As players make their way through Borderlands 3, some may find themselves struggling with a number of the game's many boss fights. Indeed, BL3 features some truly challenging boss battles, and certain fans may be having trouble figuring out how to beat Mouthpiece in Borderlands 3, as an example. For those that have made it past the earliest stages of the game, though, trouble still lies ahead, and some are sure to currently be stuck trying to kill Katagawa Jr. in BL3.

How to Beat Katagawa Jr. in Borderlands 3

When the Katagawa Jr. fight in Borderlands 3 begins, the boss will start by spawning clones of two types: one that will attempt to melee the player with a katana and the other that will try to snipe them from the nearby rooftops. In order to initially deal damage to this Borderlands 3 boss, players will need to apply damage to these clones, and it does not matter which of the clones is targeted.

It is thus recommended to approach the BL3 Katagawa Jr. boss fight with both a short-range weapon, like a Borderlands 3 shotgun, and a long-range weapon, such as a sniper rifle. The short-range weapon will be used to apply pressure to the katana-wielding clones, while the long-range weapon can be used to damage the snipers. To note, the snipers can be damaged by shooting the electric generators when they are close to them.

Additionally, it is advisable for Borderlands 3 Vault Hunters to try to remain in motion during this fight. This both serves to avoid the blurriness that is caused by entering the smoke that is thrown by the melee clones and reduces the chance of being hit by the enemies that are attempting to snipe from afar.

It is also important to note that only the damage done against the clones' health will be applied to the boss — shield damage is not transferred over to Katagawa Jr. As such, players should make sure that their best Borderlands 3 guns are reloaded just before they break a clone's shield so that they are prepared to deal as much damage as possible to the clone's health.

Once Borderlands 3's Katagawa Jr. has reached approximately 5% health, players will need to confront him directly alongside his clones. Fans should simply continue to remain in motion, in order to avoid his melee assault, and finish him off.
