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 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.

The Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack Two: Digistruct Peak Challenge is a DLC pack for Borderlands 2 released on September 3rd, 2013. It is not included in the season pass and is priced at $4.99/£3.99

It increases 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.

New Content

"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 encountered is static, but an element of randomness is introduced as Overpower level climbs higher.

Overpower Levels

Digistruct-box-art-325x337

Even though the new cap is 72, the new ranking system allows enemies and loot to scale up to level 80.

The entire world is affected when the game is set to a certain Overpower level; enemies are more deadly, and they drop more powerful loot. Skill advancement still caps out at level 72, but Overpower levels allow higher-level gear. Once all of the Overpower levels are unlocked and a level 72 game is started, enemies will appear at level 80+, and gear rated for level 80 can be used.

How to Overpower

Upon reaching level 72 and the completion of the Digistruct Peak arena in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, Overpower Level 1 unlocks. To access the additional Overpower levels, players must exit the game and reload. Upon re-starting the game, a prompt appears that will offer options which Overpower level is desired.

Every time players play through the Digistruct arena at the highest available level, they will unlock the next Overpower level. There are 8 Overpower levels in total, meaning the arena must be completed at least 7 times in order to reach the maximum level at Overpower level 8.

In multiplayer games, players at a lower Overpower level cannot inherit levels gained by the host of the game, if the host completes a higher arena challenge. For example, if the host is Overpower level 5 and completes an arena with other players who are at Overpower level 2, only the host will rank up to Overpower level 6. The rest of the team will remain at Overpower level 2, because they are required to complete the earlier power levels.

If the host and any additional players are at the same Overpower level when a round is started, they will all rank up to the next Overpower level once the arena is completed. The table below describes the effective level that game scales enemies to, when you reach a particular Overpower level:

Overpower Level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Effective Level 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80

Damage Reduction

As additional Overpower levels are gained, enemies will generally begin to spawn at higher levels. These enemies receive a passive damage reduction that is based upon how many levels they outrank playable characters. Damage reduction simply means they receive less damage from weapons and powers than they normally would. The exact percentages are expressed in the table below:

Levels above you +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7 +8 +9 +10 +11 +20
Damage Reduction 10% 20% 30% 40% 45% 50% 55% 60% 65% 70% 99.2%

For example, at level 72 and Overpower level 8, weapons will deal 10% less damage against a level 74 enemy or 55% less damage against a level 80 enemy.

Generally, most regular enemies will cap at around 82, but there are a few exceptions to this. The Ancient Dragons of Destruction, Dexiduous the Invincible, and Vermivorous the Invincible can reach level 83, which grants them 70% damage reduction. Bridget Hodunk and Colin Zaford  cap out at level 85, making them the highest possible level among bosses.

Standard goliath enemies can level up to a maximum of 84 upon reaching GOD-liath status. The Iron GOD, a max level Golem, can reach level 92 - the highest in game. This grants him a staggering 99.2% damage reduction which means weapons will only deal 0.8% of their actual damage against them.

Weapons

As with the first upgrade pack, there are a second set of pearlescent weapons to find:

Name of Weapon Type of Weapon Manufacturer Red Text Flavor + Effect
Carnage Shotgun Torgue huh. It shoots rockets. – Massively increased damage. Reduced projectile count & increased ammo cost. Projectiles imitate Torgue rockets.
Wanderlust E-tech Pistol Maliwan You never know until you go. – Minimal accuracy (Usually 1.0). Increased magazine size. Decreased reload speed. Shoots ricocheting homing darts that explode on contact with enemy.
Bekah Assault Rifle Jakobs Shoot them in the face. Twice. – Fires a slow moving projectile. After a set time, projectile will split into three more that spread in a horizontal pattern at an increasing speed.
Godfinger Sniper Rifle Jakobs Such a Cod Finger. – Increased weapon zoom. Decreased rate of fire. Projectiles penetrate multiple targets, similar to B0re.

Class Mods

New Legendary class mods are also added to the Digistruct Peak Challenge, and can be dropped from Tubby enemies:
