Any tips for doing this? Took my alt out and He is Master Rifles, Doc 4-4-4-0, novice Brawler....
I did it ok first time, but a swordsman came not long after I started and was trying to outdamage me - he didn't by the way 
- But as he was kindly tanking it for me I guess I underestimated it.

How do you guys take one out solo, any tips to weapons and techniques?

Get some poison/disease resist buffs, keep it intimidated.. whenever it does disease/poison you warcry and cure yourself..
shouldn't take too long

full buff full composite + brandy and arhisa
with novice brawler you intimidate him
and you spam strafe shot 2 with a good t21
it is pretty easy to kill a gdk

Would you recommend SS2 over HS3?

my easy method to soloing a gdk in 3-4mins:
1) 540+ max t21 (thats a 30%dmg slice non-enhanced t21 on my server) with 33%max/16%min powerups
2) 90% kinetic composite (not necesary nice to have just in case)
3) find gdk spawn, attack with mind shot 2
4) drag gdk to nearest lair of gurks/snorbals, let them tank it
5) stand 50m away pounding with head shot 3. you'll do full damage, as you WONT be stunned, intimmed, blinded etc. thats what the snorbals are for
6) /loot
DO NOT use strafe, as that will kill your poor snorbals
DONT bother with disease resist buffs, as the gdks WILL get you, and its inevitable that you will go home fully black barred and with 1k bf
if some swordsman tries to KS, let him tank it (and let him get intim) whilst you stand back and use strafe (higher damage output).
with powerupped t21 you cant lose

Red9 has the right of it... this is the most effective way to kill GDK's. Since gdk's do area attacks they aggro everything around em so it is easy to get them to fight other creatures on lok.

Cool thanks guys - ill give that a go. Seemed stupid that I can take krayts with little problem andwas getting beaten by something with nearly quarter the HAM.
By the way - do you know if the GDK in Kimo Town drops RIS loot? I heard it doesn't but not too sure.

I usualy use npc's to tank if at all possible, but if thats not working I'll mind poison and bleed the sucker and he then spam headshot 3.
I don't bother with healing as with good buffs you should be fine.

Guys I did it last night, pulled the GDK from Kimo town so I didnt have to worry about the NPC guy there - and then just got the Gurks and other Mobs to tank.... worked a treat.
Thanks for the advice.
No loot that time though - so guess I am gonna have to go out looking for some wild spawns and see if i get any more luck.

Woot for you I can do that as a Rifleman/Ranger. I feel stupid for not coming up with it my self.
