Is there any other way to farm bosses with Gaige?
To farm a boss you have to quit and re-enter to game. Everytime you quit the game all of your anarchy stacks resets to 0. That makes farming bosses with Gaige a pain in the ass. Is there anything that can help?

To keep stacks. For example, pyro Pete. After killing him. To save walking all the way around, call the life down, then put yourself in fight for your life and get crushed. Your stacks don't go. Same for falling off a cliff while ffyl.
Then that way you can re-enter quicker

You cant keep stacks after you're dead or you quit the game.

Is that gaige only? Cause zer0 keeps sfacks if he dies.

If you wanna re-farm 1 specific boss? Sorry, you are probly out of luck. But if you don't mind general farming, you CAN keep stacks.

After a period of time, anything you killed naturally respawns. Somewhere between 15 to 30 minutes, I believe. So if you set a farm 'route' that takes that long or longer to complete, but you can consistently clear without dying, when you return to any specific target it should have respawned. Example route might be... Boom Bewm -> Flynt -> Terra -> Bunker

Ultimately notably slower than just enduring the constant stack loss if you only want a single targets loot, even if you farmed stacks at Sanctuary every save and quit, but it lets you farm a lot of stuff without losing all your stacks every few minutes.

If you face any real risk of death, then your most desired farm targets should go earlier in the route, or right after something easy to build stacks on. This way, if you do die, you can Save & Quit with no stack penalty, and instantly return to the big target.

I found a way to farm a single boss while having my most stacks all the time. There is simply no other way than using cheat engine. Simple enough. I'm hardly against cheating in any game and I never do but I consider this as maneuvering around poorly designed game mechanics. Because losing 400 stacks everytime I leave the game for whatever reason sucks as hell. Not only for farming, if I have to give a break or play something else I hesitate so much because of the fear of losing hard-earned 400 stacks. So I find out this solution to keep me playing Gaige.

Which bosses are you wanting to farm? Some do need Anarchy stacks, others, not so much.
The only time I pre-stack significantly with Gaige is for late OP Digistruct runs. OP5 + I never start them with less than 200.
Pyro Pete I farm for seraph crystals and do no stacking for each run. BNK-3R - No stacking needed. Warrior - no stacking. Hyperius - by the time you get there you should have decent stacks and from then on your stacks will just get higher, provided you kill him of course.
