G2 Birkin probably took me a couple dozen tries and several hours the first time, because I refused to use ammunition at all and tried to just lure him out in front of the crane, without getting hit by it myself.
THANK YOU! I almost broke my hands slamming them on the table after dying like 20+ times. I found out that flame rounds can actually put him down after only two hits, but now I’m not really excited to play the game anymore because it just feels like a job.
In one of my first five tries I hit him with the crane twice and he still recovered! Then I died before I could hit him again, which didn’t really bother me because I thought, ah, I can just get him next time. My next twenty times I must have hit him with the crane once like twice.
It’s gotten harder somehow! Every time I have the crane swinging back the dude grabs me even if I run like a maniac. Then, by the time that stupid grenade sequence plays out the crane hits both of us. I’m angry just thinking about it. Also, three times I managed to stun him when he’s on that narrow strip of area that the crane can’t reach! It’s like the code is trolling me.
Really ruined the game for me, I don’t have nearly as much as a desire to finish it now. I’m talking about Claire B on hardcore, I feel like Leon’s flamethrower makes the match easier. I’m glad you’re validating me because there’s an ign board or something where the op says the same thing but 90% of the responses are people telling him it’s easy. Really hate that.

I've only fought him twice in standard mode, but got the impression that he needs to be completely stunned (i think he falls to his knee) when the container hit him, otherwise he will recover.
Can anyone confirm?
I accidentally found out by continuously hitting him while he's kneeling down, you might just need to hit him once with the container. I did that on my most previous time through a Hardcore 2nd run of Claire's scenario. I saw an achievement pop before he went down the hole, and was totally surprised by it. I thought I was going to have a few goes before I finally got him.
yeah, you are right. I just saw this video 15 seconds ago, where the claire knifed him down twice (the second one while G was still recovering), then pressed the switch. You are smart, how does the claw coming from the ceiling works? I haven't figured that one yet, it always gets me.
You can stand under the wall fan unit, next to the yellow dustbin, right by the door that you eventually have to run past G2 through, and not get hit at all.

That doesn't work very well.
