Clearing Foundry on Hell on Earth solo.
Basic strategy for the middle/late waves:
(HS = Hunting Shotgun)
Generally use the AA12, it's much safer and you've got plenty of ammo
Don't go wild with it, most enemies die in one or two shots and it can easily hit/kill multiple enemies in one shot
Keep your AA12 fully loaded as much as possible
Use the HS if there's a whole group of fairly weak enemies (Clots, Stalkers, Crawlers, Gorefasts)
Kill Sirens and Husks with double barrel HS blasts if there's time to switch
Quickly switch to another weapon the moment you've fired your HS to avoid seeing the entire reload animation
Keep the doors at the ends of the walkway welded to 100% every wave
Scrakes:
4-5 AA12 shots to make them run, then a HS blast will finish them off
If the distance is big enough you could try killing them with 2 HS blasts
Fleshpounds:
Throw a grenade at their feet, shoot them with the HS, back off and shoot 4-5 AA12 blasts when they come at you
Alternatively, one Pipe Bomb and one HS blast will kill them, but don't drop the Pipe Bomb until you know they're coming, otherwise other enemies might set them off
If you're forced to flee and enrage a Fleshpound, find a doorway as fast as possible and weld the door for 1% behind you, this will force Fleshpounds to stop raging
If it goes wrong:
Back off towards the left, the walkway is very long and should give you plenty of time to fight your way back to the middle
If you've got the doors fully welded, 90% of the time nothing will attempt to break through even if you get pushed all the way back
You can hide in a small alcove right next to the door to avoid Husk shots or Siren screams
If it goes completely wrong, jump over the edge of the walkway, but eventually try to fight your way back up to the top floor
Wow, amazing!
