Digistruct Peak Challenge

The Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack Two: Digistruct Peak Challenge is an upcoming DLC pack for Borderlands 2 due for release on September 3rd, 2013.

It will increase the level cap to 72, but also introduces a new ranking system called "Overpower" levels. This creates an opportunity for players to fight enemies and collect loot rated up to level 80.

''"It truly is a very challenging area. I’m hoping that the fans are prepared for it and willing to take it one step at a time. It’s about learning the area and learning the encounters. Until you get to the higher ranks, when we start mixing it up and add the randomness." - ''Jason Reiss, Gearbox designer

The pack introduces a new area called Digistruct Peak a mountaintop training ground for the Crimson Raiders. Upon arrival, researcher-turned-freedom fighter Patricia Tannis is waiting to give you the rundown on what’s in store.

The introductory mission, which is balanced for a full team of four players, takes roughly an hour to complete and winds through a series of twisting mountain paths and open spaces, all of which function as battlegrounds in which you’ll meet the full rogue’s gallery of Borderlands 2 enemies.

At first, the types, numbers, and locations of each enemy you encounter is static, but an element of randomness is introduced as your Overpower level climbs higher.

As it was with the last UVHUP, there will be a second set of Pearlescent weapons, and those are:

New Legendary Class Mods will also be added to the UVHPU2

Overpower Levels
Even though the new cap is 72, the new ranking system allows enemies and loot to scale up to level 80. You’ll have to max out at the new cap first and get yourself to the earlier level cap bump’s third playthrough in order to benefit from the over-leveling in Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2.

Once the Digistruct Peak arena has been completed, and if you’re at level 72, you’ll unlock Overpower level 1. There are 8 overpower levels in total.

If the game is exited and a new game re-hosted - you’ll receive a prompt that will let you decide what Overpower level you wish to play at. The entire world is affected when you load up a game set to a certain Overpower level; enemies are more deadly, and they drop more powerful loot.

Your skill advancement still caps out at level 72, but the eight Overpower levels allow you to use this higher-level gear. Once you’ve unlocked all of the Overpower levels and enter a level 72 game, you’ll face monsters at level 80+ and find gear rated for level 80 that you can now use.
