difficulty.
