Hyperion Slaughter: Round 2

Ore Chasm

The second round contains many more Engineers and Hyperion Snipers and fewer traditional Loaders. Begin the first wave by taking cover in the center of the map, near the elevator, and use an accurate Corrosive rifle to headshot the Combat Engineers that enter from the south. The Engineers serve as a great source of Critical Hit kills, so load up with headshots! ION Loaders soon make their way into the arena as the main enemy type in the second wave. These adversaries also attack from the south. ION Loaders can certainly inflict harm with their electrical attack, but the most important thing you can do against them is to remain patient. Unless you manage to lob a Corrosive grenade at them as their energy shield ramps up, you are best served by simply waiting for them to stop spinning, then attacking when the shield is lowered.

BUL Loaders and PWR Loaders attack next, also from the south. These enemies can provide a greater challenge, as they are both capable of deflecting your attacks back at you—a very dangerous proposition when using elemental attacks! There are numerous ways to combat BUL and PWR Loaders, including shooting around their shield and propellers, respectively. Another option is to use an Explosive weapon so that the concussive force of the attack hits them beyond their defenses. Action Skills and Singularity grenades also work very well against these types of Loaders.

The final wave in this round is comprised of Hyperion Snipers that move into position from the north. Seek the upper ground on the southeastern side of the map and use the rock piles for cover. Switch to a Shock-based weapon (preferably a sniper rifle) so you can damage their shields and remove their ability to cloak. Hyperion Snipers are similar to Stalkers in that they are best confronted with a pair of Shock and Fire weapons.
