Does difficulty scale?
As you level up does difficulty for previous missions scale up? I'm level 17 and want to go back and explore the moon and earth but not if it's gonna be insanely easy now. I replayed a moon mission and got some level 17 gear from it but couldn't really tell if it was easier or not. I want to help a friend with the Earth strike but we don't want it to just be me steamrolling through everything.
Also, is there locations on each planet that the missions don't take you to and that you have to just find in explore mode?

1 ReplyThe differences are marginal. Yeah you're much higher level, but you'll still take damage (admittedly less, but you can still be downed by a group of lv 3 enemies if you just rush in and let yourself get shot) Damage output against lower levels doesn't seem to increase. Low level fallen vandals still take 2 scout rifle head shots even tho I'm lvl 24. It seems like gaining lvls only helps you do full dmg against higher lvl enemies, not extra dmg to lower ones.

I actually find I have a harder time now on low level missions because of the limitations they put on your gear. My friend just started and his damage output is consistently higher than mine. I thought it was an anomaly at first, but running him through the levels, both my wife and I were shocked at the trouble we were having. It's not that it's really hard, just that we went in expecting to be badasses at level 24... we weren't. -
Yeah try having you and your buddies roll through the old Shattered Coast and face the Lvl5 boss near the cave by one of the Main story mission. We were all Lvl20+ and still had a hard time killing him
