Squeek111 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Ok, so I've reached Lvl 60 now, (just a bit towards 61) But the enemies I encounter are still around lvl 37 and the weapons are at max 40-45.. and have been so for long now. Is the only way to get higher lvl weapons to start "playthrough 2" ? Or have something happened to my save? (I feel I must have better weapons to beat Crawmerax) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 On Playthrough 1 the enemies won't level much higher than they are now as there is no scaling in Playthrough 1. All the really good gear is in Playthrough 2.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the really good gear is in Playthrough 2.5. Which in fact isn't a playtrough. Just something the developers call it once you hit level 50 I think in playtrough 2 I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 In BL1, just like BL2, you have to kill the end game boss for the Scaling to kick in and bump all the items up to your level : Playthrough 2 - Borderlands Wiki - Walkthroughs, Weapons, Classes, Character builds, Enemies, DLC and more!

All the really good gear is in Playthrough 2.5. But .... since Im going for the "clear all missions" in the Knoxx DLC.. wont that ruin the trophy? or am I missing the point there? Maybe I just can't clear the certain mission? Edited May 23, 2013 by Squeek111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) If you've already started Knoxx on Playthrough 1 then changing to Playthrough 2 gives you a higher chance of the trophy glitching, you're only way out is to have someone with Playthrough 2.5 weapons come in and kill him for you but backup your save first in-case something goes wrong. Playthrough 1 weapons won't even scratch Crawmerax and his minions. Edited May 23, 2013 by Terminator Rephrased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'm spoiling anything here but as Terminator said, only when you kill "the Destroyer" at the end of the main game, the enemies will start going above level 50. Not before And it won't ruin the trophy no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you get the trophy, you can then try taking him out yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cleared the story some days ago, and now I'm doing Zombie Island but I haven't switched to PT2 yet because I fear I might be too low levelled.

Terminator Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 On Playthrough 2 they should be at roughly your level but once you hit Playthrough 2.5 the enemies go all the way up to 71/72, though Crawmerax goes to 73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not too bad. After all the Zombies are 35-37(38?) now and I don't have any problems with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I feel I must have better weapons to beat Crawmerax) If you want higher level gear, then just buy them at the vending machine before the area where you fight Cramerax. All of the equipment there are all level 58 and higher. They are expensive though. I was on Playthrough 1 and my best weapon was a level 38 shotgun. So I just bought a level 61 sniper rifle and killed Cramerax with it. It was about $5,000,000. I did this all on Playthrough 1. So starting Playthrough 2 is unnecessary, more time consuming, and harder if you just want to finish all the missions in the General Knoxx DLC.
