Josie Byte / Franco Firewall randomly appearing? + Other bugs

[cronotwix]

I just started playing Borderlands 3 a few days ago and it seems, as opposed to the other Borderland games, quite buggy. Not sure if all this is intended, but it seems buggy to me?

1. Josie Byte just appears all the time in random fights. I must have killed her over five times now at random places along the story?

2. Also, Franco Firewall appeared somewhere, at the time I thought he was just a normal badass mob, but after reading I realized he is a boss somewhere. He dropped the legendary OPQ system, a ridiculously overpowered weapon that made me breeze through the game since. Got it at level 12 or so and at level 17 it still makes me one-shot mobs and kill bosses in few seconds. Ruins the experience tbh.

3. When mobs die, they spawn new mobs with this teleportation grenade device. But the spawned mobs are of another faction? Don't really get why this happens.

4. Some of the mobs have wrong names. I have seen multiple different mobs with the same name that obviously isn't the intended one.

5. Mobs not moving / Appearing underground.

I could cope with these bugs, even if they are annoying. Getting the OPQ system from a bug and breezing through the game feels like cheating though - it ruins the experience for me. Any opinons? Aren't there some fixes out, the game is almost a year old by now?

Carel event is on until June 6 if I am not mistaken.

That means:

- Every ennemy has a chance to spawn up to 3 cartle members on death
- Ennemies spawn cartel members in teh same family, if you fight robots cartel members will be robots
- Named ennemies like Josie Byte or Franco Firewall are Cartel bosses and havea smaller chance to spawn one ennemy death but will have the proper ennemy model.

I have no clue about ennemies apperaing underground, never happened to me so far. You can disable the event on main menu.

O.P.Q. is indeed an OP gun.

ahh, I get it. So all of this is intended. It just seems out of place tbh, without any background story. I am barely scratching the main story so this confused me.

Thanks for that.

in the main game if you see enemies with neon shades and shoulderpads they will spawn cartel members, if you kill enough of them an underboss spawns with them, i.e josie byte/franco firewall.

there are challenges associated with some of the underbosses, franco firewall is one of them.

if you don't want them to spawn you can disable the cartel event in the title screen menus.

You can disable Cartel event in main menu.

If using a certain gun kills the fun, what's stopping you from not using it?
