Guide on how to solo Hyena even if you are low-level:

1. Get an reasonably accurate weapon with enough dps to actually eat through it's shield. It doesn't matter if you can only deal 5% of Hyena's health after unloading a clip: you can buy ammo boxes in the market for your weapon, then equip them in your arsenal (Use them during gameplay by holding down 'Q' and clicking the item). In fact, it doesn't matter if you can't eat through it's shield in a single clip; but the total dps (including reload time) must be high enough to actually drain it's shield and slowly scrap it's health. A non-potatoed MK1-Braton will suffice with only a few mods (ice will help a lot draining the shield, armor piercing will help hurting the health), but you will eat through ammo boxes and it will take a while to take the boss down. Snipers/Bows lack dps for this strategy; Shotguns lack accuracy for this task (the Hek works). A rifle-type weapon, like Braton/Boltor/Gorgon is ideal, but even a semi-automatic secondary like the Lato works.

2. KILL ALL ENEMIES IN THE AREA BEFORE ENGAGING HYENA. It's better if you snipe them while you are out of the battle area, because as long you don't get close enough or directly look at the Hyena, the boss battle will not start.

3. Find an obstacle (column, big box, corridor turn) that you can take cover behind.

4. Bait Hyena into getting into the corner of the obstacle, positioning yourself in the other side of the same corner (you must still being able to clearly see Hyena's leg, but not it's head). The idea is keeping Hyena relatively close to you, while having only half a cover between you both. If you stay too far, Hyena will fire instakilling missiles; if you are too close, Hyena will use it's stomp attack to blow you out of cover.

5. Hyena will only chase you if it is far from you or if it can't have vision of you. If you follow step 4 correctly, Hyena will hold in position and unload it's machinegun into you (since it's near and have vision of you). HOWEVER, since the machinegun is located on it's head, it will miss all it's shots while you will be able to freely attack it's leg. Depending on how well you apply this strategy, Hyena may not attack at all, and just stay drooling there while it dies from you. Just unload your weapon on it's leg, reload, repeat. When suficiently damaged, Hyena will cast a temporary barrier: aim at it's foot in bursts, just to prevent the shield from fully replenishing.

6. Sometimes, out of blue, Hyena will "hiccup" and start walking, changing it's position and spoiling the lock. Reposition according, then repeat step 5 until Hyena dies.
