Defeating Wilhelm

[York]

Anyone knows how to defeat this robot ? The only corrosive things i have are my grenades and thats it, he keeps sucking off other robots and just regenerating his shield every 15 seconds

what? never said anything of a legendary malliwan weapon, only said that malliwan has higher corrosive chance, which all malliwan weapons have in their respective element, the drop is based on the boss level unless he is in TVHM, coming back at lvl 15 will not make the hornet a lvl 15 weapon, i dont really get why you get so rilled up.

Anyways, op, like others have said, make sure you take out the robots first and using a shock weapon is handy for his shields

Maliwan does NOT have "higher corrosive chance, which all Maliwan weapons have ..." Another lie. I really don't care what you say in here just stop trying to turn guesses and lies into facts. Thanks

all malliwan weapons have higher elemental proc, but w/e floats your boat

well actually, all maliwan weapons have higher elemental chance and damage

-Maliwan guns are always elemental (either slag, corrosive, incendiary or shock, but never explosive) and generally have increased elemental effect chance and damage when compared to guns from other manufacturers.

-Most Maliwan weapon types almost always have the "Bonus Elemental Damage" trait, the amount of bonus damage differing between weapon types
​ -Pistol bonus damage is equal to 100% of the damage listed on the item card.

And also, The hornet/Thunderball fist will be useless at that level.

And as for OP, If you are still looking. I would recommend farming some chests/vending machines until you get some nice shock and corrosive weapons

Use a shock weapon to down his shields then slag him and go ham with corrosive. He will melt so damn fast. UNLESS It's Saturn then just hide in the shed and pray he doesnt one shot you for about 5mins

So far as low level, again so what? Return and refarm all the way up thru level 80.

In normal mode, the Hornet has about 20 gun damage and 10 elemental damage. How on Earth is that going to help against Wilhelm? Refarming it won't change that, do you even have any idea how loot levels work in normal and TVHM?

Your arguments are simply untrue & have no validity ~ just play the game and on the forum the idea is to help the OP solve his real problem, not to try to engage the rest of us in your idiotic debates. Please learn what you're doing in here or don't bother us with your bull.

Part of helping the OP is to dissuade them from following your BS advice.

which is a shame, because Maliwan had some semi-decent Explosive Sniper Rifles in their arsenal (that's if one didn't obtain the Torgue Cobra yet)

The first time I did this I got overwhelmed. So many enemies. Loaders and his flying healers. Best bet is to kill him right from the start. He goes into a summoning mode. Drop some corrosives cloud grenades while he does this. He has no shield at the start so this will wreck him good. It's what I did on my second run.


Then for some reason he didn't finish his summons. He sort of flinched. Must be due to the steady damage from corrosive procs. When he tried to summon again, I shot him in the eye with a corrosive sniper rifle. Managed to kill him without even letting him summon a single robot.
