Nomad

Nomads are a type of enemy in Borderlands 2. They are slow-moving bandits with some sporting large shields that provide nearly full cover while allowing the Nomad to remain mobile. Some Nomads will simply carry a gun, with no shield, whereas others still will dual wield a pair of guns.

Variants

 * Nomad - The basic Nomad. Nomads wield Assault Rifles and will slowly advance towards their targets and rarely seek cover. Can knock back a target with an over-the-shoulder melee attack.
 * Nomad Pyro - Fire-resistant Nomads who use a short-range flamethrower to attack their enemies and set them on fire. When an enemy is outside of the flamethrower's range, they switch to assault rifles. They also wear a targetable fuel tank on their back. When the tank is destroyed it explodes like a grenade, instantly killing the Nomad and anything nearby. Pyros are highly resistant to fire elemental attacks, but their packs have no such defense.
 * Shock-Nomadic - Nomads with Tesla coils sticking up over their shoulders, which supply them with shields and can quickly drain the shield of any enemy that draws too close. From a distance they use assault rifles and occasional shock grenades. Like the Pyro, the Shock-Nomadic's pack can be shot, however shooting it does not result in an explosion. Instead, shooting the pack causes it to arc lightning onto anything nearby, and disables the Shock-Nomadic's shield in the process.
 * Nomad Torturer - Nomads with a Psycho Midget chained to their shield to absorb incoming bullets. The midget can be freed by shooting the three chains that bind it to the shield. After the midget has been freed it will usually turn around and attack the Torturer until it is either killed or it kills its previous captor. However, if the player is close enough to the midget when freed, the midget may instead attack the player first. Freeing the midget also reveals a small hole in the shield that players can fire through to damage the Nomad. Aside from using assault rifles to attack the player from afar, they can also unleash a powerful shield bash when in melee range. Freeing the midget commonly causes the Torturer to use this attack on the midget, providing players a relatively easy opening to attack.
 * Nomad Taskmaster - Nomads who give orders to the other Bandits in the area, improving their combat effectiveness but potentially letting alert players prepare for the imminent shift in tactics. Like the Torturer, the Taskmaster carries a heavy shield that can deflect bullets. However, instead of a midget being strapped to the front, the Taskmaster's shield is outfitted with additional armor plating. This armor plating can also be shot off with enough bullets or explosives. After this armor plating is removed, the player can shoot the Taskmaster through the hole in their shield.
 * Sheriff's Posse - Duster-clad Nomads that appear in Lynchwood as the player progresses through the area's story. They appear during the showdown with the Sheriff, in front of the bank, and sometimes throughout the area riding armored skags.
 * Deputy Winger - The Sheriff's second-in-command, who was deputized at gunpoint and evidently hates his job. He may be killed during the showdown with the Sheriff, but shooting him fails the bonus objective. If he is spared, he will surrender and award the player with a unique relic.
 * Badass Nomad - Nomad with a spiked shield that causes extra melee damage. As with Taskmasters, they will give orders to nearby Bandits.
 * Heavy Nomad (TVHM) - Rarer version of Nomads that carry launchers.
 * Midget Raider (TVHM) - Behaves like a normal Nomad, but midget-sized. Found exclusively in Lynchwood, Sawtooth Cauldron and Fink's Slaughterhouse.
