The Deathbringer is a machine that has a lot of ranged weapons that can bombard Aloy very quickly. To slow down the Deathbringer, destroying some of its weapons is the best approach. This reduces the amount of projectiles going at you, and give you more time to attack other weaknesses.
The Deathbringer has multiple weapons that require it to reload or cool down,. This exposes its heat vents and cooling rods, which you can attack to deal high damage. The machine core can also be exposed at times, which is the machine's main weakpoint that can be used to destroy it.
