Shotgun, dear chap. Pretty sure there are hundreds of threads saying this already. (It seems the inability to use the search function is as common here as in every other game forum I've ever been on.)
I'd suggest a combat shotgun with an incendiary effect. You'll end up killing some smelters, but it only takes 5 or 6 to get Joe off his perch and then the "combat" bit will come into play as you can deploy the same weapon to bring Joe down.
I'd suggest an AR to combo with the shotty. It's more effective for killing the miners in stage 1, and for hitting Joe when his shields break in stage 2. By stage three it doesn't much matter what you're using as Joe has no shields, but the shotty is easier to score constant hits with while running in circles.
PS. Blast rifles, unless they're Mazu ones, have lousy damage output. It's okay against Raiders and Bugs, but it'll start getting iffy against miners and next to useless against Dark Matter.
nevermind i figured it out
This is to those who are stuck on or who did not do Main mission - A bullet For A Bad Man(Jackleg)
First Phase: In the back of the room to Jacklegs right and to the left of the furnace he stands above,there is a metal crate you can hide behind and to the side of. You shoot from behind the crate and from the opening between the front of the crate and wall. You do not move from there unless you need ammo. I used cloak to go to ammo spot. I used the High caliber 44 rated machine gun. It has the number 44 in its description. Nobody comes to you behind the crate. Sometimes somebody would try to get in from the gap between the wall and crate,byt it is an easy kill.
Phase 2: Same weapon,ignore everybody else but the smelters,cass keeps the others occupied. I hide behind crate and sneak from behind it just enough to get a shot at the smelters tank on their back. If I miss the tank and they run after me,I just melee them to death. Hard to control your shots when the come at you behind and throgh the gap between the wall and crate. When I did hit the smelters tank and they ran under Jackleg to lower his shield, I jumped up on top of the crate and fired my rifle at him and threw a grenade.
Phase 3; Jackleg jumps down from the balcony and you have to kill him. Again I never moved from behind or the side of the crate. He jumps down after half his shield is gone. I used crouch(O button for Playstion3) function from between the wall and crate and I did not move. He walked past the crate ooking in my direction ,but did not see me. He went to the front right of the room and would move fom the right to center from behind crate on the right front,to go after cass. When he goes to attack cass,shoot at him from the gap at the front of crate and wall,when you have a shot at him. When He stops firing at cass and starts to turn to look back at you to attack you,stop firing and move around from side of crate to back of it if you have to avoid his grenades. Stay crouched the entire time and do not let him see you. Use Cass as a distraction. He stayed at the front of the room the whole time and I finally killed him,by shooting from the gap between the metal crate and the wall,all while being crouched down. I had difficulty defeating him before I used my method,I finally defeated him. Messge me or comment on posthis post if this helped you or do not understand how to do the 3 phases. Follow my steps and youy should be able to win this mission,I did!
Honestly after playing around a bit, I think using shot gun/pistol or AR and cloak would make this fight a joke.
Main thing as mentioned never stop moving, I also find hopping on top of the crates very helpful, didn't know about the melee method until after I beat him though. Just remember to roll after the melee to put the fire out you will probably get hit with.
Also would recommend a shield that has a quick regen count down on this fight, lots of 2-5 second breaks in action
Use a flare gun. A hit is 100% fire proc.
Then T-off with your favorite weapon when shield collapses. However, I use rifles, not sure how well specialty weapons damage him.
If you are comfortable pound out head-shots. Alternatively, shoot the body to play it safe.

Use the flash bang grenade on the smelters that will ignite the tanks they carry.Originally Posted by solomon
Did the flashbang work all the time and was it easier then aiming a gun at their tanks
Yeah, this is a tough one. Unfortunately, the final mission (against Nim) is even worse. However, I got lucky and was able to beat Jackleg after a few days. I put in my build and such in this thread:

Hope it helps and good luck to you. Hopefully, if enough players offer constructive suggestions for these two missions, we can get some options added to them that allows players a better opportunity to complete them and enjoy the storyline much more.
there's no need to fight anybody but the smelters and joe himself- rosa will keep all the others busy- all you need to do is hide behind the boxes on joe's right (your left if you're facing him) AGAINST THE SAME WALL JOE IS ON- that part is important, since it puts you behind the smelters when they spawn- use a weapon that won't kill them with a single shot as you shoot the packs on their back, and they'll start to burn, running under joe to disable his shield.- you're using too much firepower for that one shot on the smelters- try switching guns for the smelters, then back to high power for joe, while the shield is down.
