I give up. I've tried so many times to defeat this motherf... I have tried with two different characters. I've focused entirely on getting better shields and better weapons right from the start with my second character, just so I could be prepared for this fight. I went here with a purple shield, purple assault rifle (rank 4) and an orange shotgun (rank 3) that needs two shots to kill a 99er, and it's one of those rapid-fire shotguns. But I can't do it. The fight is impossible. Maybe it's bugged on my side, but it's not possible to do it. And here's why.
The only places you can hide are behind a few tanks, or whatever they are. Except the enemies swarm into the room from both sides, so there are nowhere to hide. Once the shield is gone (after one shot...), you can only run around in a circle and hope you won't get hit until it recovers again. But trust me, that won't happen. You *will* die. The enemies need one shot to kill you. Two if you're very lucky. Too bad there are never any less than four of them shooting at you at all times - and they *never* miss. Oh, sure, I can fight back if I want to. I can even kill every enemy on one side of the room with ease. But what's the point? By the time I'm done with those (after three seconds), I'm already shot a couple of times by the enemies on the other side of the room. And if I by some miracle manage to kill all the enemies on one side and run away before I get shot again, I'm hit by a couple of grenades after three seconds anyway. Part because there's nowhere to hide, and part because the room is so small, you can easily throw a grenade all the way to the other side anyway.
So that's about it. I've tried more than twenty times on my first character, then made a new character especially for this fight, and after ten times in a row, I can't do it. It's simply not possible. Congrats to you who have done it, and I hope you enjoy the game a lot for a long time. As for me, I really regret buying my third copy. I'll probably be back if they ever put in a "so easy even grandma can do it"-mode, but until then, I guess I'll go read a book or something. Oh, well. It was fun while it lasted.
Edit: Oh, and just for the record, I never had any issues at all with either character until now. In fact, it's almost too easy. Even going down to this fight was easy enough. And dungeons? I've breezed through plenty on my first char, getting headshot after headshot with my sniper rifle. But this fight? I can't do it.
