Borderlands – How to unlock weapon slots in Pre-Sequel

The main difference that you will notice is the inclusion of Tiny Tina into Athena's narration of the story. The enemies will of course be scaled up based on the area that you are playing in (scaled to your level in UVHM) and some will have shields or armour now. The loot will be of higher quality but RNG is RNG, i have found the easiest way to get a legendary you want is just by farming the sentinel or Iwajira for a slightly higher chance of a legendary that you don't want, then hitting the grinder. on the quest side of things the jumps in levels between the quest are a fair bit steeper than in BL2 and you will need to do side quests or farming bosses instead of simply relying on quests alone to level up. When it says level up higher, it means you will level up faster than in the first play through as you can level up past the recommended level (if you enjoy killing enemies for a measly 1xp. That is about it for TVHM.

Now regardless of game mode (multi or singleplayer) you will unlock the True Vault Hunter Mode after you've handed in the final story quest to Jack. Maybe you've just missed the popup window that informed you about it but it should be there.

Now remember you won't just be in the TVHM just like that. To activate it you will have to go to the Character selection screen and chose a character. Then you will be asked in what gamemode you want to play the game. It's important that you should try to get to level 28 first before you start with TVHM. While it's certainly possible to be successful at 26 or 27, the enemies are really a lot stronger than in normal mode so keep that in mind while playing.
