Have you tried a high fire rate Vampire weapon? I know you should be able to kill things with whatever build you have, but Bethesda is bad about considering that when they make tough encounters. You might have to modify your build a bit to be successful.
Seems a lot of people struggle with this encounter. I don't remember it much, so it must not have left much of an impression on me.
I use a Vamp/Explosive gatling gun most of the time, so it's probably what I used on him. It must have been effective because he died and I won.

M8 s ok. hugo resets hp several times. inbetween do the terminals or whatever . its a long fight irregardless. if you spare him you get the lameduck ending with the 3 named npcs sitting around doing nothing and no better rewards.

Vamp Chainsaw worked for me, you may not have one yet.

yup. Just keep chasing him down and slapping him around again when he 'regenerates' (he gets full health each time he 'changes' slowly becoming more burnt up looking with tattered outfit)

There is nothing else to it sadly, no special mechanic or clever way to deal with him just a damn hp sponge battle. Such forward thinking Bethesda :P

i ran out of everything trying..im now grinding an geting everything fixed lol

if u agree to pay it forward in future, I am sure someone can set u up with a weapon complimentary to your build, with fitting boxmods(Even mod the weapon with normal mods before handover) so u get a better chance. Armor may be another thing (given that u will have to spend your own legendary modules to craft anything) but a god-weapon for your choosen setup is not hard. Just the base weapon(modded up of course) with 3 spare box mods u can attach yourself is not a big deal.

Just post what build your using and if not I, someone here will offer help.

Again, just make sure u pay it forward (even if in another game) later on.

As with any quest, if you don’t have the juice to complete it, there is no shame in setting it aside until you become more powerful.

So if I see a post like this and want to offer to go help a person complete it, how would I go about it on PC? I imagine I could message the person here on Steam and get their playername, but what are the mechanics of locating that person in game?

Pretty much that. Or share discord details? IDK but when I do it just msg here on steam with user, add as friend on steam, then when they pop into game, add them (ingame) and find them that way.

But (and again idk...) i do not think u can actually 'help' with this quest, I think it (like many of the story quests in this 'multiplayer' game lol) are solo instances. Best u can do is give advice and maybe gear.

You talk to them on Steam or Discord or wherever. Letting each other know your in game account name. Then you add them to the friends list just like any other friend. You can then join each others server from the social menu.

Note: If you are on a public or private team and the person who needs assistance with a specific quest and they are the leader. You can enter the instance with them taking the "join the leader" option. They can then be a hired gun.

You've gotta keep agro with him or he'll reset and heal up. This is easier said than done as BGS stuffed up the A.I. recently and they can 'get bored' during a fight and wander away.

You'll need a lot of stimpacks or other healing and just say in front of him, taking out the adds when they spawn.
