Flash Trooper

Flash Troopers are enemies encountered in Borderlands 3. As elite soldiers of the Maliwan corporation, Flash Troopers are equipped with backpacks that allow them to move short distances extremely quickly.

Strategy
Flash Troopers are about as durable as a regular Assault Trooper, but possess the ability to move extremely quickly, making them appear to be teleporting. This ability can make them annoying to fight, as they can suddenly teleport away from your sights, or even directly into your face. Although they can take cover, they generally prefer to move around in the open using their teleporting ability. However, their ability to teleport is limited to short distances, and they cannot teleport when staggered by damage or Phasegrasped by Amara.

In addition, they have a key weakness; the device on their backs that makes their teleportation possible. When viewed from the front, the device sticks out from behind their shoulder and can be targeted, or they can simply be flanked to target their device even easier. When damaged, the device will malfunction, sending the Flash Trooper careening into a nearby wall at supersonic speed and instantly killing them.
