Nomad (Borderlands)

**Nomad**are enemies in *Borderlands 2.*They are slow-moving bandits with high health and some Nomads wield large, bulletproof shields that provide nearly full cover. Most Nomads will only carry a gun whereas others will duel wield a pair of guns.

## Variants

* **Nomad:**Basic Nomads that wield assault rifles and will slowly advanced towards their targets, rarely seeking cover and can knock back their target with an over-the-shoulder melee attack.
* **Nomad Pyro:**Nomads that wear fire-resistant armor and wield flamethrowers, switching to assault rifles to engage targets outside the flamethrower's range. The fuel tank on a Pyro's back is a critical hit location; when destroyed, the tank explodes, killing the enemy instantly.
* **Shock-Nomadic:**Nomads that have Tesla coils backpacks providing them with shields and rapidly damage the shields of nearby targets. From a distance they use assault rifles and occasional shock grenades. Like the Pyro, the Shock-Nomadic's pack can be destroyed; arcing lightning onto anything nearby and disables their shield in the process. They will give orders to nearby bandits.
* **Nomad Taskmaster:**Nomads that give orders to other bandits in the area, improving their combat effectiviness but potentially letting alert targets prepare for the imminent shift in tactics. Taskmasters carry heavy armored shields that can deflect bullets and the armor plating can be shot off with enough bullets and explosives. After the armor plating is removed, attackers can shoot the Taskmaster through the hole in their shield. If a Taskmaster absorbs enough damage on his shield, he may recoil, opening him up to attack from the front.
* **Nomad Torturer:**Identical to Taskmasters except for the Psycho Midgets chained to his shield to absorb incoming bullets. Shooting the three chains that bind the midget to the shield will free him, allowing him to attack his tormentor if the target isn't close enough to draw their attention. Freeing the midget also reveals a small hole in the shield that attackers can shoot through to attack the Nomad. Aside from using assault rifles, they also unleash a powerful shield bash when in melee range.
* **Marshall:**Nomads that serve as the Sheriff's muscle.
* **Sheriff's Posse:**Nomads that accompany the Sheriff.
* **Badass Nomad:**Stronger Nomad Taskmasters with spikes on their shields.
* **Heavy Nomad:**Nomads that carry rocket launchers.
* **Midget Raider:**Midget versions of regular Nomads.
* **Loot Midget Nomad:**Loot midget Nomads where their spawn is natural but are extremely rare.

* **Bad Maw:**A Nomad Torturer in the main story where he guards the Bloodshot Stronghold's entrance.
* **Captain Flynt:**A miniboss in the main story and leader of the Flesh Rippers.
* **Doc Mercy:**A shielded Nomad using E-Tech weaponry in Medical Mystery.
