Is Neptune(open world) insanely difficult for anyone else.

When the LIghtfall started i did select Legendary for the campaign. but the open world of nepture seems to have some really difficult (sometimes immune to damage) just red bar health normal enemies. Did I accidentally put the whole world of neptune on legendary difficulty.

That's because of your Light level. You're getting "immune" because you're too low.

Use some Upgrade Modules, increase the light level of your gear and you'll have an easier time (although do note: Even at the soft cap most enemies on Neomuna still have swords next to their names).

Your power level is also set to -5, so it'll always feel more difficult. Meant to simulate a "war time" feel.

feels more like -10 or -15 at times myself.

best way to up ones light level is to do strikes, seasonal activity, public events, etc, get the higher light blues and put them on (i upped their energy enough to put a stat mod on them if it's too low) and just let it grow, save your upgrade mods for when you NEED a specific exotic or good roll weapon you have to bring it up to par for the content. otherwise you'll be burning upgrade modules like mad.

when you get closer to 1770-1780 then consider upgrading your better gear. the legendary completion reward gives a full 1770 weapons and armor set for upgrading with or using.

Power level 1750 is when I was able to damage enemies on Neptune, they still take a beating and the high value targets are basically strike bosses.

This is my favorite part of a new DLC, being underpowered :D

Well, seeing as Neomuna's recommended light level is 1810 while we were all set to 1600, yeah, it would be pretty hard compared to what we are used to.

Next time you die to an enemy, look at their power level next to their name. You can also use the symbols when looking at regular enemies as rough indicators; sword means you are somewhat low compared to them, skull means you are much lower, and question marks mean you are so low they are immune to you. You are likely fighting enemies around 1800 power as a <1750 power guardian, and the larger the difference is, the more damage they do and the less damage they take.
