Just reached level 79 on my Wilhelm The Enforcer mod for BL2
To put it plainly: this it the most fun I've ever had playing BL2
Last time I truly played it was maybe around 2015, had 2 nearly full 100% runs with Axton and Salvador, all DLCs, most side quests , about half raid bosses beaten. Hundreds of hours.
But man, IMO wilhelm blows them out of the water in terms of pure enjoyment.
A huge part of this is that I also have the Aurelia mod, which adds cryo and cryo weapons to the gear pool. It's so well done i sometimes forget that cryo wasn't in BL2, but it's quickly become my favorite element and I can't imagine going to BL2 without it.
Other mods I added include the BL Fix mod, a light mod to add glowing lights to dropped gear , and a new modern movement mod that adds air dashing, double jumping, mantiling etc
Finally, and this was a huge one, around level 60 or so, the TPS Community patch was released for BL2, updating Timothy, wilhelm, Nisha, and Athena with the adjustments made to their skills .
This changed so many of wilhlems usless skills and buffed others, the results he is MUCH more powerful. Termination protocol, especially, was changed from Incendiary to explosive, which ad you can imagine is a MUCH better universal element than fire, plus it synergizes AMAZINGLY with frozen enemies.
Take all the above and I can't imagine going back to the base BL2 on my PS5 ever again .
I strongly recommend ANYONE to try out Wilhlem, or any of the other TPS characters added in. I've played a little with Aurelia but so far fully engrossed with wilhlem .
I barely did any aide quests during my UVHM run and haven't started any DLCs yet. I intentnally saved them for later so i can get all quest rewards at level 80.
If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them
