  This pack is very much essential for the complete Borderlands 2 experience which is why I recommend it, however I still resent the fact that 2K did NOT include it in the GotY edition. It's more levels which means it's mandatory when playing public games as playing a 61 with a bunch of 72's is not fun. Pros & cons; + Extends playtime and enhances replay value + Adds one of the most fun raids in the entire game +Provides more challenge as the enemies will still scale to your level - Will cost you more money, even if you own the GotY edition that should have included this in the first place One con, but a pretty big one imho. 2K should put this pack and the headhunters (and the... *shudders* skin packs I guess) into a bundle with a decent price drop. I know I won't be buying a single skin or headhunter pack and neither should you, it supports this kind of godawful marketing strategy and will doublessly spawn even more games that try to imitate it (see also the Call of Duty franchise). It's not even the first time they've sold us huge but incomplete DLC bundles for this title, take a gander at the so called season pass if you will. Not sure about you, but I don't like being duped when it comes to content. Buy it if you love the game to bits and have the time to sink into capping out several characters. Don't buy it with the game unless you know you will get a lot of mileage out of it in the long term.

  Should be included with GOTY

  [Update: the Community Patch helps to rebalance the OP levels and make them slightly less aggravating through item and character rebalances. The guns from the DLC actually becomes decent and a lot more character builds become viable. If you're running the UCP tweaks THIS DLC IS WORTH IT.] If you were considering buying this DLC, please read this review. I'm not going to try and dissuade you because of the money, but because of what UVHMII may do to your BL2 experience. I can't in good faith recommend UVHMII. I've spent hundreds of hours beyond Lv61, and believe me, it pains me to downvote ANY part of the Borderlands series. I am exhausted. I've tried to do the Peak solo but it's honestly one of the worst things I've done in my life. It nearly cost me my love of this game and it's raised my blood pressure to presumably dangerous levels. ---- What this purchase offers: 1. Level cap. Not worth any money, really. You can already Upgrade your character to get two capstone Skills in UVHMI and the enemies don't change in UVHMII. The level cap is essentially useless. 2. Player skins. Provides passing, momentary amusement. Largely an afterthought to me but perhaps of interest to other players. 3. Legendary Class Mods and 4 new Pearls. The new set of Legendary Class Mods are great, but they didn't create Legendary versions of more than half of the mods in the game. A number of character playstyles get cut off in UVHMII because GB didn't support 'em. As a result there's only a small handful of viable upgrade paths to get you through the Peak since you're gonna need the extra skills from the Legendary Class Mods to get anywhere. My appraisal of this DLC would be much sunnier if GB had included a Legendary Variant of every class mod. I see no reason why they shouldn't have done so. As for the new Pearls, I can't even comment on them because I've never found them. They supposedly drop from Tubbies (as with the new Class Mods) but after 65+ hours of Tubby hunting I have yet to see ONE. I can understand making an item rare, but making it nearly unobtainable is just mean. There's no reason for those, hell, ANY of the pearls to be that rare. If they're anything like the UVHMI Pearls they wouldn't be worth mentioning. For all intents and purposes this part of the DLC is non-functional. 4. The Digistruct Peak challenge itself. The Peak is, to be succinct, an aggravating experience. There's not much to offer in the way of a story (one of the main strenghths of the base game) and you have to repeatedly fight the same enemies in the same arenas using, in all likelihood, the same guns you used in the previous run. I'm ALL for a challenge but the Peak gets boring after a while. Despite the developer claims about mixing things up during a run, the selection of enemies and the way you engage them is fairly routine. 5. The OP levels. I'm not sure how I would have made BL2 harder myself, but this doesn't feel right. 98% of the loot in the game (including nearly every Class Mod you find) becomes immediately useless and most people have to resort to using game-breaking techniques and exploitave strategies in order to win. In order to beat the Peak and keep going to higher levels, you will likely end up grinding the same enemies dozens and dozens of times in order to get the gear you need. In my experience about half of the time spent moving up through the OP levels is spent repeatedly restarting the game and killing the same boss 15-20 times. This is a far cry from the on-the-run improvisation of the earlier game. Before the OP levels, you can still pick up a gun and run with it. In OP, you have to use a fairly limited pool of gear in order to survive. Although I agree that BL2 needed something to make it more challenging, I'm not on board with it being such a dramatic shift from the tempo of the earlier game. The challenges in combat are exaserbated by the pain of the RNG in OP. Aside from the fact that you have to completely re-equip your character every level or two, the RNG of combat is much more frustrating. The OP levels feel like they're designed to be a challenge from an FPS game. Little RNG, largely based on the skill of the player. In OP (and the peak in particular), the game's coin-flipping can make all of the difference. In earlier playthroughs the difference between an enemy staying in one place and moving a bit is a momentary inconvinence. In OP, it can rip away your chances of NOT having wasted the last half an hour on an unsucccessful run of the Peak. That one Marauder rolling away from you is entertaining and challenging at Lv10. At OP5, it can lead you to smashing your mouse in fury. tl;dr Loot is an even bigger PIA than before. Combined with the jolt of the accelerating difficulty and the fact that a number of character skills are renered WELL AND TRULY USELESS, combat in OP is painful to say the least. ---- People say BL2 was too easy. They say that UVHMII is a necessary part of the "BL2 Experience". To that I say, you can make the game harder if you turn of Badass Ranks and use low-tier gear. I do not think this was the right way to make BL2 more challenging. It made me pursue Pearls that have an infentesimal chance to drop. It told me to use a tiny number of Class Mods, restricting me to a limited set of playstyles. It told me to run through the same friggin' training gauntlet over and over again with little reward. To top it all off, the final boss only drops the UVHMI Pearls, almost all of which are useless by the time you get to OP8. If you actually read all that, I thank you for your time. I don't usually write like this but I felt it needed to be said. If you value your experience in BL2 please consider not buying this DLC. Spend some time at LV61, and if you TRULY feel that something is missing, buy this during a sale. Please, beware what this can do to your experience of the game. Don't become so wrapped up in the horror of the OP Levels. Just because they exist DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE ANY LESS OF A BORDERLANDS PLAYER FOR NOT PARTAKING IN THEM. I just wanted a Carnage :( EDIT: I hacked in the Pearls and only the Bekah was remotely worth it for an item of its level. The Carnage can probably be outdone by a green-rarity Hulk of the same level, the Godfinger is largely useless unless you're using B0re because of its low damage, and the Wanderlust is essentially a gag item posing as a Pearl.

