This is one nasty fight. There is not enough room to run around and evade the mobs. best bet is to go hide behind the iron cage box on the back left, then just kill what sticks it's nose out. Phase two gets a bit tight because of the Smelters, but they are the key to success. They will come out of one of the two hatches, one at a time, and EGO will announce them to make sure you don't fail to notice. Shoot the backpack to set them on fire (weapons with Fire proc seem to have a better chance of igniting his fuel tank), then they will run into the flame jets under Joe and explode! When this happens it knocks Joe's shield down for a short time. Get out there and pound him. When you see his shield recharge run back into hiding and repeat. When he reaches 30% health his ark-shield fails leaving him with only a normal shield, and he will come down to fight you himself. Treat him like a big Blacklung (stick and move, stun and nuke).

1. Hide behind cage in corner and kill mobs one by one
2. Tag the smelter's backpack to set them on fire and disable Joe's shield, then lob whatever explosives you have
3. Joe comes down to fight mano y mano. Stun and nuke.

"I finally found a weapon combo that works using a VOT Auto Lobber (7 grenades, explode after one bounce) in my secondary slot. When Joe's shield falls, step out and lob grenades over the railing to take about 5% off his health each time. Aim at the wall to the side so the grenade makes it over the railing and bounces to Joe. I am sure other weapons work, too, but nothing with direct fire seemed to do any damage to him, it just hit the railing. I had his health down to 50% when I ran into server downtime. Next try I got him to 30% and was surprised as hell when he came down to fight me himself. This time I used a VBI CS-X Cluster Shot (10-round shotgun-launched mini-grenades) and it worked very well. Had to leave my hidey-hole less for ammo. 3rd try with grenades worked. I was EGO 400 before I was able to complete this Mission." -Bludwyng
