What's level-scaled in the game?
I've got LV6 Kraggon Pebbles in Serenity's Waste and entered it as a LV5 Doppelganger.
The loot inside the chest of the quest Oz Kit location was, on two different occasions, LV5 Grenade Mods (Green, White, White), and 3 LV5 White Oz Kits.
Also, enemies and rocks seem to be dropping moonstones at an elevated rate. I found a 4 Moonstone chunk inside a rock, and a Kraggon Pebble dropped one too.

It seems like the level for Elpis is set at whatever you enter Serenity's Waste as, and everything gets level-ups after killing Red Belly, or completing the related mission.
But I'm not sure if that causes new level-scaling or just a level increase to 10.
Stanton's Liver seems to level-scale on entry... Or something. The level seems to be indicated by the first Cryo Vine in the area. I can tell it's based on something after arriving on Elpis, but not sure what. It doesn't seem like (Deadlift Kill Level? Chapter 3 Trigger Level? Concordia or Triton Flats entry level?) -2...
Might just me being wrong on my levels on entering Elpis. It might just be [that] + 5. And level-scaling seems to be by ranges. LV6 Wilheim entering Serenity's Waste still seems to be LV5 stuff. LV5 Loot, and Phonic, etc.
