Strategy
Typhon is a Lance Defender with Master McCloud's facial model and increased health. He dishes out a substantial amount of damage, and the three or so Lance troopers that come up the elevator behind him only make matters worse. The best way to deal with Typhon is to throw a grenade with some sort of elemental grenade mod (Shock is recommended for shield damage, but anything elemental works well), and when his strong shields are gone, hit him with Corrosive weapons.
Another option is to use a Monster and not even leave the roadway until he is dead. Typhon is present on the map as soon as his associated mission is accepted, whereas his guards only spawn when he is approached; he can be targeted by the driver even though there is no line of sight. Missiles can be lobbed over the wall to home in on him and eliminate him easily. Without Typhon filling the air with bouncing bullets, his guards are much easier to dispatch should his unique SMG be claimed afterward.
Guaranteed Drops
When Typhon is killed, he drops the "Typhoon" SMG. Its red text effect, Phooon! causes it to shoot bullets that ricochet and spin. In addition, they break into three total bullets after a 2-3 second period of flight time.
