==Sharpshooter==
The [[Sharpshooter]] is one of the more ideal classes for handling the Fleshpound on all difficulties. On some lower difficulties a Sharpshooter can kill a Fleshpound with one headshot from the Crossbow (even with its resistance to that specific weapon), and both the [[Lever-action rifle]] and [[M14 EBR]] deal an impressive amount of damage with repeated headshots, decapitating him in 2.5 to 5 seconds. While the single 9mm and [[Handcannon]] are not encouraged, if the Sharpshooter suddenly finds himself face to face with one, the high rate of fire of Dual Handcannons or Dual [[.44 Magnum]]s can possibly save the Sharpshooter's life. While on Suicidal, the pistols are nearly essential for Fleshpound removal, but the massive bonus the Fleshpound receives against them on Hell on Earth makes pistols nearly useless, and makes soloing Sharpshooter far riskier.
However, it's possible to use 2 pair of strong dual pistols by switching like Handcannons and [[.44 Magnum]]s together to decap a Fleshpound at Hell on Earth 6-player. It's a risky move and requires experience with dual pistols to score accurate headshots as well as weakening his head health abit before starting to unload 4 magazines of pistol rounds and switching to the other pair before the first one run out of bullets.

In solo play it is still possible to simply kite them along until you have sufficient range to fire the 2-3 crossbow bolts or 6-7 LaR rounds that are required to decap them, and at higher difficulty levels you can kite safely by using the M14 and cutting eye-sight. Keep in mind that once hit from the head by a Crossbow bolt or Lever-action Rifle - if the Fleshpound isn't killed outright - it will instantly rage and target you. Lining up another headshot is difficult (but not impossible) while in this state, but it's recommended that you ensure your safety first before lining up a second shot. When using the Crossbow it is recommended to keep your distance, especially on Hell on Earth difficulty; there should be at least 25 meters between you and the Fleshpound before you aim for a headshot. After scoring 3 bolt headshots it's possible to decap the FP with a mere Handcannon headshot then unloading the rest of the magazine to its body. 

In Suicidal and Hell on Earth difficulty, the Lever-action Rifle and M14 EBR have more DPS than the Crossbow due to Fleshpound's resistances, and decapitate this specimen considerably faster with a greater number of quicker shots. Roughly 6-7 Lever-action head shots is enough to kill a Fleshpound, but the Fleshpound will be enraged with your first head shot. You can decapitate the Fleshpound with about 10 head shots from the M14EBR during his enraging animation if you're quick. Before attempting to finish him with the Lever-action rifle it would be smart to chip his head health with M14 or Handcannon first.

The [[M99 AMR]], while heavy, is capable of taking a Fleshpound's head off in one shot on all difficulties with under 3 players. Even if the first shot doesn't kill it, however, it will still weaken the Fleshpound enough for it to be finished off, either by a follow-up shot or by teammates. Because of the M99's slow reload, it is best to engage the Fleshpound at long ranges, leaving enough time to reload for a follow-up shot.
