Solo mod that makes the game easier

[Slayrix]

So I played this game like a few months back when I first got it and gave up trying to beat it solo, I really want to beat it solo tho because now my friend that I was playing it with is done, I thought that maybe things had changed but it doesn't seem like it, there are hundreds of threads of people complaining about how hard the solo is and I don't want to waste my time raging at this game for hours, I just want something that decreases amount of enemies, or decreases their health, or makes them a bit lower leveled, or something that would make the game easier.

Unofficial Community Patch is considered "Easy mode" for those who struggle with the game. Look it up.

Honestly though, Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode is where the real challenge begins... So if you struggle with Normal Mode, you probably wouldn't manage True Vault Hunter Mode, let alone UVHM. Furtheremore, the "hundreds of people" always complain about the most ridiculous things with regards to difficulty. There are people people who complain that a character is bad, because they suck with that character. There are people who complain that enemies are too strong, while still using the same guns from 5 levels ago. The most ridiculous of all has to be the people who complain overpower levels are too hard, because overpower levels are an option that was literally made so that players could choose their difficulty, hence you are not forced to use it.

Honestly I don't really plan on going through the other playthrough, I would rather just play the game again instead of making it harder, I mostly like to focus on story and not do many side things, maybe like a couple to get my level up to the recomended, and so yeah, but thanks for the info.

If you're having trouble with overleveled enemies just pick up a couple of sidequests along the way. They often contribute to the story and/or add additional lore if that's what you're after.

As mentioned above the UCP (The patch) makes things "easier", but it still keeps the core gameplay of the game. Enemies will have the same HP, spawnrate, etc. It just buffs some things that are mediocre/bad in higher difficulties so don't expect it to make the game a lot easier.

Ok well is there anything else that will make my time with this game easier, like I don't want to spend a long ass time trying to beat the game, I want like a 20 hours play through with out very much trouble

Also I want the game to feel like borderlands 1, this game does not feel like borderlands 1, it feels like I have to grind a lot more just to get an enjoyable experience

Well you can try out the UCP first and see if it's what you're looking for. If it isn't, well then you can try and use Gibbed to get your desired gear, that'd eliminate the grinding aspect of the game.

As for general gameplay, just try to keep your gear on-level, that really makes a lot of difference.

UCP buffs certain skills and improves DPS on lots of weapons, so in that regard it is almost an overpowered buff for Normal mode.

If you came here for a Borderlands 1 experience, then this isn't the game for you. Borderlands 2 isn't a nostalgia trip, it is an improvement on the poor level scaling, slow combat, bad UI and horrible method of storytelling, that was seen in Borderlands 1.

While it is an FPS with RPG elements, you literally do not have to grind to beat this game on Normal Mode or TVHM. UVHM is the only mode that involves any sort of grinding. This is because it wasn't even intended to be part of the game in the first place, players complained TVHM was too easy and so UVHM was made, and then OP levels were made for an even bigger challenge. Anyway, keeping your gear up to date is key as uNorthodoX mentioned; there are vending machines, chests scattered everywhere, boss fights every few levels, side missions. Gear doesn't have to be on level, but using old gear is the only reason you'd struggle in Normal Mode.

use golden keys look for codes online

or just use cheat engine

I would suggest using Gibbed, but only to level your weapons. It's the least destructive, easiest method.

Load it up,
open your character, (Click open, then into the folder, then Sort by date, your current save is the most recent - Double click it.)
goto backpack tab,
click sync all,
Click save.
That's it.
Just remember to Select Character > then your character, if you do this while alt+tabbing from BL2 main menu, to ensure you're loading the character again. Then select playthrough if asked, and Continue.

Otherwise just load the game as usual and away you go. Do this every few levels to keep your weapons and items at your level. No need to change anything else.

Using UCP or Reborn (which I use) is a bit more complicated.

Trying to keep my gear at the right level is the problem, I never seem to get good gear every level, it’s not like bl1 because of that, my gun will end up like 5-6 levels behind till I find a new gun then at that point it just tickles the enimies.

I don’t want to cheat in my guns/gun levels either either, I want an experience that is more balanced, I found a gun that is called the better loot mod that I might try as well, it takes off the level requirements for guns and makes it so you can find certain rarity’s in chests and stuff that you would not usually find there. Seems promising if the ucp mod doesn’t work

I have tip about weapons.
Damage stats on a gun isn't anything. For example.
2 sniper rifles. 1 at lvl 20 lets say 260 damage and 2nd one with lvl 25 but with 240 damage. While this comparison is a bit weak here is a thing. Boss will resist damage from guns that are underleveled. Saying this boss at lvl 25 will not receive more damage from lvl20 gun than from lvl25 gun even if the potentialy "stronger" and lower level gun should more damage.
Just keep eye on every darn thing ( chest, opponents, loot machines ) try your luck. 1st playthrough can be played pretty much with green gun no problem, all those gun/skill synergies really matter ONLY on 3rd playthrough. In 1st playthrough you can try luck with slag mechanics if it is that hard ( slagged enemies receives more damage ) altough slaging requires a bit more skill and equipment, if you manage, it might become very usefull mechanic to use.
Other than that.
You can try playing gunzerker which is considered as broken character by some because of of how strong he can be.

Started a play through with gunzerker, i dont know which skill path to go down, also even if a gun goes down in damage I should still take it if it is my level no matter what, even though it could end up going down in damage it still will do more damage than a gun that is 1-2 levels below? If that’s the case then I have just been playing the game wrong, it just doesn’t seem right to take a gun that does less damage, should I still take a gun even if it goes down say 100-200 damage if my gun is 2-3 levels underleveled or is there a threshold that I shouldn’t pass?
