Need to increase shield strength & my damage as the DLC in PT2 is impossible solo with enemies doing too much damage making the game unplayable. I'm surprised Gearbox released it in this state without testing it first.

Whoever's responsible for this needs to be fired immediately. I'm wondering if Borderlands 3 will be any better as no refunds after 2 hours doesn't allow for the 2nd PT to be accessed within that time period meaning editors, etc will be needed to make the game playable because it can't be refunded.

I really don't understand why they seem to think making enemies into ice-skating-aim-bot-stun-locking-bullet-sponges doing huge amounts of damage = difficulty. Instead of just adding more enemies. Some of the enemies are walking backwards while reloading & moving round obstacles faster than I can run forwards.

Anything available to fix this would be appreciated.

Have you completed the base game before going to DLC areas? Also did you check stores?

Yes, every quest available. Started the Clap Trap DLC, should I choose another DLC instead? I'm playing Roland, but with Lilith I tried the zombie DLC which wasn't so bad up to a point. The T-Bone junction DLC is near impossible. The cars are like paper so didn't get far before giving up.

I have good weapons, but I can't even come out of cover to shoot before instantly losing my shield & most of my health so I can shoot once or not at all. Trying to get through each area is such a chore & dying too much. Gearbox really need to tone down the damage/difficulty of the enemies in the DLC as it's pretty ridiculous atm. I've tried coop, but apart from lag or damage not registering when I shoot enemies, it's even harder so an extra person or more to play with actually makes the game worse.

What Gearbox don't seem to understand is that they can make the enemies do more damage, but making them also have even more health is just stupid. I just tried again now & didn't last more than a few seconds before being downed. That's not a game. It's unplayable. I'm basically made of glass, but on top of that I can't even do any damage to the enemies. Where's the sense in that?

Relax, go have fun grinding up new gear, levels, and weapon proficiency. You would not like Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode or DLC's in B2 until you get better and familiar with everything. Borderlands is the best game ever made, I hope it "clicks" and starts that spark of passion my friend.

Regarding coop lag, I’ve found the fix actually works especially for the host which what you described is exactly what I experienced until the host performed the edit.

What would really help us is for you to be more like Scooter and throw some numbers at us :steamhappy:
Be as specific as you can, eg Hyperion Dump, enemies at 53-55, player at 49 (if like this then nothing will help because the player is simply too low)

Ok, thanks. All I really want to do is increase my shield & damage. Unless willow tree can do that then I'm not really bothered about adding weapons.
So I can't see the levels of your guns in that pic but I will tell you confidently if your gear is all around the same level as your COM, there's a big part of the problem.

Borderlands 1 has by far the most generous scaling of the franchise, I used a nasty blue shotgun from 34 to early 50s one playthrough. If you're using relatively on-level guns, you shouldn't be having much of a problem. Shields should take a few bullets unless maybe you're running one of the rapid recharge shields. Not familiar with those. Mostly use heath boost, healing shields, and max cap depending on the character, and all of my builds will eat a good few bullets before taking health damage.

Admittedly, this is based on the original, because the Enhanced Edition likes to eat weapons, from what I understand, and I'm not about to risk my gear.

Hmm so I'll have to download Willow Tree to give myself weapons at my level because how can I get them otherwise if I can't kill anything? Unless in the base game all enemies are at my level, but still, it will take a while to get weapons just to be able to play the DLC. Seems an odd way to do things.

I suppose I could use some gold keys for the chest, but I won't be able to transfer weapons over too my other characters? All the keys will be wasted on 1 character?
