Upon reaching level 72 and the completion of the Digistruct Peak arena in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, Overpower Level 1 will unlock.

You must be level 72 when you finished the Digistruct Peak gauntlet (the mission A/More History of Simulated Violence) to unlock Overpower Level 1.

Once you reach level 72 and complete the Digistruct Peak arena, you’ll unlock Overpower Level 1. To access the additional Overpower levels, you must exit the game and reload. Upon re-starting the game, you’ll receive a prompt that will let you decide what Overpower level you wish to play at.

Every time you play through the Digistruct arena at the highest available level, you will unlock the next Overpower level. There are 8 Overpower levels in total, meaning the arena must be completed at least 7 times in order to reach the maximum level at Overpower level 8.
