How do playthroughs work in Borderlands 2? [duplicate]

I've been looking around a lot, asking friends etc. about how the playthrough system specifically works in Borderlands 2 I am completely new to the franchise but have a decent idea of how things work.

I simply ask what specifically happens/changes in each playthrough , such as if gear will level up with you, at what points gear levels to you and so on. I may end up asking a few questions too. (Don't take it to heart about your skill at explaining things, I'm a slow learner :P).

P.S Bear in mind this is the Handsome Collection, playing on PS4. I will have all DLCs.

On each higher level you play the game the enemies will be harder. Some enemy types just appear on the higher levels though. You will need to play the game 3 times. After that you can go to digistruct peak to make your so called overpower runs. Each run takes around 30-120 minutes and will award you with the next higher overpower rank - if you pass it. Each overpower run will be harder, longer, with more enemies and enemietypes in more arenas.

The main goal is to get better stuff each playthrough. Sometimes you need to grind some enemies to get a special loot (if you like) or just to get some xp to get to the next level.

Hopefully this will help you.
