Lynchwood sucked all the fun out of the game

[Robber N0T from here]

Playing as Axton, currently at level 28-30

ALL enemies suddenly have more health, stronger shields, better accuracy, and inflict collossal damage. Can I skip the side-quests in Lynchwood and advance the main story? That's really my only question, do side-quests need to be completed the minute they're given, or can you complete them at any point of the game, including after you beat it?

you can complete side missions any time, but if you wait too long they might end up being too low level for you, making them really boring and not worth much xp.

Sounds like fun to me.
You dont have to set foot in either Lynchwood or Caustic Cauldrons to finish the main story but they are great maps; missing them out would be like buying a house then not using two of the best rooms.
Edit: The best challenge with Lynchwood is to head there immediately after completing Hunting the Firehawk and honking at Bloodshots gate. For some reason it is accessable through the door in the Dust. Then you can take on the enemies in Lynchwood when you are level 10.

No ("do sides quests need ...") ~ that's why the game calls them "optional". Have fun

All the side quests are optional. The experience you gain from them however, is not. Do enough side quests to stay at the level of the main story mission (more or less).

Honestly, I love Lynchwood, but ... it kind of comes after the Clan War (which I'm sick of, because I don't actually like the Hodunks or the Zafords) (and unlocking Thousand Cuts) so I haven't done it in ages.

So .. those are two huge side quest lines that I usually skip, and I STILL usually end up at around level 33 before I'm done with the main story.

So short answer: No, feel free to skip Lynchwood if it bugs you.

Ah, someone who likes to screw the linear storyline. I remember once I made it to the BNK3R map, before I met Brick.

But the blokes at Lynchwood should be level 26ish. If you can't tackle them at 28-30, then you need to update your gear ASAP.

How’s that even possible? The bunker area doesn’t open up until u meet brick.

GEAR GEAR GEAR. Also spam your saber turret and axton is the worst playable character in the game

You can grenade jump past the death wall. I guess it's not really a deathwall. I've got screenshots somewhere.

actually, farming Nisha (aka "The Sheriff of Lynchwood") is quite worth it, as you can get not only the Sheriff's Badge from her, but the occasional Jakobs Law pistol as well

[HiTmAn]

its worth it sheriff badge is very good as well deputy badge... 56% extrea fire rate and 23% extra pistol dmg is very handy in some situations wen u fight dukino mom...or for snowman parried with lady fist

And lets not forget the Mad Dog's legendary drop, and the Bane ...

Even if you've made it to UVHM, you can return to normal mode and complete all side missions if you wish. You may find them a little too easy then though.