  Recently I bought this DLC, and even though some people don't recommend it but it's kinda worth for me since I play with friends. The best thing is you can scale the enemy up to 10 levels in OP8 which is pretty amazing and more powerful gears to loot and increased the diffuculty, which is pretty fun i guess. Even though it makes you rage and dying for a s**t tons of times. IMO the only bad thing about this DLC is the separation from GOTY edition. I think 2k should included this DLC into the GOTY edition which paying for additional levels is pretty...meh...i guess. But truly hope they will included this DLC in the future so people will not pay additional for this. Everyone should get to OP8 difficulty, at least once.

  I strongly recommend not buying this DLC as it might ruin your Borderlands 2 experience. You don't even need to be lvl 72; being lvl 61 is enough to earn you 2 endcap skills. If you want to spend 5 bucks just to be able to level up to 72, it's up to you. The true reason I'm telling you not to get this DLC, is because of the Raid On Digistruct Peak. It is a trip to a rage and nerves hell. You'll have to make your way trough some of the most tough mobs in the game, but now theY REGENERATE HEALTH OMG!!!!!!!!1 In addition, any weapon you use [b]MUST[/b] match the current world level or it will become totally useless. Oh! and if you die you have to start all over again! Once you beat this challenge, you'll unlock 'Overpower levels', which basically raises the world level beyond 72, but you'll still remain a lvl 72 player with 'Overpowered' gear, which you obviously have to loot. You'll have to repeat this challenge up to 7 more times (everytime much more difficult than the previous one) in order to get to Overpower level 8 (Lvl 80) which is the max difficulty. And now is when the issues show: as overpower levels increase, enemies improve their health regeneration, to a point when they heal faster than you can DPS with most weapons that aren't legendaries or uniques. This means there's only a slight variety of weapons that are effective at overpower levels, turning some playstyles completely useless at this point. A peak run takes 30-60 minutes, imagine having to spend days farming for decent gear just to beat the peak in 1 hour (implying you don't die at the ridiculous amount of enemies that can kill you in 1 second), then having to go back farm because your current gear is now outdated. The experience running through the peak is also shit. You don't have actual fun at any point, as you have to concentrate on not making any major mistakes because you'll end up getting downed, and FFYL definitely won't save you most of the time. As for the enemies, expect the most tough/annoying variants of enemies to spawn (eg: rabid, ultimate badass, slagged); mini bosses like Bone Head, Scorch, The Four Assassins (absolute cancer); and some really powerful bosses like Dukino's Mom or Saturn. And if enemy health regeneration wasn't enough, there are Surveyors fucking everywhere. There are around 6-8 surveyors per stage, some of them Ultimate Badasses. As you may have experienced, killing surveyors is a pain in the ass, as they get really far from you, and fly behind buildings, until they finally fly towards you so you can shoot them. The only viable way to kill them is to strip their shield with a Chain Lightning or a shock sniper, then spend like 10 corrosive sniper ammo (assuming you're not using a Maliwan sniper) to finally destroy them; anyway Ultimate Badass Surveyors have a lot more health and they can almost one shot you with their shock blast, which is easy for them to hit because you don't walk around while sniping or aiming steadily at a small objective. I hope this convinces you that the Raid On Digistruct Peak isn't by any means a fun experience and that this whole DLC is totally unnecessary. A money grab. A placebo telling you that you're getting more Borderlands 2 content. If you read this far, thank you for your time. If you decide not to spend your money on this, remember: [b]THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU LESS OF A BORDERLANDS FAN[/b].

  I have tbought Borderlands 2 and the "Season Pass" only to discover that I can't get to max level. I won't be buying games which implement such DLCs practices anymore. They are just milking their customers.

  Whats not to like. More of everything. Just no new areas. Really only recommended for the long haul BL2 players. Most time sparing players will have hundreds of hours without this level increase. Though, why not have it. Right?
