Thanks to a preview of the upcoming Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2: Digistruct Peak DLC for Borderlands 2 from Digital Trends, it seems we can expect the DLC to arrive on September 3.
The UVHUP2
P DLC will raise the level cap to 72 and introduce some "Overpower" levels to fight enemies up to level 80.
Digistruct Peak itself is a new location that should take a group of four players roughly an hour to complete. It features a number of battleground type areas where you can take on a variety of enemies from the game. The challenge in this comes from the Overpower levels you can obtain.
The UVHUP2
P DLC will raise the level cap to 72 and introduce some "Overpower" levels to fight enemies up to level 80.Even though the new cap is 72, the new ranking system creates an opportunity for players to take on monsters and collect loot rated 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 enjoy the over-leveling in Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2. ”The idea there is you complete this arena and, if you’re at level 72, then you’ll unlock Overpower level 1,” Reiss explains. “You’ll exit the map and when you re-host the game, you’ll have a prompt that will let you decide what Overpower level you want to play at.”
The entire world is affected when you load up a game set to a certain Overpower level; monsters 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 jump into a max-level game, you’ll face monsters at level 80+ and find gear rated for level 80 that you can now use.
