What is the max weapon- gearscore? How do you get better gear?

[Doktor_KlingeL]

The max Score what I have is from an weapon and it has 701 points. But Ive seen someone with a weapon with a score of 1k.

I play on TVHM. -> Somewhere in the middle of my sencond playthrough.
I am level 60
I have risen my luck by buying the Butt Stallion Milk

With all of that I only find guns with a score of 700 or lower. And Shields, Atrifacts etc with only a score of 650 or lower.

What am I doing wrong?

PS: I also tried Mayhem 10 with someone. But I also did not get above score 700

Gear score is made by the level of the gun and the parts on it.

If someone has 1k they cheated the item.

A simple way is to place the skin on it multiple times to raise it.

Think I read a gun can have up to 64 parts.

I'd be very interested to see this 1k weapon. My money is that it's a modded gun. In all my hours playing this game, the highest I've seen is 761, and that's a rare day one of them spawns.

As long as you're doing Mayhem 10, playthrough type doesn't matte as you'll still get the same loot pools and chances in either Normal or TVHM (with the exception being if you haven't completed Normal mode main story, you won't get anointed guns).

I don't think you're doing anything wrong tbh, typically guns are within the range you said. It's just the very good mayhem guns nearer the 750 mark really are rare and legendary and take a lot of farming, grinding and playing to obtain.. such is life in the Borderlands.

most weapons are between 600-700

when you mod the correct parts it can reach 1400 atleast thats the highest i saw by now (its some exp gear i made with moxis endowment x64

the 1k plus are modded to get that high via cheats and exploits
