How to solo Deadlift in TVHM. The strategy is valid for normal mode as well, and doing it this way should get you Dead Weight and Insulated. And, if you're lucky, Dead Set.
If you're still struggling, take an elemental resist shield.
Basically, you'll need a shock sniper rifle that does around 500 damage, and a shield which has around 1100. Plus, something for killing any moonstucks which come down - a shotgun or powerful pistol will do the job.
Hide behind the beam near the start, and snipe him. Don't worry if he wanders off, he'll come down to that platform eventually, and you're safe until he does.
So, yeah, that's true vault hunter mode Deadlift, in Borderlands the Pre-Sequel (which is almost an anagram of Pre-Squeal, in case you were wondering...)
