It was also the first time I completed the quest in standard or cursed so that’s why I barely got the calling card. I feel so bad for others who have failed cause I got it first try😭
Strategies I used that helped me:
Always have a raygun (preferably mk. 1 because of splash damage) pap’d as high as you can get it. Equivalent exchange is always on for me unless I’ve already used it 3 times. Just shooting anything gets me right back up. I also have the revival wisp augment on for extra security. You should also have all eternal perks by this point from Tedd tasks.
I watched lots of boss fight videos and learned the missles only follow where it thinks you’re gonna be, so once you hear his cue for his missile attack, slow down to see where they’re going to land then begin at the edge of the arena and circle inward making sure you’re on the outside of the missile’s radius.
I used all healing orbs whenever I was low on truck health.
I always had my eye on Tessie’s health and anticipated it breaking down on its next hit. Then as soon as I was ejected I switched to the gauntlet for speed and threw a monkey bomb. Only once you’ve lost all monkey bombs, use ather shroud. You should get max ammos to replenish your monkeys.
On his third phase, you have to charge at him as soon as the boost is available to immediately cancel his purple beam. I was attacked twice by it, but I got out of my truck and hid behind a wall since the beam only targets you. If you stay in the car, it’ll get totaled.
Finally, although it was risky, I got out of the truck to use my war machine instead of the DG2 turret for the first 2 phases. It got me close to dying but I would ensure that the next phase would begin sooner and since you only have a limited amount of healing pods, you kind of want to speed run it.
If you have any questions, I would love to help
