Unfinished Business Level 2 The Hive
You'll come to this about halfway through the level. Move through rolling boulder area->lava area->water area, and you'll pull yourself out of the water near a doorway flanked by two switches where you should draw your pistols and make a save.
Guide assumes you're using tank controls for this.
Pull the two switches which will open the arena. The arena is shaped like a large oval around a central column of pillars. Run in and head immediately right along the lowest part of the oval, with the pillars on your left. As you get near the end of the pillars do a quick turn with
, the centaurs should be in front of you.
Quickly somersault jump to your left by holding
then tapping 
slightly after as you see Lara's legs bend. Now you will keep holding down and alternate 
and to constantly somersault jump from side to side while always facing the centaurs. The slopes will slowly push you towards the pillars on your right, so occasionally you will need to do two left somersaults in a row to avoid jumping into the pillars and stumbling. You can do this by just holding for two jumps in a row. If you're struggling with the jumping pattern load up another level with early open areas (eg the caves) and practice until you can do it.
Once you've got the entry into the jumping pattern down, all you need to do is hold down
during the jumps to slowly kill the centaurs. The centaurs will simply stand and shoot at you, and your constant jumps should avoid the projectiles. There is a bit of RNG involved in the trajectories so it's possible a stray shot may hit you, if so just reload the save and try again.
There is probably an alternate way to take them out from the doorway, but because it would take much longer and you can't see very well from the doorway I doubt it would be easier.

Tomb Raider Unfinished Business - The Hive (Level 2)
Progress through the level until you find a set of double doors opened by switches on either side. Equip your pistols and head in. The room has an oval shape with a divider in the middle, the two centaurs are on the other side.
I recommend heading to the left, turning to face the long way down the room and position Lara to do a side flip (press Jump then Left or Right, you can hold Jump and press the direction once you land the previous flip as well) starting on the gold/red tiles on the ground. Hold down Fire and if you have a good rhythm, you'll dodge most if not all of their projectiles and eventually whittle them down.
