Act II - Hijack Gas Barge Tower - Lazy Developers or Invisible Enemy Bug?

[Xenolithium]

I for the life of me, cannot find or shoot who ever it is shooting the Boomshot turrets. I can Mark them, but when I zoom in...guess what I see...A turret moving AND Firing on its own accord.

Would be nice if there was an enemy there, that I could shoot rather than get instantly killed by Casper and his Boomshot turret.

I mark it, and Marcus says "GUARD!" but alas, nothing... I see the marker move along the barge from one side to the other...but no 'Guard'

[Nineteenth Hour]

The guards are dropping from the ropes.

Anyway, you're supposed to stay on the opposite side of the platform as the barge. You will never get hit with the rockets this way. Just keep circling around. I think the level was designed this way: you're not supposed to be able to stop the incoming barrage until the barge lands.

[Xenolithium]

I've done that, and I still get hit with the turret. The boomshot goes off to the side just enough to completely kill me.

[Nineteenth Hour]

Try harder. The key is to stay in cover behind those large metal boxes (you will be crouched behind them). I did this on Hardcore and only got downed once, before I figured out what was up. If you need help just get a few buddies to join your game and get you past this part.

[KloHunt3r]

Yeah, every once and awhile one of the turrets gets a lucky shot around a corner and kills you. Just deal with it, and note that some pieces of cover are more susceptible to those lucky shots than others.

It's only a major problem on insane, and at that point you should be used to dying 5 million times during a chapter.

I am on Insane, and I can't find any cover that is worth anything. I literally just had the barge fire a Boomshot through the center area and kill me. Honestly, through the solid mass of the roof cover, just to blow up right in my lap.

[Xenolithium]

And I just Youtubed that part, and someone saved the Longshot, and they zoomed in on the turret and, sure enough, no gunner...just moving on its own accord.

[Touch16]

i dont think this is the same issue but so i dont have to make a new thread,

im on act 2 hijack at the part were 3 therons drop drop a ship before the barge platform. i have killed everyone but the doors wont open. i cannot interast with them at all even though they are shiny

[essentre]

There isn't a gunner on the turret, it fires on its own. You're not supposed to be able to stop it, thats the challenge. For some reason I didn't see why people were having such a hard time with this part. I literally did it on the second try on insane. All you have to do is keep moving around the map counter-clockwise from the barge. Taking cover directly across from where the Therons are dropped, I never got hit. Once you get used to moving as the barge is moving its actually quite simple, especially since you know where they are being dropped and can hit them with a torque before they even hit the ground.

[Wheatie]

You just circle around the area keeping the barge directly in front of you while you are on the opposite end. watch both ends of the barge as you circle and make sure you aren't exposed too much for them to take aim.

[KINGxBEEF]

just stay under the gazeebo(spelling?)..thats how i passed on insane after about 6 tries...

[opp3r bieest x]

you cant take the them out.
you just have to circle around them and find some cover now and then.
it is a wierd and ****ed up part but it can be done

[Coleyman]

Did this in only a few tries on solo Insane by circling around the central area.

[defhaus]

I did this first time on Insane without taking any damage. Just walk around the platform at the opposite side to the barge, so the turrets are hidden behind the roof thing. All you have to do then is take out the guards as soon as they drop down

[MrAzzy]

It requires a massive amount of luck, or a partner, the barge rocket turrets can kill you no matter where you hide because of splash damage. They often shoot through the centre structure too.

[halofan365]

you should be aware of the holes in the roof of the platform. the barge can shoot boom shots through it.

[NFI]

I've done that, and I still get hit with the turret. The boomshot goes off to the side just enough to completely kill me.

You need to stay directly across from it and be favoring the front. The catapult is what is killing you, and if you notice it launches from the back of the barge.

You dont really need luck or a partner. This is a pain in the ass on insane, but I learned to use a torque bow and while you must stay directly across from the barge, you need to favor its front end. The catapult firing away off the back is what causes the problems.

I was having trouble on insane at this part but I watched t tutorial and its easier to just stay on your feet rather than in cover. I didnt go into cover un less the guards were being anoying but thats the only way I did it. When I tried using cover the whole time the turrets would just shoot beside me and blow me up.
