I haven't had too much trouble. I play heavily stealth, so I do a lot of crouching, slow moving from stealth flower patch to stealth flower patch (whatever the hell those tall grassy flowery things are called) and do a lot of headshots with my precision arrows and hardened arrows.

It also helps I was able to buy the Shadow Carja Hunter Bow, the Shadow Carja Tripcaster and the Shadow Carja Sharpshot Bow (among the best weapons in the game) as soon as I reached Daytower, making one shot kills almost every time against humans.

Hollow Fort was tough, probably because I was 5 levels below the Fort level and only had plain Carja weapons, so it took a lot of fire traps and shock/explosion tripwires to thin the amount of bandits, to where I could go in and finish the rest off via bow and spear.
