The Arsenal will send a barrage of bullets your way that can easily halve your HP bar. Locate the pillars on the field & use it as a physical shield against most of The Arsenal's attacks.

2. Shoot Drones To Take Down Barrier

Shoot Drones To Take Down Barrier

The Arsenal starts the fight with several drones protecting it with a barrier. Using Barrett's gun, take them down first to be able to damage the boss.

3. Avoid Electric Circles On Floor

Avoid Electric Circles On Floor

When The Arsenal summons electric circles on the floor, make sure to move away from it. This attack can damage you even if you're hiding behind a pillar so avoid the rings at all cost!

4. Focus Damage On Weak Spots

Focus Damage On Weak Spots

When The Arsenal charges up its weaponry, mainly the Main Cannon and Laser Cannon, they will become weak spots. Take note of this & use your powerful ranged attacks to do heavy damage to these parts.

5. Boss Becomes Mobile During 2nd Phase

Boss Becomes Mobile During 2nd Phase

The Arsenal will start moving when it gets to its 2nd phase. It'll start charging at you so dodge sidewards to avoid getting run over and hit.

6. Becomes Pressured After Pulse Cannon

Becomes Pressured After Pulse Cannon

The Arsenal will use the Pulse Cannon move several times when its HP has been lowered significantly. Avoid this attack & immediately attack the boss as it will be Pressured & the Stagger gauge will fill up faster.
