Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Players Are Getting Gear With Level Requirements Higher Than the Cap

gamerant.com:

The loot drops in the latest Borderlands spinoff, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, are some of the primary things that draw players from location to location, especially through the late-game. However, some players starting to dive into the endgame content are finding gear drops that are just out of reach of the standard requirements of even the best Legendary Weapons in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands.

Several players have begun to share their experiences of these unequipable weapons in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands across social media, with a number of these post finding traction on the game's subreddit. The results have players complaining about finding gear that can't be equipped, as well as speculating on if developer Gearbox might be planning to update the game at a steadier pace than other games in its catalogue.

According to these reports from players, this endgame gear has been dropping with level requirements above the current level cap of 40 in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. This means that no matter how much players continue to grind, they'll never be able to equip any of the gear they are finding, since the requirements put them just beyond the limits the game allows. So, no matter how impressive Tiny Tina's Wonderlands' strongest weapons might be, the players running into the over-leveled variants won't be able to try them out for themselves.

Some players have taken this to be an annoying glitch, essentially dropping loot that can't be used in the current build of the game that caps levels at 40. While some glitches can work in the players' favor, like Tiny Tina's Wonderlands' infinite skeleton keys, this one is only causing frustration among the fan base.
