(Resolved) Having Trouble on the Tea Party Quest

[Shen]

I’m currently stuck on Tiny Tina’s quest where she tortures the flesh stick guy at her tea party. I’m playing as zer0 and this is my second run of the game. The first time around I was super oblivious so I basically ended up finishing without doing any of the side quests. My current level is like 42 or 43. My weapons are decent, and my loadout consists of a corrosive vladof sniper, an explosive vladof rocket launcher, a normal vladof rifle, and an electric tediore smg, all orange quality. My problem is I can’t kill all the bandits fast enough to prevent damage to the generator because I always have to reload and my guns don’t do that much damage against the badasses, even though I’ve done every side quest available to me on this run so far. Rn I’m considering just cutting my loses and continuing on with the story before returning. Any tips?

Sounds like a nasty SMG with a big clip & ammo regen might do the trick.

See if you can get a Pearlescent Avenger SMG from the slot machine in the Flamerock Pub (in the Tina DLC) and a Lege Bee shield from the Treants in the Forest (also in the Tina DLC). That slot m/c is the only place in the game where you can obtain an Avenger at your current level (actually at any level below 50 UVHM). That pair should make a quick & happy end to that mission ~ stand in front of that generator to block incomings at any cost.

A Sand Hawk SMG + the Bee will also work as will a Lyuda or Pimpernal Sniper Rifle but they don't give ammo regen like Avenger does and you'll thank yourself for getting that gun at such a low level ~ you can trust me on it. It's the most powerful SMG in the game & a joy to own. Have fun

what lvl are your weapons? green or blue gear on lvl should be good enough for that mission

Maybe like a level or two behind, but pretty much on level.

use drop reload... bind drop wepon and wen u need to realod just drop it and quickly press e... save lot of time

[Draekus]

have you got as far as " The Once and Future Slab" mission ?
if so, get Rocko's Modern Strife from Brick in Sanctuary.
this'll give you access to Thousand Cuts for farming.
in TVHM , level max should be 46. there are 4 loot chests with this level of gear.
min. level is about 42. everything else should be around this level.

edit : what, if any, DLC do you have ?

There at uncertain times when in TVHM, the enemies are at level 50 due to an unknown bug.

You may have not notice it.

There are 2 choices for you.

1.
Farm legendaries or Purple weapons. But by than, you'll be above level 45 to 48. And if by any chance, your weapons will still be lower than the enemies level's.

2.
Just drop the side quest till you're level 48 to 50. That is to say, make many kills until you level up. Or you can join a friend who is still doing the main mission in TVHM to level up.

If you have friends playing this game, they can help. If you don't have any, just open your game to public.

Newbs will tell you to farm weapons and blah blah blah, but zero is an OP character and you can pretty much kill everything in sight with white weapons if you have the right skills selected and you use them in combat. Respec and play smarter.

Yea I was able to beat it by just spam throwing tediore weapons and using stealth to regen health when needed. Turns out my mistake was that I was playing to careful and hanging out near the back behind cover instead of being at the entrance to draw fire and kill quickly. Thanks again for the help guys.
