A major weakness of the Reaper are the Electric rounds for the Grenade Launcher - one is enough to stun it, all you have to do after that is shoot its weak spots until it dies.

SMGs and rifles fair particularly well against them due to their faster fire rate, which makes it easier to prefire their weak spots before they even show up. You can also use weapons with Piercing that will completely remove the need for them to expose their chest's weak spot - just keep shooting at the chest where the orange blob usually appears, and they should die quickly.

Alternatively, wait for them to expose the blobs on their shoulders, and use a Magnum to take them and their chest blob out in 2-4 shots depending on the Magnum you're using and the difficulty you're playing on.

If you're playing with infinite ammo however, the Rocket Launcher is a 1-hit kill against them as long as the rocket is shot and lands right at them.

2 flash rounds from the granade launcher is much more effective since it stuns him immediately

I guess you didn't pay attention to what I said in regards to the Grenade Launcher - why use 2 Flash Rounds (if they even work / have an effect on the Reaper) when you can use a single Electric round that's a guaranteed stun for him ?

I just tested it out 2 electric doesn't guarentee him to stun him to show his core, 2 flash rounds will. The electric rounds only put him to the first stunned state and not the second stunned state, yes you can use your other weapons to get the job done but for me the flash rounds are more effective and I can save them for Jill's boss fight in 5-3
