Unless you go through the door into the area where Midge Mong is. I've had the game start me out on either side of that door after saving previously. It's not as bad about that after you move on from Southern Shelf, which is more of a tutorial area.

What character are you using? After you get some decent gear, you will tear through enemies on your way to Captain Flynt so don't get discouraged, Minion.

Snipers are very powerful at levels 1-50 but you can't carry much ammo even with sniper ammo capacity maxed out. Torgue shotguns like the Ravager or Hulk are very effective at close range, especially in the first playthrough. Grenades are also very powerful in levels 1-50 and you find lots of them in ammo lockers so don't bother trying to conserve them.

On rare occasions, Boom Bewm drops the legendary "Bonus Package" grenade mod, which is insanely powerful. Look for the orange light in their loot piles.
