WHY AM I DYING SO QUICKLY *Possible Spoilers

[naFyC]

Ok so I'm on the quest "Data Mining" in the Arid Nexus-Badlands and I am quite literally getting 2 shotted by every enemy. One shot takes out my shield and one takes out all of my health. I am a level 26 Zer0 character and my shield is 1497 while my health is 2001. The enemies are one level above me at 27 and there is nothing I can do to stay alive. I have not run into this problem until I came to this quest. Its getting extremely frustrating. I can kill the enemies easily but once there are more then one to worry about I simply get owned by one of them while im shooting the other. What do I need to do? Do other quests and level up first? I dont see how that could really help, the best it could do is maybe make me a 3 shot kill. I simply do not understand.

I was 30th or so (finished game at 32nd) and my shields and HP were in the 4k range while playing as Axton.

Damn. Im so close I can almost taste it. Sucks that I have to wait another couple hours.

Have you tried a seperate spec? If you plan on streaming through underleveled. Dunno much about zero as I'm still working on a maxed Axton first. I found his Survival and Far left (forget the tree name) were good to swap back and forth from depending on the mission.

Usually a good idea to stay a similar level to enemies. Noticed Super Badass Maniacs 1 shot me every time until I got to the same level as them (had the same shield as before. Level must reduce damage a little)

After playing for awhile im now almost level 28 with 2239 shield and 2262 health. Hopefully that helps. I'll be o the lookout for a items that should help with survivability though. Thanks for the tip.

I recommend staying in your car, and using your car's machine gun to level up..

Well I was talking about the parts where you had to turn on the pumps...where you cant be in your car. :p

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!!!!

What happens is there are pools of purple liquid that look like a swamp. This liquid is slag, which we all know multiplies damage taken. If you jump in, you'll notice a purple-ish flame emenate from the bottom of your HUD, which indicates you've been slagged. So my advice is to stay out of these pools of slag.

[Funny Rat]

Note: If you drive your car through slag then you will become slagged and remain slagged until you restart the game.

Figured as soon as I read the title that it was because of the slag lol

zero is bad for soloing dude, try gunzerk or axton

Hillarious this got rebirthed 3 years later.
There's a bug in that map btw, if you drive thru the slag you stay slagged until you exit the game. Oh and don't forget to push the Authority button near pump house 3. ;)
