I am convinced that Pete will give me every single legendary other than a few obvious ones like the norfleet. I have been hitting him solo on the 4 player setting. Even at 1 player he drops a lot. I should start trying trying to get into the treasure room though.

The evil smasher (quest reward) has a chance to have 10x power. If you reload, switch to another weapon and switch back immediately, It will power up almost every time. That effect stacks and, most importantly, it applies to all of your other weapons as well. You can easily have an infinity pistol firing a hundred bullets each time. I usually use a sand hawk to take down his shield and switch to a baby maker or a pistol to finish him off. I have read about people powering up their guns to insane amounts, but I just power mine up slightly. Then I let the elevator come down on my head so I don't have to use eridium to respawn him, don't have to wait for the elevator to get back down and I don't have to reset to 4 players each time.
He is streaky. There have been times when I get nothing in 20 runs and times when he gives one or two legendaries each time. But at most it is 2 or 3 minutes start to finish. I've been selling legendaries in the vending machines.

I would try it again. I am on a PC, but it I am almost certain it works on every platform (per the forums). The key is to just keep repeating the keystrokes. For me if the evil smasher gun is in slot 2, I hit "R,3,2" again and again. It just takes about 30 seconds to get the guns powered up. When I start hearing the explosions each time I just keep repeating and checking the ammo counts on the guns in my other slots to see where I am at. The evil smasher never reloads. The effect happens at the begining of the reload. When I switch to slot 3 it stops the reload. I switch back to slot 2 before the slot 3 gun reloads. It sounds more complicated than it is.
If I am farming Pete I only have to do that once. That is another advantage of letting the evelvator kill me rather than saving and quitting. Of course at some point the floor gets so filled with crystals and loot that I have no hope of finding a legendary so then I have to restart.

I have been playing Borderlands 2 solo. What is the best way to get the best guns? Also I finished the game once and am only level 36. Is that about right or am I missing something else to do. Thanks guys!

That's about right for finishing playthrough 1, all of us were around that level. The best way to get the best guns is to farm enemies that drop them. If you're talking orange (the rarest) loot, here is a wiki drop list of who drops what: http://www.bl2wiki.com/Legendary_Gear . There should be a link in there for lists of purple and blue loot, not as rare but a lot of them have flavor (red text) in their description which gives them special abilities. It may take quite a few kills to get them. If you want the guns you get to be level 50, beating playthrough 2 to get every enemy in the game to level 50 will be necessary. If not, just trying to get them on PT 2 will get you some pretty beastly guns.
