Try to shoot him right in the eye for criticals. You can shoot the rockets he launches in the air out of the sky and it counts as a second wind if you're downed. This should help a ton if you're trying to solo it. Other than that, try to find a few cover spots to alternate between and maybe bring a launcher or some sort of area attack for the minions it summons. Good luck.

thanks for the advice! I went back to town and bought a bunch of rockets lol

If you have some good grenades, find a good far away area and bobard him. & also, a fast shooting weapon with decent damage is 100x better than a hard hitter that shoots very slow.

run back to the place where the turrets were which you destroyed to open the doors. From there you can snipe the constructor. You only have to watch out for the sniper shots of the constructor which can one shot you. It's hard for the rockets to hit you there and the atom bomb won't go there so it's very save.

I typically hide very far away from constructors, preferably with something to duck behind when they start spraying homing missles at me. The ideal spots to look for when fighting a constructor will have something that fully obscures the constructor's view of you for the lasers, something tall enough to block missles, and either an overhang to block nukes or a clear enough view of the sky to shoot them down. Constructors are typically much easier to fight from a distance unless a surveyor gets in behind them. And yes, aim for the eye unless they have the reflective shielding up.

I am all about this suggestion as well. +1

Caustic infinity's are amazing for him. And use walls as cover. Also, if you have a decent caustic sniper and can shoot the eye from a distance with a shock or caustic sniper to kill his shield that can help too

Go to a distance where he can't reach you with his weapons (really not that far), pull out a sniper, aim for the eye thing (not when it's shielded, because it will bounce off of it and do insane damage), and then win...

If it’s the one before the Bunker ... I HATE that one lol! Hardest Badass Constructor in the game in my opinion. It's the epitome of evil game design and I have to give them thumbs up on pure deviousness! If they didn’t design terrain around Constructor encounters oh man… I main Zer0 but it should be possible with the other classes.

It sets up above that building before you can even hit it, so I had to come up with a plan. I run right under the buildings overhang ledge before its fully deployed. Its missiles and Nukes can't hit you under there. Heatseekers may find a way to nail you though, so keep an ear out for when it announces them. I can now deal with the baddies below without that Constructor blasting me to bits. Once all the baddies below are dead, I run up the steps and hit and run behind that wall... argh hard to explain the terrain, but you can duck in and out and have a clear shot at its eye. If it builds new bots, I find they go for the stairs and not jump down.

As Zer0, I got fed up with hit and running it, so deception ran up to its eye, shoot it, got knocked down in front its eye, and then shotgun in da face second wind win! I find suicide running them can be rather effective with Zer0 and a shotgun lol. Melee works too if your specialized for it.
