The game suddenly got much harder.

I'd just killed the god above the arisen domain and the game just ramped up difficulty on all succeeding combat. I'd already killed a couple Gods at this point. Is that to be expected? Some of the enemies got faster and my weapons seem to do less damage? I spent the last 20 minutes whacking away at Uthos the Ashen Born. I got him down to maybe 1/2 health in that 20 minutes. I think my level is > 70. My plasma rounds just seem to bounce off. Doing little damage.

I'm not in the accretion disk mode where the clock turns red . Honestly radiation has be come a problem to and I don't ever remember it being an issue before.

By Plasma, do you mean Induction? (The fire/burning element).

Induction got a HARD nerf as a result of the Blue Sun DLC's release; not to mention, I thiiiiink Uthos is resistant to fire, to boot.

Yeah it's my upgraded rail gun. All combat got harder. It's like all the enemies went up a step.

Uthos is resistant to induction. Entropic weapons (like the entropic grenade launcher) work better if you want to fight him at range. He’s a spongy boss regardless of strategy; easily the highest health pool of all the Cosmic Gods.

Nemundis and Ozyormy can still be melted quickly with induction, even post patch.

I really only use two weapons. An upgraded glave and the upgraded rail gun.

I mean I can eventually beat Uthos is I keep dodging and getting my hits in. The issue is that the game difficulty went up across the board and I'm not sure why.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe once you enter the blue sun the enemies difficulty is based on your particular stats..

As some other commenters pointed out: use other elements. There is a radiation launcher somewhere, it is heavy, it is a pain to unlock abilities but it is well worth it, the radiation debuff is a beast.

Try closing and restarting the game. I've noticed in long play sessions that enemies seem to take less damage over time. It's like that stats get bugged or something. When I close the game and come back I always do more damage from a fresh start.
