Headhunter dlcs - which lvl they should be in TVHM?

[SpectatorX]

In normal mode all of them were to me lvl17, now i'm doing them in tvhm and enemis are lvl 45, i am lvl52, is that correct lvl for these missions in tvhm?

if you have beaten warrior in tvhm all new missions should be lvl50, if you have some undone but accepted quests they will be the original level, although all enemies will be lvl50-52(bosses) drops will be lvl50, i suggest you start uvhm soon as you are getting too high level to survive the start of uvhm

ifr you're level 52 then you should be in uvhm not true mode

[SpectatorX]

Yes, we jumped now into uvhm and beginning is tough :-)

Too late now, but for the future:

Disable the level increase DLCs until you are actually through with TVHM and willing to jump into UVHM.

Leveling beyond 50 makes it really hard to start in UVHM.

Seriously, there should be sort of disclaimer to people who own all dlcs "do not start dlcs until uvhm, go just with main story otherwise you will feel pain in your gameplay in beginning of uvhm".

As me and my friend with who i'm playing the game in coop are both now lvl53 i came with an idea to rely currently on our lvl50 legendaries: slagga, hornet, hellfire, lyuda and just trying to play through further and when we level up just go back and farm for legendaries of current level from bosses which we already beaten in uvhm. Would this strategy work out?

early uvhm is not hard at all to farm for leveled gear. all you have to do is slag and not have a stupid build.

Yes, now with slagga game is not so hard, enemies get killed pretty quickly.

The Slagga is pretty much the most powerful weapon in the game, and even more so in Coop when you have 1 player dedicated to permaslagging everything with it while the rest deals damage with other elements.

[SpectatorX]

Yes, that's our plan for now: me most of the time using slagga, my coop partner finishing them all off.

FWIW, in TVHM (and Normal Mode), the level in the Headhunter DLC's should be based on your level when you first entered them, and then doesn't change after that. They can go up to 50 in TVHM. If they were 45 for you, that theoretically means that you first entered them when you were 45. However, some have said that the HH DLC levels were lower when they hadn't entered them before, so it's possible that the HH DLC levels can glitch.

Anyway, if you're trying to gear up for UVHM, and you have the Mercenary Day DLC, I suggest farming that. It's not that hard in UVHM, even with somewhat under-leveled gear (with the possible exception of the boss). There are no special mission rewards in the HH DLC, so there's no reason to save the mission for later, and, like everything else in UVHM, Mercenary Day will always scale to your current level, so you can go back and farm the train chest for new gear whenever you like.

Unfortunately this "dlc scales to lvl with which you entered it for the first time in playthrough" seems to be not true for me and my friend. In normal mode we were doing headhunter dlcs as last and enemies and missions were lvl17... In tvhm lvl37.

I don't know. I've played all of the HH DLC's in Normal Mode and TVHM with various characters and they've always worked that way for me. Most of the time I first entered them in NM and TVHM when I was at a higher level, and they were at their max (35 and 50). When I first entered them at a lower level (eg. 15 in NM or 41 in TVHM), they were that level.

FWIW, you said they were 37 in your last post, but you said 45 in your first post.
