Bolter tissue

[Maxmind]

are bolters supposed to be on every marked location? i cant seem to find any, at any location

[Manticore]

Yes they are, you suppose to find them at night only (except in the following), there is a blue mark on your mini-map if they appear..
If you can't find any meaning you made too much noise so Bolters ran away i guess..

[Maxmind]

yeah ive seen the blue icons eartlier when i was doing quests, but now when i about to farm them i dont see the blue icons. idk. probably bugged. nad yes im doing it at night

[Kunovega]

Only at night, and there's usually only one at each, and it will run away if detects you before you find it. Once you know how to stealth up on them they are easy to farm. Use a safe house near a bolter location to transition to night, kill it, safehouse, repeat. You can farm another endlessly,as quickly as you can cycle the night to repeat, which is about every 20 seconds if you're quick and not far from a bolter location

idk. im trying to be sneeky but they are not there,

[Maxmind]

just now, i started at a close safehouse, did one grapple so i could see the feeding ground. i see the corpse. but no bolter

[Maxmind]

ok nvm, it seems it was bugged, i just had to restart the game

[Poppi !!]

Camo is a great tool for hunting Bolters...just tossing that in.

[Maxmind]

yeah i know. i was just having trouble finding any bolters at all. they were bugged. its fine now. just had to restart the game

Correction: Bolter's do pop up during the day time on occasion. I know because I kill them during the day time.

There is a little building in the northeastern area near to a gas station which has a bolter freeding grounds up close. You can farm there but sometimes the bolter doesn't drop anything. I'm presumably thinking there's some sort of cooldown thingy that prevents you from farming a lot.

Unless they are bugging out, which I have not seen, it is just due to random drops. Similarly, the skill called "Nimble Hands" can even cause double drops of Bolter Tissue.

there is a location in slums where it appears in the SAME spot every night
simply go to said location and sleep at the bed (its near a safe spot although cant remember which but may update post)
then wake up and go to the fence and jump on it then get a crossbow out and headshot it then run to it and loot tissue then run back and sleep 2 times making it night again, and repeat
location is towards the bottom of the map where the quarantine zone is
right above it is the safe space where you can sleep and next to that is a bolter location as seen on the map

Didn't know about that. Interesting.

Yeah Lar Dass;

That Bolster spawn point is directly across the street from the safe zone near the Bazaar RR tracks ( like 20 yards away ).

That farming method is by far the easiest and most convenient ~ especially with the " Nimble Hands " perk.
