==Tactics==
Always watch its movement carefully. Don't shoot if it stops moving, because that means it's in its defensive form.
It is suggested that the player uses sniper rifles or slower firing weapons (with greater damage) instead of weapons like SMGs to have more control of their firing. This minimizes the boss' regeneration ability, because it only heals by 4 per shot regardless of the actual damage dealt.
Stay far away as much as possible, but do keep an eye on it so the player can avoid the surprise spike attacks. Fighting this boss mostly relies on their ability to safely move back and forth, especially around the covers and corners of the arena, to avoid getting hit.
Break the mines either to make sure they won't cause incorrect targeting or as a backup energy source for long-battle scenarios (be careful of the explosive barrels, however).
