Dogtown entrance

[icon_of_sin]

I just approached the Dogtown entrance where phantom liberty is supposed to start and had to fight my way through an insane number of enemies.
Also when I took control of turrets in the area they could not shoot.

Is this supposed to happen?

you cant actually get into dogtown until the DLC triggers, which doesnt happen until you reach a certain point in the main quest line. Have you received a phonecall from someone asking to meet you by the dogtown gate?

[Drahknon]

I did this exact thing. If you approach the area on foot, you can follow the sidewalk to the right of the entrance and as soon as you curve around to the right side, you'll be where you need to be.

[edited: Wobblyshrimp is also right! You'll get a story trigger before you can do anything there.]

Songbird needs to be involved with your initial entry into Dogtown.

As said before, you are not supposed to get into Dogtown unless invited by Songbird.

Iirc Songbird contacts you after the main storyline mission involving the Voodoo Boys.

You cannot start PL until songbird calls you. Which will only happen after you meet Alt.

If you have the dlc expansion Phantom liberty, songbird call you when you reach act 3.
If you enter in dogtown without the dlc, there is nothing inside.

After 'the call'...you can stealth your way past the guards at the gate. I would say that fighting your way in is a sub-optimal strategy.

i am at the point where you can start the DLC and have started it

but i had to defeat all of the guards, and a second lot that spawned when i got closer in order to reach songbird

I totally was not expecting that much of a fight

Yep, that's what I was talking about above. Next time, you can take the sidewalk along the right side of the gate to the fence and you won't aggro them right away. Then you can do the story scene and sneak into dogtown.

IIRC you have to sneak in at first, if you get spotted, yeah, it's a big fight.

I stayed hidden and went the back way through, IDK if there's other ways in.

After this though you'll get a fake passport so you don't have to do that everytime and you can just go through the "customs" check and they'll let you in.
