Honestly, it sounds like you're playing it wrong. No seriously. Enemies scale to you, unless it's something like Terrormorphous or something like that. What level are you? What character? What perks are you running on your 'super'? (sorry, don't know what else to call it) Are you leveling up your perks on your baddass points? Are you using guns, shields, grenades, mods, that are up to your level? Are you upgrading you backpack size, number of guns you can run, ammo and grenades you can carry? Do you know how to do this? Are you using the elemental guns and grenades to their strengths on enemies weak to them? Are you alternating slag to the element that hurts that enemy? Do you have a high powered sniper rifle? (does not mean elemental, just high alpha) Or are you just trying to Rambo your way through the game and not playing conservatively when it is necessary? It really isn't a difficult game, unless you're impatient or you are trying to over use things that you should have either put in your vault or dropped. Also, I saw posts about Gold Keys. If you have a facebook or twtiier account, they give out Gold Key codes on there weekly. Sign up, collect the keys, but USE THEM SPARINGLY if you are low level. The Gold Chests give out great gear, but it is at the level you are at. Once you level past it, they're worthless. Save the keys for when you are nearly maxed out. I had like 78 or something when I came back to the DLC. Since beating it, I opened the chest about 45 times and got some really awesome things, and gave many to my son because I didn't or couldn't keep or use them all. The ones neither wanted, we sold to the vending machines for more money.
