Another question on Guns. It seems there are no Hyperion machinegun or rocket launcher. Can someone confirm or deny?
Same lacking shield and grenade from hyperion.

And new game version so trainer need to be upgraded which will soon be done

No Torgue Sniper rifle! Guess that explains why I haven't found one that fires explosive rounds!

Sorry to hijack, but I have similar question. I used the 'add XP' option on the trainer to boost myself up to level 20, so the golden chest would release elemental weapons that I needed to complete the weapons training in Sanctuary.

Now, everyone still seems to be dropping weapons & chests seem to only have thing equivalent to what I was getting when I started boosting at about level 9/10. Is that normal?

probably just need to leave sanctuary and come back because the chest probaly doesnt expect you to do alot of leveling up while your there since theres nothing to kill.

If you boost your level, it won't really change what enemies are dropping, because while it scales for the most part, loot and drops on average will be the same level or lower than your current level (at the time you started the quest). Upping your level will really only effect the golden chest.

That is correct, the golden chest will give you weapons of whatever level you are at......period. You want, say, level 40 weapons......ya gotta be level 40 for the golden chest to spit them out.

It's all in the......whoops!

The reason world drops and such are lower level for those adding levels or exp is because the game isn't scaled. Similar to Borderlands 1, first playthrough is 1-30ish and the second finishes to 50.

The golden chest does in fact scale. It scales to the level you are when opening it.

The game ONLY scales once, ever, and that is when you complete TVHM (playthrough 2), it will scale all areas to 50. At that point, then yes, mobs drop loot accordingly.
