How To Beat Katagawa Jr In Borderlands 3
It is advised to have at least one long-range weapon such as a sniper rifle or an assault rifle and one short-range gun such as a shotgun before starting the fight with Katagawa Jr.
In this fight, there are some unusual rules. You can only weaken the boss if you manage to attack his clones.
There are two different variants of clones of Katagawa Jr. The first ones will fire from afar. For instance, from the upper/top shelf. You can attack them using any rifle. There are two options for you, you can either attack the clone directly or look for a generator near the clone. When you shoot at the generator, it will create a bigger explosion, creating more damage to the clone.
The other clone variants will appear in the hero’s vicinity. Their attack will impair your vision, hence your vision will be limited. Therefore, it is best to use a shotgun for this clone variant.
The clones have shields with them, you need to get rid of them first. Once the clone loses its shield, it will disappear quickly. Make the most of this brief moment for making as much damage as possible to the clone’s health. Only these injuries and damages will weaken the main health bar of Katagawa Jr.
If you enter the Fight for your life mode in case you fall down, one of the clones will try to perform a melee attack by appearing near the hero. Without relying on the ally’s help, you can kill him. This method can also be used to save yourself from the final death if you are playing alone and there is no other survival method.
Towards the end of the fight, the main Katagawa boss will attack you. Attack him to deprive him of his health and then kill him. When the boss is defeated, it will explode in the vicinity of the hero after teleporting. Once he explodes, he will leave behind eridium, many credits and some valuable equipment.
