Hey, so I recently finished off the UVHM storyline at around level 65, and wanted to get to level 72 as soon as possible to try for the OP levels. The only problem is that when I try to do the Bar Room Blitz mission (tier 2, not even tier 3), the Badass Enforcer enemies that are supposed to spawn spawn very rarely, if not, not at all. I went to TVHM to see if this problem occurred there and the Badass Enforcer enemies spawned very frequently there at all tiers.
Am I doing something wrong, or am I just too slow at killing the enemies? I tend to stay around their general spawn points around the back-room stairs.
Hmm, usually they only spawn for me after Iāve killed a good percentage of all the other miscreants. They also spawn in 3 places - both ādoorsā upstairs, and the door downstairs, so I tend to circle around, killing as I go, and they come out at various points through the fight. Finding the last one in time can often be a challenge though.
Are you actually doing the Barroom Brawl missions that Mr Torgue gives out from the machine or are you just running into the bar shooting it up? There are 5 of them that spawn from doing the Mr Torgue mission- if you just walk into the Bar and start shooting their spawn rate is more random. As Hattie said they do have specific spawn points and usually require that you kill off a few other patrons first. I usually use the back stairs to move quickly between the first and second floor while tossing out my best AoE grenades- Storm Fronts, Firestorms and Quasars can kill enemies on either floor because of their wide damage radiusā¦
@hattieinduni The problem is not the last Enforcer having trouble spawning, but just an Enforcer spawning in the first place. I could clear out the entire back room area and not have an Enforcer spawn, and the same goes with the upstairs area.
@Carlton_Slayer I am doing the tier 2 mission (so not even tier 3) of the Bar Room Blitz mission so that I get the experience reward, as well as the Torgue Token reward. Even though I have no trouble killing the enemies in the bar in UVHM, the spawns seem much less frequent than in TVHM, and I felt like I was killing the same, if not less, in TVHM. I have got a Bonus Package grenade in my inventory that I tried using, which can clear out most of an area, but again, the Enforcer still will not spawn.
The most I was able to spawn was three, and that was cutting time as well. I am not really sure what the problem is here. I clear out the back room with some grenades, and kill all of the enemies upstairs and it will be very rare that the Enforcer will actually spawn.
And you canāt complete the mission because they just donāt spawn? Thatās weird. I just tried the fight in UVHM, and they all spawned for me (this was tier 3), though only after Iād killed the others.
This only seems to be persistent in UVHM. I can level up to 72 by using the bar, but it will take a lot longer without the experience boost, not to mention Iād have to farm the Torgue Tokens in TVHM again.
I had the same thing happen to me in a co-op session a couple of weeks back, it was peculiar but we got normal spawns when we retried the mission.
Are you on console? The game occasionally starts getting a little odd if I leave a session up for extended periods using the resume feature on Xbone (what a godsend that is for Gaige), maybe try restarting the game?
@FunkJunkie I have been trying since last night when I got to the mission. I figured the same and tried all sorts of solutions, from retrying the mission to restarting the game. I have also configured my network settings so that only friends can join, but I suppose I can try changing that to private to see if anything can change from that.
@darla Oh, they are Badass Enforcers. What Iāve noticed is that they only spawn a good one or two minute into the mission, which is very annoying.
@kgk4569 The only problem here is that Iād have to farm the Norfleet more than twice; once for farming the Bar Room Blitz mission and then another for general gameplay at level 72, not to mention more Norfleet farming for OP levels.
I donāt suppose anyone else has alternative methods of farming? This mission seems a bit pointless to do without mission rewards.
A PGFG is more or less a Norfleet just with a single projectile as I understand it. The trouble with that is thereās not a great farm for it, youāre at the mercy of RNGā¦
I canāt speak much on other launchers as I donāt use them, but maybe a Storm Front would reach enemies that are trapped? Youād need some good elemental buffs to take down the enforcers without being able to slag first though
Edit: Frosty would be a way to at least chance into a PBFG
