The problem with BL2 is that you're expected to grind bosses/areas 
forever (or have someone hand you one in multiplayer) to get just the 
right weapon etc.  I too turned on cheats, but it was to increase the 
drop rates of the rarer weapons - I set all rarities to the same drop 
rate, still wasn't really enough, so I increased the number of drops 
too.  I personally consider it more a fix than a cheat.  I didn't get 
anything I couldn't have without grinding for thousands of hours

There were only two bosses I never completed, the raid boss at the end 
of Tiny Tina's and the raid boss at the end of Hammerlock's.
