To get the hardcore kill, you need to hit his legs and not let him get hit by his own missiles once. Eventually hitting his legs will cause him to drop as if he was hit by his own missiles, and you can hit his weak points.
Doing this gets you the P.A.X. Imperator V2.0 which is a super version of his regular weapon.

Original poster here, I recorded myself beating him and figured out exactly what causes him to fall.
When he no longer has armour on his feet and is not doing his missile spam, wait under him. He'll try to do his stomp move on you, so hit the leg still on the ground. If you do this then he'll fall over.

The easiest way to do it is, having knocked the covers off both legs, wait for the triple stomp move. Aim to hit the leg that stomps second just as he does his third stomp. It's a long, telegraphed move that even the slowest weapons can take advantage of.

One thing to note is that PAX will jump forward or backward depending on if you're in front or behind it during the missile phase. If you're going for the hardcore kill, pay attention and make sure PAX isn't jumping backwards toward the green windows or the main door. The outcroppings on those walls will block the missiles, causing the explosion to down PAX and negating the hardcore kill requirement.

Do note too that if this happens, you can still try it again if you let P.A.X. kill you, since that resets the attempt.

the front of its legs are weakpoints for knocking it down, just aim for the leg pistons within

Tip for P.A.X Hardcore kill, when he raises his legs to do the stomp after both are de-armored, hit the one that is on the ground, he falls much faster

If you want an easy and fast kill, get the Volatile Spectre from the toxic sewer area before. Elemental absolutely tears through it.

Maybe i wasn't paying attention, but if this PAX is too damaged to even use its main weapon, why do the perfectly normal, factory new PAX in the BC fight have the same attacks? It's obviously to balance the super long boss fight, but is there an explained reason ingame?

Just killed BC, and the PAX unit he summons does indeed fire its main cannon at you, the weapon that exploded on the first boss. In fact you’re supposed to bait it into destroying the two white cylindrical tanks in the room if you want to get the “hardcore” kill on BC. You must simply not have noticed.

IF HIS STAGGER BAR IS FULL AND HE WONT FALL: Had this problem for a while, found no answers online but finally figured it out myself, so I’m here to help those having the same problem. None of the guides anywhere seem to mention this but if you’re going for the 2.0 hardcore kill weapon, what you need to do is get in there and bait the 3-stomp combo, and hit his leg WHILE THE OTHER LEG IS LIFTED. He’ll fall instantly if you attack while he’s standing on one leg, as long as the orange bar is full of course.

It doesn't need to be filled up, just hitting one leg while the other is up will do
