Loot level cap in TVHM

[MaxDoomSWE]

I have seen on forums that you cannot get loot above level 50, even though you are way past lvl 50, in TVHM. But those things were written over a year ago and also before UVHM it seems, so i wonder if they are still true.

It still applies. TVHM loot caps at level 50.

still true. you can get garbage gear from the key chest that's your level though

OK, that was odd. Doesnt seem to fit with the design of the leveling system and the content. Oh well. no use in complaining. Thx for replies.

That's why everyone always advices people to enter UVHM at Level 50. To either try not to over-level before entering, or else turn off the UVH Packs so you remain at Level 50 till you're ready.

First Playthrough = Normal Mode
Second Playthrough = True Vault Hunter Mode (TVHM)
Third Playthrough = Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode (UVHM)

@babyyoshi
TVHM = True Vault Hunter mode, the 2nd playthru after you beat the game. starts ~lv 30 and ends ~ lv 50.

UVHM = Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode - 3rd + playthru. starts lv 50, it scales to your level, so you can never outlevel the baddies and just kill em easy. but that also means the loot stays good. also you can replay UVHM multiple times if you like doing the quests over + over (or to get a higher level version of a quest reward)

UVH i dont usually see, but i assume "Ultimate Vault Hunter". he probably means the DLCs for UVH mode, the first ones part of the GotY edition, and raises the max player level to 61. the 2rd raises the cap to 72. and then I'm not sure what adds the "OP1 - OP8" levels
