Level 50 saves with TVHM done, and no side quests or DLC done?

[Drag0n]

Basically my favorite way to play BL2 is post-TVHM, when everything scales to level 50, like how Borderlands 1 end-game was. Has anybody uploaded saves of just that; TVHM done with no side quests or dlc done?

[Nakos]

That was what people used to call "Borderlands 2.5" back in the day. Been years since that was a thing though.

You could make one yourself. Either the old fashioned way (by leveling up). Or you could use Gibbed to create a special (level 50, no side quests done) save file and copy it anytime you wanted to do a run.

Yeah I just thought maybe someone had a save uploaded somewhere, not really feeling like playing the entire game again right now. I had found a save at level 50, but it had all quests done (was intended for UVHM)

Well, that's probably going to be the problem with most level 50 saves. You could try a search for BL2.5 saves, but ... it's been a long time since level 50 was max, so I suspect they'd be kinda scarce.

Like I say, you could just make one with Gibbed.

Yeah I guess i'll probably end up doing that. Thanks though.

Yeah thanks, but that's actually the one I mentioned that already has all side quests/ DLC done. I'd really like if it was exactly this but with Nothing done (besides main quest)

[Nakos]

Well, you can use Gibbed to unflag questlines too, so ... you could try that if you wanted. Just toss out any gear you'd rather acquire yourself.

If you do what Nakos said and download Gibbed you can delete the mission progress for the DLC missions (deleting works fine as the game will automatically re-add them to their respective start location). Everything on those save files was finished in order (Story first then DLC - I know that as the creator). The things you don't want to delete start with "GD_Z1", "GD_Z2" and "GD_Z3". Anything else is DLC, they are especially noticeable because they usually have flower/plant names such as "GD_Lilac", "GD_Iris", "GD_Anemone", "GD_Allium", etc.

This thread has given me some ideas for releasing alternate versions, so I might manually modify the save files for you, although no promises I will do this anytime soon or even at all.

There's also a way to force scaling on TVHM to level 50 from the start would that interest you? In other words you can play through the whole of TVHM as level 50. I haven't fully tested this last thing, as it is still a WIP that requires use of BLCMM and of course a level 50 save file.

Yeah that would be great!

Sorry for getting back to you so late, here's this:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BQerG3PJk2ktXugwCf_2a58l0NkUXv-M/view?usp=sharing

You need to use BLCMM, enable hex editting of your executable. Place this file in binaries and then whenever you start-up the game type "exec TVHM".

This will scale the game up to level 50 right from the beginning.

In terms of save files, here you go:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YRUjM6oBSxaqWx4XpqlkJmDwUP-t-ikh/view?usp=sharing

All start at level 50 (gear has been nerfed down to blues except Jakobs sniper which has been nerfed down to green, because blues have really bad fire rate).

Wow, really cool, thanks so much! My only question is with gear nerfs, does that effect all weapons or just starting weapons?

[Renfrew]

Starting weapons only, no global gear changes at all, only level changes.

Allright awesome, thanks!

[Renfrew]

Oh and I forgot to say you might have to open the file in BLCMM first to check that the options are ticked, sometimes mods don't have the options ticked already.

Put the save files here:
Documents/My Games/Borderlands 2/[SteamID64 number]/Saves

The SteamID64 number is a number that is unique to your Steam Account. If there is only one folder in Borderlands 2, then that’s what you are looking for. If you are sharing a PC, and multiple Steam accounts on that PC have save files, then there will be more than one folder. If you are not sure which is yours, your SteamID64 number can be found here: https://steamidfinder.com/ .

You will have to rename the save files to match the format SaveXXXX, so for example if you have Save0001 up to Save0006, you should rename the next save file Save0007, then Save0008, etc. up to a maximum of Save9999.
