i wanna find out how many people who have compleated the game on legendary by skill and battering the elites in a fair battle or by mortering plasma grenades down and hoping for the best. if you have some other ingienious idea that isnt above let me know.

i usually use plasma rifle, then assault rifle when their shields are down. always at point blank range.

I will typically use the plasma pistol or the plasma rifle to take out their shields before I nail them with the AR or the pistol. It really depends on the situation, though. If I have a shotgun, well...they're dead very quickly. If they're facing away from me, they get a back crack.

I voted "other."

I usually use a charged plasma pistol shot to down his shield and unlesh my secondary into him, or just keep firing with the plasma pistol. Needler is pretty good, Your trusty Sniperifle is one of your best friends if you got the space to use em. As for the rocket launcher i always fell like im wasting it unles there a group of guys to destroy, it feels to valuable to use on one elite, you know save it for when your in troble.

I usually use the plasma rifle but recently (after seeing a video with this tactic) I have enjoyed using a charged plasma pistol to make them stand still then sticking a plasma grenade to them and taking cover.

i always find the "easyist" way to kill them is with the plasma pistol, fiollowed by anything really, but i find it much more satisfying using the same weapon they have got, this way i know i didnt have any kind of unfair advantage when they are lying face first on the floor.

also i left the shotgun out as it really has no compititon. and its the closest thing to firing death out of a cannon
