I'd go with the plasma Riffle 'cause it can destroy their energy sheil real fast.

People, people. Rockets are way better. They will kill anything. Although, in legendary, you may need more than 1 rocket. I was right next to an Elite, aimed my Rocket Launcher at it, and pulled the trigger. I died. It didn't.

Its tough to beat Elites with one gun. You have to use a combinationRockets are impractical because you hardly ever get one. Best way is to first charge your plasma pistal and hit it. It takes all the shield down. Then pop them in the head twice with a pistol, or just put a shotgun shell in them.

Yeah, Rocket Launcher will own all, maybe its due to it been the most devestating weapon around?!? Thing is, its impractical because you hardly ever get it, the ammo is few and far between and there is a only a small amount you can carry.

I think that its best to use the charged Plasma Pistol to take down the shields, then use Pistol (Human or Plasma), Plasma Rifle, Needler or Shotgun (depending on the situation) to take the Elite down for good.

Needler can work very well if you're in the right situation aswell.

I like to get "inot their personal bubble" so Id have to say the shotgun. BUT in Two Betrayals, there are LOADS of them on Legendary as well as some tanks and a few hunters. So for that particular instance, Id have to say the sniper rifle. One shot, one kill baybee!.

The best set-up would be to hit him wityh a plasma Pistol charged and then use a sticky nade on him as he is stunned...but the rocket launcher will get the job donr

The assault rifle, if you are figh5ting just one elite, this works perfectly, first get full ammo, then shoot at the elite, running at it, and get all close to it, empty the whole clip, the het it with melee until it dies.
