Well if you are playing it in treasure vault hunter mode,your going have to change the run and gun method to a more, subdued approach. For example, instead of running into a town or village and ultimately giving the reconstructor yet another wad of cash, back off and try to pick off as many as you can from a distance. Yes, the AI has more muscle,armor and bullets in the 2nd playthrough.Gotta friend to play with?
TVHM mode is harder. It's also skewed towards cooping, so find some budz and take them on en'mass. I'm just about done with PT1, i just have OCD about doing all the side quests and bad ass challenges which slows me down lol.... But that's something you might want to spend some time doing, running thru PT1 and focusing on bad ass challenges and rank to give you a bit more power in TVHM.
TVHM on playthrough 2 is VERY punishing at first because you are used to basically running and gunning and never dying in the first playthrough. At first I thought it was ridiculous, Flint killed me like 10 times. I was ready to pack it in, but I kept at it and things got easier. The main key is to not rush in, take your time, let your shields recharge and have good gear. I just finished playthrough 2 , it was hard but way more challenging and rewarding. I swear the slags especially the rabid slags gave me more trouble than bosses. They are brutal!
It is all about the gear. In pt1 I could get away with using a gear that from 2 or 3 levels prior but in tvhm it is not possible or at least it is hard. Upgrade, use a golden key, hit up moxie and/or the best way, hit the slots. It is harder but I thought it was more fun. Makes you really look closely on how you have specced your character and etc.
