How do you level up fast in TVHM?

You can use a level or two to farm some key pieces of equipment before entering UVHM at 50 (doing so later will make the game harder). Honestly, the fastest and most efficient way to level is to just play the campaign. Rush it in normal mode and get out by 29 - 30. Do it again with TVHM and get out by 49 - 50.
