Those shield guys.

How do you kill them easily? I am playing on ultra violence and they just kill me instantly. I tried using rockets, mini rockets,machine gun. The only thing that seems to work is the chainsaw but I don't always have fuel for that.

[ScareKrow]

plasma gun either stun bomb (breaks the shield instantly) or just shoot them with the plasma gun.

[Mister Torgue Flexington]

you could just toss Frag Grenades, as the explosions hurts them

[Mankybus]

Chainsaw or land an explosive directly behind them (Frag is best for them). They're a ♥♥♥♥♥ when you first fight them until I realised how simple they are. The plasma gun is great for them since the DPS is so high that it will shred the shield and turn them into mince meat.

[Hurtbringer]

I usually just pound them with weapons until the shield is gone unless I see them firing then I shoot them while they are exposed

[Jork]

I always use frag grenades, or a well placed explosive shot from the shotgun.

Failing that, if I'm cornered up close, I'll break out the chainsaw.

[HFM]

I tried the chainsaw when one of them had a full blue shield and it was an instakill basically. It seems the shield is only effective against ranged weapons.

I dunno, they aren't very mobile, so as long as you're constantly moving and strafe well you can get behind them, even on UV.

[Lu2]

use charged shot from shotgun in close range(you will stagger him) . the shot twice to finish him off

[Hurtbringer]

Gently kiss his cheek while you hold his hand up to your face in a lovers embrace

Works every time

shotgun rocket

[Professor Smooth]

Try to use your explosive shell mod for your shotgun. Shoot it at their feet behind them or near the sides. It should stagger them enough to follow up shots after.

[[OH] Cogglesz]

A technique i've been using is putting them infront of enemy fire, either from the possesed soilders or imps projectiles the enemy's will happily shoot the sheild doods in the back letting you sweep in, Just try and get the sheild guy between another bad guy and you and the backfire should help you to deal with him.

I had a bad habbit of melee'ing them in the face and getting too excited, thats a no no on ultra violence and beyond.

[Manakuski]

Rocket launcher next to them or Gauss gun... (Just because i hate them)
