Can anyone explain the enemy immune system properly?

I understand that some enemies come up immune when you are not dealing enough or the correct kind of damage. What I am puzzled with is that I came across and enemy that was coming up immune and a little later at a slightly higher level against the same enemy I could do damage with the SAME weapon. Is this correct? How come? Sorry if this is really obvious but I would just like to clear it up. In a different situation I came across and enemy with the ?? above their head and my friend said I wasn't high enough level to damage them. I kind of agreed but still went through my collection of hard hitting weapons i'd just acquired to test the water. No damage was done and it got me killed but I got to thinking even if I was a level 2 say and was able to wield a level 14 weapon (I know you can't) would it still not do damage?

  • my brothers favorite game is borderlands and he made me play it all the time with him so i know this one lol. the level difference between the enemy and you are subtracted then the damage each bullet from the weapon does is divided by that modifier. immune basically means you are doing 0 damage and resist means you are doing very low damage.

  • By any chance did you meet these enemies at the cosmodrome area? When I started the game I found a couple of hive enemies underground with the same level description as yours~ got completely wrecked of course over and over. Planning on going back now that I'm higher level to see if anythings changed. Really curious about this though.

    • If you look before the mission on the modifier it helps tell you what won't and will hurt them

      When enemies are higher level than you, there's a certain amount of damage reduction per level difference. If the difference in levels is too high, you do zero damage.
