How to kill the Mega Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Claptrap?

Question

So it appears that doing the Claptrap DLC in playthrough 2 wasn't such a smart idea after all. While it's boosted me from level 44 to level 47 fairly painlessly, pretty much everything has a couple hundred times more health than it should've... and kamikaze claptraps oneshot you and are useless for second winds.

Excessive amounts of health notwithstanding I've made my way to the MINAC... where I died thrice in quick succession. Everything — from the ten turrets to MINAC itself — seems to have pretty much infinite health. It probably doesn't help that my best weapons are fire and not corrosive.

At any rate that puts me kind of in an ugly spot. How do I tackle this monstrosity, grinding of gears and wobbly heads and pink panties notwithstanding?

Answer 1

Kill all the turrets first; they don't respawn. They're not too hard to take out (relatively), but they're occasionally covered by invincible covers. Kill the turrets one by one if you're having trouble taking them down before dying; their health does reset but only if they're alive. Make sure all turret slots are dead before preceding. IIRC, corrosive damage helps as well, corrosive sniper would be best, failing that a magnum or SMG.

Stay the heck away from it; if it runs you over it's an instant kill. Just run around at a long distance and shoot it's eye (that is the weakpoint isn't it? Been a while), there's several places you can hide while you're doing this as well, use cover well.

Don't kill the claptraps except the Kamikazes or the ones getting too close/hurting you too much. They're there for second winds.
