Track Its Location
Impalers can end up right on top of you before you know it using their mobility. One way to avoid this is to keep track of its location at all times so that you can anticipate where the boss will come from next.
While playing multiplayer, you can ping the boss to help your teammates keep tabs on its position.
Keep Your Distance
This boss while try to close the gap between you to deal damage, so try to keep a safe distance. When playing as Ninja or just trying to get in close for whatever reason, try staying behind the Impaler as this is a relatively safe spot.
Pay close to your surroundings and use things such as ziplines and your slide to maintain good positioning.

Isolate Them When In Groups
When playing with a group, multiple Impalers will spawn depending on the size of your team. In this case, split up and keep the Impalers away from other enemies while your teammates focus down other threats.

Use Electrical or Acid Damage
Impalers are weak to Electrical and Acid damage, so use weapons or ammunition that use these damage types. Mods like Electric Slugs and Acidic Ammo can be highly effective here.
