Handsome Jackpot... mission/enemy levels too low
I just finished the main story and I'm level 51. I started playing the Handsome Jackpot. I had the mission since level 13. Now every enemy is level 13 and even new side missions I accept are only level 13. Will this scale at some point?

I found when I played it, the first zone of the DLC was lower level than me (I was higher than 13 at the time). After I moved out of that zone the enemies scaled to my level.

if you put your game in mayhem mode 1,2,3 or 4 then it will scale up, also going to TVHM will scale enemies

Thanks.

The game scaled on normal mode after entering the 2nd map of the DLC. No idea why it would not scale the 1st map, because I never entered that before. It was showing me the intro when I started playing the DLC...

This happened to me as well with FL4K which is weird because I'm positive when I played with Moze it scaled properly without having to use Mayhem. What's even weirder is that Guns, Love, and Tentacles seems to scale normally but Handsome Jackpot doesn't.

From my experience, the 1st area of a dlc scales to whenever it is you 1st look at the poster or note that you accept the mission at. If doesn't matter if you accept or not, even touching the ! locks that 1st dlc area.

So if you avoid touching the quest at all, it will scale properly. If you look at the poster (or note) then whatever level it happens to be at that time, is what level the 1st area will be, even if you accept and do later.
