OP Level question

Voidslik · September 4, 2015, 2:36am

So I’m already familiar with how digipeak works and stuff, as i already have 3 op8 characters, but I recently had my siren boosted from 1-72. Can she unlock OP levels in a co-op game, even if i didnt unlock uvhm yet?

That’s a good question.

Have you tried going to Digistruct and seeing what level it defaults to?
If I had to guess, I’d say it is probably stuck at the upper end of Normal mode ( around level 30, I think ).

If I were a betting man, and I am…I’d say you have to unlock UVHM first. And if you created the new character ( if it was level one, then you haven’t probably left Claptrap’s Place with it or started it in a split screen )…I’m also willing to bet you are going to have to do a quick run through of Normal as well as True…and the second you unlock UVHM, you can run to Digi before you even start UVHM. I do this the second I hit 72 and avoid all side missions with rewards I want until I’m OP8.

But again…great question.
Curious to know the answer.

I would advise against doing OP levels in a co-op, assuming it is possible if you have not unlocked UVHM yet in your game. I have heard that some people who unlock OP levels too early (before making any real progress in UVHM) have lost their OP levels upon completing the main BL2 quest. I would wait until you at least complete part of UVHM (example: Dam Fine Rescue), before tackling the OP levels just to be safe.

this,

Yes, she can unlock the OP levels as the only requirement for that is to be Level 72, but refer to my above quote of Poised2strike

Alright. Just tested with OP1 and she is able to equip OP1 gear. Ill go beat normal mode and tvhm, then tell you guys if i lose my op1 status

Unfortunately, if you do lose your OP status it won’t actually happen until you complete UVHM by killing the Warrior. Since you cannot actually enable OP levels until UVHM, you also cannot potentially lose them until UVHM. This could be potentially disastrous especially if you get to OP8, acquire all OP8 gear and get rid of your Level 72 gear. That is why I advise anyone who plans on doing OP levels with a character to wait until you are at least part of the way thru UVHM before beginning DigiStruct Peak. It is mainly due to this that I won’t take my Mecromancer thru DigiStruct Peak. FYI, my Mecromancer got powerleveled to lvl 72 while still in Normal mode. Hopefully, you won’t get bitten by the “OP level loss” bug / glitch. Good luck!

Hey I had gotta three characters upon finally getting my op8 gunzerker because it was a lot and I went through the story for one of them and after I beat it , the characters op went away and I can’t use the gear. Does anyone have an answer?

Poisd2Strike · April 26, 2016, 12:00am

Did you complete the story as your Gunzerker, who was OP8, and did that character’s OP level disappear? If it was a different character, then you have to get to OP8 for each character separately. If it was your Gunzerker who lost the OP levels, my guess is that you got powerleveled and did not complete much of the main story (in UVHM) before getting your Gunzerker to OP8. This has been known to happen to characters that get powerleveled without getting far enough into the main story of Borderlands 2. Once they complete the game (by killing the Warrior), they lose their OP level on that specific character.

No the gunzerker I did all
By myself but I had a zero and I I had to go through the story because I just boosted him and that’s it and I beat regular vault hunter mode and turned off the game and when I turned it on I couldn’t use the op gear anymore

Gulfwulf · April 26, 2016, 1:13am

You have to be level 72 and have completed Digistruct Peak once for each OP level: once for OP 2, once for OP 3, etc. We’ll need more information: what OP level were you, has any of your characters completed DP 8 times (for OP 8), what level gear disappeared? Things like that.

Poisd2Strike · April 26, 2016, 1:26am

It sounds like you boosted your Zer0 character to OP8, before you even finished Normal Mode. If that is the case, then completing Normal Mode (by killing the warrior) with your OP8 boosted Zer0 erased that character’s OP levels. That is a known issue. You should not boost a character to OP8, before at least getting to Sanctuary in UVHM. Preferably, you should complete A Dam Fine Rescue before even starting DigiStruct Peak.

tl.bowers1117 · April 26, 2016, 1:53am

Okay also I did a maya on my own and I got to uvhm but I didn’t start any of the missions I went straight to digits truck peak. Is that bad?

tl.bowers1117 · April 26, 2016, 1:55am

I have two characters an axtom and a zero , I went trough the story mode with zero and his op’s went away , and I have to go through the story with axtom but I feel the same thing will happen

Poisd2Strike · April 26, 2016, 1:57am

If you boosted your Maya to OP8 before doing any of the missions in UVHM, then finishing the story will probably result in your Maya losing OP levels just like your Zer0 character did (when you finished Normal mode with him). The simple solution is to not finish the main story with your OP8 Maya.

LunaticOne · April 26, 2016, 4:20pm

this in fact, I won’t take anyone through any of the OP levels till they finish NVHM, TVHM and about ½ of UVHM because of that bug.

Gulfwulf · April 26, 2016, 6:55pm

I didn’t know about that bug. I guess it’s because it’s assumed you’ll be in UVHM once you reach 72 given how difficult it is to get XP in TVHM after level 50.

tl.bowers1117 · May 1, 2016, 2:18pm

Alright now al of a sudden my op8 gunzerker lost his op levels out of no where. What happened?

LunaticOne · May 2, 2016, 3:53am

you did at least get ½ through UHVM before getting to OP 8, right?

if not then this below happened

Note: same issue can also happen in TVHM, and sometimes (fairly rare) in UVHM

Yeah I beat the game and everything like all of a sudden they are gone
