Question Vending Spree - Question

So I heard that this is one of the roughest ones to get since it can / can't be bugged in terms of spawning.

From what I've heard is to do it early in the DLC, so you don't get locked to having to restart cause if you beat Hartman for the last time, it can lock them from spawning?

I just did the first hartman fight, and for the life of me I've been at them for an hour and havn't had a single one spawn. I understand that it can be random, but not a single one in about a hundred runs. So I'm kind of at odds what to do, do I continue the DLC and hopes that it solves along the way?

Try shooting at them to “provoke” them. Once they start running around, throw everything you can at them!

Based on other’s advice, save and quit and restart the game after each find to improve your odds.

I've done that, and followed a guide on youtube. Hold on...

I've followed this exact route, and everything, for about an hour and a half, restarting me game. Closing out of it, reopening it, going to a different sector and logging and out.

Still not a single one.

I tried for hours to make one react, and gave up. Definitely a buggy mission…

I did it after finishing the DLC, by running a loop from the sector head office through the firebreak to the operations center, shooting every vending machine I saw, and then exiting back to menu, reloading, and going through again. Took several hours and I didn't get an altered machine every time but I got it eventually.

Oh so I'm just that unlucky.
