Borderlands Play through 2.5

With the help of Clumsy G, I finished the second play through of Borderlands. No easy task…as Clumsy can attest by the time you get to the Crimson Fastness levels, every fight is a mini-boss battle. Most enemies are scaled to level 50 death is quick and often. But we saw it to the end and completed the second play through.

Now there is no official third play through. However after the second play through all enemies are scaled to level 50 and 51, plus all the bosses are back at their original locations. The reward for beating them again are much more valuable and rare items! It is obvious the overall goal of this FPS / Dungeon Crawler is to find the best loot, orange items being the most rare and powerful. These items have a higher chance of dropping at the hardest levels (play through 2.5) and with 4 players.

I attempted to go back and check out the two DLC’s on the first play through to get the missions off my check list and but was severely disappointed to find all enemies are at level 30 (weak) and all weapons and items are at no higher than level 45. In my opinion it is a waste of time since you will never get the higher valued / power items.

I’m still running the Borderlands event this Friday night. It will be to kill mass amounts of fools and go treasure hunting. If you’re a lower class character bring them and we can add some levels to your player. If you have the Zombie DLC that would be helpful. I think we all need to be maxed at level 50 before we try the Mad Moxxi DLC.
