Jackenstein fights like a Bullymong. He thows objects (including giant corrosion gas canisters), does long-range leaps to close in, and attacks at melee range. The first part of the battle is the most difficult--Jackenstein has a shield generator on each shoulder and his skin bounces bullets and other projectiles, meaning you have to target the generators. On the upside, the generators are critical hit points. Try using a strong Jakobs weapon, like a good-class revolver or a high-critical damage sniper rifle, to bring them down quickly. Just make sure to target both of them--weaken one generator, then destroy the others. After one generator is destroyed, Jackenstein will flee for a minute or so, and let Hyperion loaders of various kinds fight you. This is a chance to resupply with ammo and grenades and health. Whether or not the loader wave has been completely destroyed, Jackenstein will drop back down and the other generator has to be destroyed, which will bring on another break for a loader wave. Finally, Jackenstein will drop down and his chest plate will sometimes open up--this is his main critical spot at this part of the battle. Attack it and stay out of the way of his energy blasts.
