Quick question about Playthrough 2.5

[BL1]

Hiya.

My friend and I are currently playing through DLC3 playthrough 2 at level 50ish, but we don't want to finish the armory and risk setting the level cap on the loot until we're max level. So my question is, does the "world" level continuously rise with your character's level during playthrough 2.5, or is it a one-time thing that permanently locks the world at whatever level you're at when you trigger it?

Edited for clarity.

Im somewhat confused as to which game you are asking about, but as you mentioned "Armory" im going to assume BL1. Yes PT2.5 scales with your level.

BL1 is the only game in the series with a PT2.5.

In BL2, we refer to the phase of True Vault Hunter Mode after defeating the Warrior but before starting UVHM as "PT2.5," despite the obvious differences between that and BL1's end game.

Yeah, it does not make for clear communication.

Well some people refer to UVHM as PT2.5.

2.5 sets the level at 50, as I understand it. I could be wrong though, might be a good idea to hit fifty then trigger 2.5. One thing to keep in mind, playthrough 2 cannot go above fifty (including 2.5) and you really, really, REALLY don't want to go into UVHM higher than 52-53, and then only if you have multiple level 49-50 legendaries or better.

2.5 scales with you. There is no UVHM in BL1

Awe. My mistake, didn't realize they were asking about BL1. Thanks for correcting me.
