early game antenna defense

[Uncle Sam]

I'm having some harsh difficulty getting through this part of the game. Gadriel and Chairon offer effectively no assistance for this whole affair,they're too busy jobbing to the shooty and stabby Gaunts and getting mogged by the warriors to help me deal with the giant clouds of gorgons on the antennas who deal very rapid damage to said antennas. I can't juggle clearing the adds, the warriors, the spores that catch me off-guard every time, but worst of all, the two effing Zoanthropes flying in the far back chuckin their energy bombs at me. i cant deal with all of it at once. the pacing is kinda nuts. the first antenna is a breeze as its meant to be, nothing to hinder you, but then you have to deal with the second and third antenna in quick succession wile getting swarmed by tides upon tides of Gaunts and Warriors while the spores are inching closer. while you're trying to just GET to either of the towers, the fourth becomes under attack and all three are rapidly losing a lot of health. by the time im done with the 2nd tower, the third is 30% and the fourth is at 40%. by the time im done with the 3rd the 4thy is at less than 10% and by then its far too late.
I'm playing on veteran difficulty. no, i am not open to lowring difficulty, veteran is the intended difficulty at which the game is meant to be played and I'm not going to put it any lower on the principle that i dont like quitter talk and its how the devs mean for the game to be played and i'll respect it.

What I want: I'm looking for some solutions on how to deal with this part of the campaign: something I can use, a weapon, a methodology, something to help me clear the area faster.

Use the grenade launcher, you need to aim at the middle of the antenna's. You can also throw grenades at the antenna's. Plan out a route of where the grenades are, ammo etc. Took me 5-6 tries to get it, PITA for sure.

You can actually give the AI orders and they follow it OK just make a point to kill warriors quick then nuke the gargoyles( lot of people don't seem to realise you don't need the big blue circle to parry warrior regular attacks), hip fire guants only real threats are zoans.

I know you said you're done with it but for anyone reading there is a heavy bolter there that you can pick up, greatly helps.

further adding to this, there's quite a few medicae stims scattered on the edges of the arena, both outter and inner sides. also a lot of scattered ammo boxes in similar locations. additionally, between Antenna A and B is a munitions chest on the outter edge of the arena and one on the opposite side of arena near Antenna C and D on the inner side. grenades are your friends.
