The first one was cake. There was a little area I could just peak my head out of to take a shot. First tear arrow took off like 80% of it's health; guess I hit it in the right glowy spot. I fired half a dozen "regular" arrows that did no damage and then I eventually hit a spot that took it down.
My experience with the 2nd was pretty much the same thing, except it only took 3-4 tries. I was busy sniping the humans and didn't know it would destroy the platform out from under me, so I fell to my death. Took a few more tries before I was able to kill most of them first and then rappel down without getting seen. Then I did the same circle strafing and trying to hit it in the glowy/vulnerable bits. Eventually it went down but it probably only took me a few dozen good hits as I've got the charge shot from the DLC and a bunch of purple damage and handling upgrades.
Yeah I used the same strategy for the first one. I just hid behind the wall and it never even saw me as I lobbed arrows at it.
I imagine I'd have an easier time with the second one now that I have some stronger weapons. The most recent story quest I did had a fight against a big machine at the end and I think it only took me one try (maybe two but if it did the first one was like, I died instantly) and was much quicker for me to finish.
