Third Playthrough Campaign

[HCFREAK]

After I finished the game twice, there is the option for a third playthrough (forgot what it's called, but it's something like 'Super Ultra Mega Vault Hunter blabla'), but it doesn't matter in which direction I go, which quest I try to take on... it seems like my guns are like a bad joke. Even using some shift keys, to get new and better guns out of the box in the city makes no differnces.

Although the missions themselves are labeled as 'Normal' difficulty, I get my ass handed to me. It's not even funny any more. I simply don't have the slightest chance.

Is this intentionally?? Is it, so you can only play Coop for the third playthrough? Am I doing something wrong?

Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode UVHM. This playthrough always scales to you, enemies and loot. If you started it higher than level 50, your guns from TVHM will be under level. The enemies are tougher to deal with, have health regen and many have shields.
1st rule of UVHM is use slag. You really should slag them first then switch to the correct weapon for the enemy, shock for shields. corrosive for armour etc.

Because your enemies are a lot tougher to deal with, you may have to re-think your tactics a bit and adjust to the new reality of UVHM. Early UVHM is probably the hardest part of the journey. Once you figure out how to deal with the new enemies etc, slag everything that moves and try to keep your gear on level, it will become a bit easier. Never easy, but as you progress and gain more skill points your character will become more powerful.

The entirety of UVHM can be done solo. All the way to the optional Over Power levels. You do not need to do it in co-op.

Slag everything, match elements to your enemies and maybe adjust your tactics / gameplay a bit.

the 3 VHMs are the 3 difficulties - so even if the games says the Mission-difficulty is "normal" in UVHM that will be like a "hard" mission in TVHM.
(and darn i feel bad ... after having played BL3 and not BL2 for some time even TVHM southern Shelf (start region) feels hard XD
