It's mostly explained in these patch notes and this explanation: Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode (playthrough 3)Īs of a patch April 2013, there is also now an Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode or playthrough 3, which is scaled to your level and much harder. Note, without the UVHM DLC that it's still important to cap out your level, not just get to playthrough 2.5 before getting rewards, but as of right now the max level without the UVHM DLC is still 50, and it's hard not to be level 50 by the time you complete the second playthrough. Of course if the reward is green, you can go ahead and do it because the reward is junk anyway. Side quests scale to when you start the mission so don't take them too early, if you want a level 50 reward, wait until you've finished the main quest. Quest rewards scale to your level too this is why it's important not to start certain side quests until playthrough 2.5, otherwise you'll miss out on the highest level rewards. Loot scales to within a couple levels most drops will be level 49 or 50. This is known as 'playthrough 2.5' as it was in Borderlands 1. Once you beat playthrough two, enemies scale to within 3 levels of you some weak enemies (like Skag Pups) may be level 48, most enemies will be level 49-51, bosses will often be level 52, and occasionally enemies will even be 53. Playthrough 2 is unlocked simply by beating Playthrough 1, and is identical to playthrough 1 until completion except with higher level requirements, higher level enemies and generally harder enemies. True Vault Hunter Mode (playthrough 2-2.5) Playthrough 3 is new and scales to your level from the start.

The system is mostly the same as it was in Borderlands 1: Beating playthrough one does nothing except unlock playthrough two ('True Vault Hunter Mode'), beating playthrough 2 scales enemies and rewards to your level, unlocking playthrough 3 (if you're level 50, I believe).
