Need help re-collecting a bugged journal

[Bentropy]

Somehow I bugged out the 'It Begins - Containment' #3 "Back Soon" journal found in Ocean Avenue. If anybody hasn't grabbed it yet I'd appreciate the assist.

Good idea, that might just work.

I had two journals bug out in my playthrough:
The Clean and Snatch #3 Micheal's
Echoes of Hope #15 Dinner is Served

Micheal's Note can still be collected in my game but is removed upon fast travel, while Hope's was supposed to be automatic and unmissable but somehow it's locked for me :S

[Bentropy]

I've seen posts about those two in particular while trying to find a fix. With any luck, maybe co-op works. Add me/send a message when you want to give it a shot.

Naw, my toon already has yours and I would assume yours already has mine - you'd need to find someone willing to make a new character, advance the story to the right part and then do it and vice versa... at least as far as I understand it

LOT of work for minimal payback

[=Axton=]

Are these missable or is it a bug in the game that prevents you from getting them? I'm trying to get them all too but haven't really followed a guide yet so I'm kind of new to it all in that regard.

I feel like there's a big patch coming with some fixes after their last news announcement.

For the most part you can pick them up any time, in my case it was a bug. I got killed right as I collected it, so it somehow both counted and didn't count that I picked it up. It didn't show up in my journal, and it was gone when I went back for it.

By what I have tired, coop games will not help with these glitched/missing journals entries nor will it help will any of your glitched achievements or stats.

On a more personal note, I am missing the following Journal, achievements, and incomplete game stats.

Journals;
Beyond the Door: #2-Moved to Ascension (supposed to be on a bed).
Echoes of Hope: #9-Submerge, #15-Dinner is served (automatic from story)

Achievements;
Anger Management: stuck on 21/50
I am the Resurrection: stuck on 4/5
Wilhelm: stuck on 2/15
Lawn and Order: Usually ends up having 15-21 zombies crawling in the grass. Yes, I am using that "special" shovel from the garden.

Stats;
Blueprints found: 96/99
Journals collected: 343/349 (I am only missing (glitched) 3 Journals)
Both Weapon Mod and Perk stats are, hopefully, referring to each unique type of weapon, else those 2 stats are also glitched for me as well.

Lastly, two of my weapons seems to go missing once and a while after coop games. I am sure its not due to anything I've done.

How did you manage to get 347 when my game only accounts for 346? According to the game, I am only missing 3 Journals.

i had to back track using other Quests which happen to go by them ..

i was amazed that journals were actually showing up again after i already had them ..
(at least i thought i already had them they were quest related)

but then i started paying closer attention to what i had and what the game said i should have
according to the logs ..

so i started pulling up guides on all logs /notes and journals ..

and simply went after what i didn't have ..

i got all journal entry's that way ..

(one play through)

however lobby stats have me only at 347 for 349 ..
(PS. some logs only show up at night -2 i believe)

~But i have them ALL

Update: I just stopped playing the game for 6 days and most of the above problems went away. Some game starts are also changed for no reason. I now only have 1 problematic achievement left, Anger Management.

It's really hard to tell if any achievements are bugged or not because, like most achievements, we generally don't know all the necessary criteries to make it/them pop!
