Switch between Normal Mode and True Vault Hunter Mode

[Battlekruse]

Sorry to ask but you can go from Normal Mode to True Vault Hunter Mode and back again?.

The reason I am asking is because I have almost completed a lot of stuff in Normal Mode, but still missing a DLC and some other quest.

So I was thinking maybe start up on the True Vault Hunter Mode and gain some exstra levels and maybe some new weapons and gear and then switch back a little later to Normal Mode again and finish the DLC.

Is that possible or is True Vault Hunter Mode something there lock and overwrite your save game?

Character Select -> Select Character -> Select Normal Mode form new window that pops up

Short answer: Yes.


You can, at any time, go back to the menu and switch to a difficulty you have unlocked already.
There are 3 difficulties (Normal, True and Ultimate Vault hunter mode - nvhm, tvhm, uvhm) and for uvhm, if you have the lilith-DLC; there are additionally 10 OP-levels - unlockable extra-levelups guarded by a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of monsters and some strong bosses.


The story-progress is saved for each difficulty individually. A mission finished in tvhm is only finihsed there and will not affect uvhm for example. So when you start tvhm then you can do all missions again. If you finish it in uvhm but havent played it in nvhm the quest is still available in nvhm.

Aside from that - in tvhm you want to make sure to NOT be much higher than lvl 50 when finishing it as in Uvhm enemy-level scales with your level, but in tvhm you "only" get equip up to level 50 - if you level higher the mobs will shredd you to pieces.

If you enter UVHM overleveled, you'll have to re-gear with whites and greens from the Liar's Berg vendor machines. Makes the start somewhat tedious, after having pwned in TVHM with level-adequate gear and higher skill levels, but it's doable. Not pleasant, though... ...Clappy's crappy "My First Gun" will out-dps your Lvl50 uber gear once you pass Lvl 55. Only things worth keeping are your slag dispenser, Class Mod, transfusion grenades, and maybe a high capture chance absorb shield...

...but this will only hit you after TVHM. So don't worry too much about that right now.

I played with 2 friends and they wanted to finish the DLC before going for UVHM - we all were lvl 55 - The Bee, Slag-Pimpernal and Hellfire, with that i was pretty much the only person killing everything before we reached the machines.
You just want to avoidthat.

Also depends on who you're playing. I'm pretty sure Siren with Ruin and Converge in Motion will breeze through it.

As other people have already posted, yes you can. It will also save any quest only items like the grog nozzle to the mode, so if you got the grog in normal mode and still on that particular mission, you wont see the grog in your inventory when you switch to tvhm (or uvhm), but will see it again when you switch back to normal mode.

But why not just do the DLCs that you haven't done in tvhm instead?

[Sattori]

Also to note, if you quit/save to a spawn point like a travel station in one mode, and if you switch to a different mode that you have not been to, you will likely spawn at the beginning of the area or DLC.

This is pretty useful on saving time. Example is there is a particular raid boss where I have to go through a particular area that is a pain for me just to get to the nearest travel station in UVHM, so I just switch to TVHM since I haven't done that DLC in that mode, and takes me to the travel station.

I think the only source of over-lvl-50-weapons in true vault hunter mode is golden chest.

[Renfrew]

Indeed, you cannot obtain guns higher than level 50 in TVHM, unless they are from the gold loot chest.

i m playing maya lv53, i wanted an infinity w/ doc mercy, i got it but it is just a lv34 infinity, what's the deal with that? why not around lv 50 since i m already lv53?

You are in True Vault Hunter Mode, it won't be your level unless you go and kill Doc Mercy in the Third playthrough Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode. Nothing scales in the first two playthroughs.

If Doc Mercy is Lvl 3x, he'll only drop Lvl 3x stuff...

...retry in UVHM to get your Lvl 5x lazy eight. There the maps (and the baddies' level) will always be synched to your level.
