I've beaten TVHM and farmed a lot and did quite a few side quests after that.

Now I'm at level 55 with most of my weapons at level 50 since this is the cap at TVHM.

If I enter UVHM now, would I be screwed because the enemies scale to my current level? My gear is only level 50 now.

TVHM is very easy for me now. I can even drop the warrior in a minute or two. The moment he spawns I can blast half his health away with my level 49 sniper rifle.

You can just spend some gold keys on the chest in Sanctuary and you'll most likely get stuff that can get things going in UVHM.

They will be L50 as well in True. And it will take time to reach Sanctuary in Ultimate.

The loot chest is scaled to whichever level your character is at. I'm level 55 so I got level 55 gear from it even though TVHM is capped at 50.

Key chest always gives gear of your current level.

I haven't used golden keys in years, but I'm pretty sure that they were capped to L50 in TVHM way back when.

It always caps to your level, but there is one thing that you need to note.

If you are in 1st playthrough maximum level there is 30 for everything, so if you are level 35 and you open that chest it will give you level 30 weapons, same if you enter DLCs they will be max lvl 30, so you need to do this on 2nd Playthrough to get weapons from lvl 30-50 according to your level.

If you are in 2nd Playthrough(TVHM) then even if you are level 55 all things will be maximum level 50, so to get lvl 55 weapons from chest you need to go to 3rd Playthrough(UVHM), also in UVHM everything caps to your level without problems like in previous playthroughs, and if you have the UVHM Upgrade 2 DLC then you can continue leveling up to 72 not just to 61, but without having to beat game again for fourth time.

So just what I was saying, Golden Key chest is capped.

I just tested it and I got level 72 weapons with my level 72 Mechromancer, and I remember I was getting stuff according to my level when I was 60 something with her.

Well or maybe you meant same thing as I with "Golden Key chest is capped.",

You NEED a slag gun for ultimate, keep that in mind. It's pretty damn awful without one.

I know. I have the Slagga level 50. It's good enough since it's for slagging and not killing anyway.

And my Siren phase lock isn't as effective as the slag SMG anymore. Up to PT 2.5 the phase lock was ridiculously OP.

A double penetrating unkempt herald is a very, very nice thing to have for uvhm too btw, if you can get your hands on one.

You might have a bit of trouble but still should manage to make your way to the big city in the sky,well at the sky later anyhow lol

It would be easier if the guns where closer to your level,but i did the same thing you did and made it just fine,just took me longer as it was harder to kill stuff so i died more,just make sure to all the mission you can before you go to Sanctuary so when you use gold keys you can at least get some weapons at your level.

I hope you did save some keys and not waste them all,if so maybe find someone who has keys they will share.

Anyhow your not screwed it will just be a bit harder,you can also find some friends to get you there that around your level.

You shouldn't have too many issues until you reach cap and try to go for OP levels. Then you may have to re-gear every second levelโ€ฆ
If you are stuck, you can always just farm the Torgue DLC for XP and tokens/guns. :)
