Villa Ultraviolet Gates

[ghostlyfoxx]

So, last night I was playing with my boyfriend, and we were doing the Cartel thing just fine, but when we got to Revenge of the Cartels II the Revengening, the gates wouldn't open. We had already killed Joey about 4 times, not really struggling with any of that. Even after retrieving the decoder rings, the second set of gates would not open.

Even more, the area we're supposed to clear was miles ahead of where we could access, and I'm just not sure if there's something we're missing or if our game is bugged, or what? It's kind of lame because we physically cannot continue with the event.

Every time you turn in the quest for killing joey, you have to go back to another map and begin collecting cartel stuff again. After collecting 30ish "stuffs" you can open the gates once more.

We did though, that's the thing. The first gates with the guys guarding it and the code were opened. It's the second set of gates.

From my experience there have always been a few waves of enemies followed by a "boss" just before the mansion doors. Make sure you guys clear all enemies and dispatch said "boss". This should trigger/open the doors and grant you access to the interior of the mansion, I think.. xD

No, no that's the thing. We can't even get to the mansion doors. We can access the bridge which gives the first wave of enemies, and then once you finish that wave, the second gates should open. They don't. So instead, there's a large blue circle saying that we need to clear an area we cannot access.

I just ran through the whole map now and at every "gate" or similar obstacle, (even inside the mansion interior/exterior), I had to dispatch some waves of enemies accompanied by a particular "boss" or "badass" in order for gates or doors to open. Regarding your problem: my only guess is that some random enemy or enemy of importance did not spawn into the game correctly or just plainly didnt spawn at all.

It worked when I hosted, but on his end it won't work. He said that it's acknowledging that the portion we need to clear is cleared, but the gates are refusing to open. Do you know if doing another mission may bug it out? For instance, we went to do Killavolts mission again, then went back to the villa (only did so cause of the cartel members) and that's when the door didn't open.

You probably have an enemy somewhere either not spawning or stuck in the decor or invisible...
It happens...

Just leave and reload

We did. Several times. We even verified our files, turned off the event, tried it the next day. Nothing is working.

I think that's a bug (duh). Maybe try submitting a ticket here: https://support.2k.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000889214

We did. Do you know the wait time on the response? I hope not too long since the event is sort of limited, month or not.

Unfortunately, I don't know what the wait time is.

I remember though that

1) the first time I was in the mansion, I could not get to the mask itself as one of the mini-bosses (Flesh-Slap) despawned after he chased me out of the mansion. I died, couldn't find him afterwards, and the area wasn't marked as cleared.

2) I restarted and cleared everything again, and this time everything was ok and I got the mask. I stopped just before the final fight as it was getting late. The next day, I thought I could just run all the way to the final fight (the destination marker was way ahead in the mansion), but the gates wouldn't open until I cleared the mobs.

Combining 1 and 2, I'm wondering if there were enemies who despawned / glitched out for some reason (e.g. I had a legendary fall onto the water beside the bridge out of reach), and since they were necessary for the gates to open, the latter do not?

Is there a way to completely restart?

Feed Maurice to the pigs.

J/k I do not know, it'll help if the quest can be failed and gotten again from Maurice somehow. If you deactivate the Cartel content, restart then reactivate it, will it restart the quest?

That doesn't work unfortunately. We've tried it. The only possible thing I can even think that might have bugged it was that we did another mission while we were gathering the decoder rings. I don't know though. It works when I host, but not when he hosts.

Facing the same issue. The gates are locked even though the monitor to the right of them has a green tick to say the password has been entered correctly. This is the only thread I have found online for this bug. Any progress on the issue?
