....Ok ok, the first kill isn't legit - Brabus can get bugged sometimes so his HP doesn't scale properly, probably due to his friendly status not switching over fast enough - firing a Gravcore as soon as you pass through the fog gate seems to pretty reliably set him at his unscaled HP level - you'll notice it working usually when the direct hit doesn't do any damage at all.
For the proper kill, I ended up taking the Warlord approach - while glass cannon is certainly possible and would be faster, dodging the constantly respawning hitscan adds / hiding behind the Fridge of Tranquility whilst trying to chase down Brabus is just too frustrating.
[ETS] Rules:
- Timer starts on 1st hit on the Boss / anything that does or allows damage to the Boss when destroyed
- No Devouring Loop or Beam Rifle (until patch)
- No loadout swapping once you're through the fog gate
- No buff-stacking via equipment swaps.

Build:
Warlord Set // Hangman's Memento // Braided Thorns + Burden of the Warlord
Shotgun + Hunter's Mark // Sawed-off + Blizzard // Butcher's Flail
Because Warlord loses out on Last Resort's bonus damage on low health, it tends to be a little slower than a glass cannon approach with a proper DPS armour - but when the adds start to become too much of a distraction, that leech-tankability will end up saving you all that dodging time.
While Blizzard gets no mod buff from Warlord, it does enough damage to clear most of the bandits and activate my Hangman's + Braided, and also applying Freeze to Brabus for that 1.2x dmg on crit, which I capitalise on by getting my pumping my crit rate with Hunter's Mark.
One of the adds scores a friendly fire hit on Brabus right at the start - but comparing it with the overkill damage on my last shot, it wouldn't have made a difference to the TTK, so I've left that off the timer. As for that random death after the kill - I was a little surprised by the adds remaining aggroed, as I'm used to them all walking away passive-aggressively...Plz no DQ!
