    Problem with Benitez (vendor)

    Hi there,

    Not sure when exactly started (either with the "pre-season" or the season proper), but I haven't been able to do any transactions with Benitez for a few weeks now.
    When I approach his spot, the "press F" doesn't show up. Pressed F anyway - nothing happens.
    There is the orange "!" which I think usually means there are new things for sale, but no other clue.
    I did a files validation and nothing changed.
    Is this a bug? Or is there some limitation / restriction during the season that I am not aware of?
    Not a big deal, yet it bothers me because it's not working as it should (or I don't know something).

    Thanks.

    PS. Had some issues with Cassie too, different tho. I usually look at the vendors' "listings" (Ruben Alamina) to see if there is anything worth chasing, especially with the elusive Cassie, and when I get to her I can see only about half of the items she should have... Again, not sure it's a bug or something I don't know. Thanks again

    Sometimes you have to reactive him and visit him at his initial spot, a bit further to the left. Then he'll return to his usual spot and you can trade with him again.

    Thanks.

    Which items are you missing exactly? Because some items are only on sale if you previously unlocked them (for example for killing all the Hunters, both the "vanilla" Hunters and the WoNY Hunters unlock one item each).

    Thanks.
    Okay, I will try to reactivate him, even tho he is where he should be.

    Re. Cassie, case in point the named Shield Splinterer (F2000). Yes, I don't have it yet, that's why I want it
    I did not bother with the hunters, too annoyed with the silly stuff you need to do to spawn them.

    It's a chronically recurring bug carried over from the WoNY campaign.

    Sidestep five feet to your right (halfway between Benitez and the mutt with cranial gigantism), and you'll discover the Benitez vendor introduction prompt from WoNY. Interact there, then sidestep back to Benitez and the vendor prompt will again become available.

    She has the Shield Splinterer on the majority of her appearances. Wait for a Godroll if interested. Yesterday it was Max WpDmg and in the 80% range on the second, allowing you to sub out the third and get to a triple Godroll within a couple of optimizations.

    Yes, I know she has it most of the time, and often with good rolls. The problem is when I get to her, this one does not show up in her inventory.
    Tried several times when I knew it was supposed to be available, yet didn't show up for me to buy...

    Have you ever seen it in her inventory, or never and merely know from secondary sources that it is 'supposed' to be available?

    If the latter is the case, I suspect it would be one of the residual pool item locks from not having killed all the DC hunters, obtaining all of the requisite 'White Keys', and opening the reward crate by the barber in the DC BoO, containing, among other things, a Shield Splinterer.

    Never seen it, knew from sources it was supposed to be available.
    So, most likely it's locked item.
    Any alternative way unlock it. Not very interested in going through Ubi's hoops to spawn the hunters...
    Thanks again.

    That was the initial means of procurement, and if you've never seen one, then it must still be locked on condition of opening the crate with the eight 'White Keys'.

    Sorry, man. Many of the single hunters are easy, but the 4-man team spawned at night after doing laps around the Xmas tree is extremely difficult. If you do ultimately attempt it, bring three pros with you. I soloed it back before WoNY and Gear 2.0, when we just had L30 GS500 characters, and had to kill seven of them... three were resuscitated by remaining live ones, and I had to kill them a second time.
