I am currently trying to get through Tayari Plaza on Legendary Solo with 6 Primary, (Iron, Mythic, Famine, Tilt, Tough Luck and Thunderstorm), and 3 Secondary Skulls, (Cowbell, Grunts BDay Party and Dialogue frequency modulator). I keep getting to the final battle in the square with Jackal snipers plus various other sheilded Jackals, Brutes and Grunts). I can deal with everyting except the brutes here. I am now stuck for ideas on how to tackle this battle. Can some offer some suggestions. I would really appreciate it. Thx. Silly remarks like use less skulls or turn the difficulty are not really welcome as I am quite serious about what I am trying to do.

You could always skip the fight. Kill a few grunts, sniper jackals, brutes. And when you feel its safe just run past. I did this with all Skulls on.

Try using your assault rifle, it actually can get a good range. But if that doesn't work (I realize this will take a long time) but you can always resort to using the crappy little pistol, and yes I do realize that it does almost nothing but that is how I surprisingly got past that part on mythic.

Describe your problem. Are you running out of ammo?

Snipe the jackals first. Then the Brutes and Grunt at the plasma turret. Carbine the grunts. When the hunters come, run over the bridge, jump from the balcony on to the one where the turret is, and run for your life to the next checkpoint.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.

Thanks Madal44. I use pistol alot early on so it is normally pretty low at this point even with the extra ammo at the school building. Never tried the assualt rifle though. Will definately give it shot.

Having Serious ammo problem from the word go due to the Famine skull being active. Beam rifle has less than half ammo when picked up and carbines at a max of 46 rounds. I usually take the snipers first which leaves the brutes and grunts. I always snipe the Jackals with the carbine to maximize power for the the brutes but this is currently proving futile. I only take out those grunts that are posing an immediate threat to ensure maximum potential for taking out the brutes. Thanks for your advice Odhanan especially the bridge run to avoid the hunters.

Thanks Jew man man. I've tried this approach but haven't been unsuccessful at it. I have struggled with the run and hope approach, probably because I am the unluckiest man alive, lol.
