I must have gotten lucky. Got the Systems Blueprint on my 2nd or 3rd run, but nothing else yet after a good 20+ solo runs.

From my experience thus far, soloing him is relatively simple. I would agree with what was previously mentioned for soloing him at low levels, which is to bring a rifle (preferably something with a nice, high fire rate and a large enough clip that you can take out a leg and continue to unload on him until he gets back up without reloading) and optionally have some extra rifle ammo. Yes, it drops from the rails above, but not nearly fast enough to replenish what you use, so you'll end up wasting time whittling him down with a pistol until you build up some more rifle ammo. You'll probably make more per run than the cost of the ammo.

Alternatively, you can try to conserve rifle ammo for the boss fight by using mostly your sidearm and melee attacks to clear the level up to Jackal.

Good luck, Rhino hunters.
