Gangbuster badge...

I decided a while back I'm going to try and hit all the redside unlockable contacts. So far I've gotten all but Veluna Matata or Hakuna Lunata or whatever her name is. Anyway, the prereq for the Slot Machine is the Gangbuster badge. Tried hunting in a few of the usual Family spots and the bosses are extremely shy. Any clues for good hunting places?

The place I found the most regularly spawn mob bosses was the northeast neighborhood in St. Martial. I forget what it is called. There is a building there, near the beach, around which bosses seemed to spawn with enough regularity that you could kill... I want to say 30-40 an hour? Not sure though, it's been a while.

the best place i know of to get them redside is the upper right hand corner of st martial (they are lvl 36-38 there though, but frequently spawn 1-3 per mob)

if you dont want to outlevel them just get a lvl 50 friend to team with and you wont get any rewards from them so you wont outlevel the slot machine

God I hate getting that badge!!!!!!

Try Jackpot in St. Martial....and set a couple of hours aside, they're not as frequent as the cold demons in Potter's field, Sharkhead.....

OH, and underbosses don't count either, just in case you didn't know......hate that badge....grumble grumble....

Depending on what level you are, the St. Martial bosses may be a little too high. I got the Gangbuster badge by patrolling the Marconeville and Oil Spill neighborhoods of Port Oakes. Look for the bald guys in white suits, or the guys with black suits and black hats.

It's not really any easier to my mind. There's still only one villain mission with Outcast bosses, and that mission still only spawns 3-4 of them on a full team. Nothing has really changed, except you can do it without a big team. If you're doing it through Ouro though, resetting the mission becomes harder.

As you travel back and forth through Nerva, keep a watch for Consiglieres, they spawn on that first island in Crimson Cove near the ferry. I can usually get that badge just by "drive by" hunting those Consigliere before I hit level 32.

yeah timewise it will still take forever, but the easeier part about it is not requiring a team to do this (before new diff settins you HAD to have 8 poeple on the team to get them to spawn, now you dont have to worry about it so much)

I was on a team before that was doing it back in my newbie days, and didn't understand why they kept leaving the mish and going back in.

months later trying to get that badge I realized how frustrating it actually was

There isn't anywhere where outcasts spawn is there on redisde? I'd be surprised if there was, but then you learn something new everyday.

There's quite a few in Port Oakes these days, more than I remember when I was a young villain.

No, Outcasts do not exist anywhere in open-world Rogue Isles. You might be thinking of Hellions.

I recently picked up Gangbuster by patrolling the dockside area in the NW of St. Martial, followed by a stint in Port Oakes near the supergroup building.

For Port Oakes I set up a bind:

/bind q "targetcustomnext marcone capo"

This picks up capo gunners and marcones as well as marcone capos - your desired target, but it still helps a lot in spotting the rooftop lurkers.
