Is it possible to trigger level scaling at the very beginning of the game, through co-op techniques?
I know with co-op, a lower-level character can fight higher-level enemies than they usually would have access to, so-long as the host is the higher level.
I don't have access to my copy right now so I can't test this myself, but is it possible to host for someone that's never even started the first mission, bring them up to a higher level, like 6, and that way the partner's Welcome to Helios will have Level 6 enemies, loot, and maybe unlocked vendors?
Like how grinding to levels like 5 or 8 in the Station, means that Serenity's Waste is a higher level compared to regular progression, but this question is asking about achieving the effect for the tutorial section of the game.
Best Answer
Enemies and loot are tied to the mission level, and since Welcome to Helios is a level 1 mission you always find low level enemies and you receive a fixed reward ($22, 107 XP and a lousy Shield).
Missions only scale in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, so I don't think this will work.

How does level scaling work in bl3?
Level scaling means that enemy levels are scaled appropriately to the player. If your character is level 20, other enemies in the game will be around level 20 as well.Does Borderlands 2 have level scaling?
Enemies don't scale to your level in any part of Borderlands 2. However, they go to 50 after you have finished the main quest-line on TVHM. DLC enemies have a specified level range. They do not scale depending on your level but on the quest and area you are in.Does bl3 have level scaling?
Crew challenge enemies and rare spawns will scale to your level, though. However, if you want all enemies to scale to your Vault Hunter's level, you'll want to either play on True Vault Hunter Mode or some Mayhem level, as those will both cause enemies to scale to your level.How does Borderlands Co op work?
When player A reaches the missions they have already fully or partially completed through cooperative play, they will receive a prompt and have the option to either play through them again to gain extra experience and loot or to skip them completely and forge ahead.*WATCH THIS* Before You Begin Journey 2 / New Game Plus | Elden Ring
