What are the benefits of using the community patch?

And where do i find it.

from what I seen it allows higher level weapons to spawn easier and a less chance of the crappy ones dropping

UVHM needs the best weapons and the right skills for each player class to survive it

"Benefits" here are quite specific, since not everyone likes it. But i'll say things what i like in UCP:
1) QoL stuff, like: autopickup eridium, tokens, cristals; indication of some skills on XP bar (Drunk effects, OSOK activated) and other things. It would seem, a trifle, but it's so pleasant.
2) Buffed/rebalanced gear and skills. Yes, game became easyer. But from other side - you can try different gear setups and/or builds whose kinda meh or not valuable in vanilla.

And in the same time, i found some changes - meh (legendary revard from raid boss mission and couple skills changes). Fortunately, FilterTool exists - you can turn off changes what you don't like.

how do you get the patch?

Banned in Google? :)

Edit: And before i forget, be careful when you playing multiplayer with players who doesn't have patch (especially if you have custom additions and/or gear randomizer mod and things like that) - sometimes it's broke/delete items in their invertory.

There really are none until after you've soloed the game legit from lvl 1 to lvl 80 on a couple of classes. After some reasonable amount of effort like this invested in getting to know and love the vanilla game (or in coop) if you're looking for something a little bit different to play at OP8 while waiting for Gearbox to release the next proper installment of the BL series still in develpment sched for fall 2019 release, then sure if you want to do it, the UCP + FilterTool maybe fun to try out. Developers recommend users be familiar with & feel comfortable using Hex Editors. Have fun PS Gearbox has donated space to the developers on their forums to discuss the UCP with new and experienced users and you can rely upon info, advice and links given you over there ... there are separate links for UCP BL2 and UCP TPS ... this is the one for UCP BL2 ... https://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/t/unofficial-community-patch-thread/1557735/122 ... They'll provide you with current news & links ... Current version is UCP4+

Benefits? Community patch is one thing, you may like it or not, the filtertool an entire different beast, providing a general framework for mods and allowing stuff like 'no more damage numbers' or the 'cutscene disabler'..like 100% cutscene free, bye, bye, Ellie.

Filtertool is the real star of the ucp project.

I'd have to agree, that's the best thing that came out of it. So many awesome mods wouldn't have been possible without it.

Just a quick thank you for the UCP man. I played BL2 to death, thought I was done, but noooooo :).
Cheers man and keep up the good work.

Best thing from this Community Patch: Axton is not full of bad skills now.

And I don't use Cosmetic Changes, I disabled a bunch of things from the Patch.
