Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode

[SteeleTheShow]

Since there are orokin vaults in the game, this seems like a fitting title given the source of the idea.

 

What if once you finished the solar map and reached a certain mastery level you could start over in the solar system and fight through each planet again. The advantage being that you now have a goal to work towards, there is a bonus to rare drop rates, the enemies are higher level and offer immediately difficult game play. 

 

This idea is, of course, taken from Borderlands.

The only issue I could see is that other players, who have not yet reached this Ultimate mode, would not be able to play with you naturally through PUGs. I myself am a frequent PUG player (they aren't so bad!), however I'm also afraid that enemy power levels will be over 9000. We certainly don't want a repeat of the old Orokin Void levelling system.

 

Those Level 160 Heavy Gunners still scare me.

 

Instead of starting over, why not make it like a "Badlands" system where you unlock extra "off-the-grid" areas to explore? I'm saying Badlands because this is as close as I could think of to your suggestion. A system that would allow you to do those lower-leveled missions (for whatever reason), while still having endgame potential.

 

Or, in line with your idea, make it so that you can "switch" between the Ultimate Vault Hunter mode and normal mode.
