Nine-Toes

Nine Toes is the first of many Bandit lords. Although he is a Boss he is not insanely difficult to beat.

Background
Nine Toes is one of the Bandit lords. He commands many of the Bandits in the Arid Badlands.

Nine Toes carries a rare and powerful weapon named "The Clipper". It's uncertain how Nine Toes acquired this weapon but it is known that The Clipper is responsible for the loss of one of his toes.

Involvement
Players spend a large portion of the early game building up to Nine Toes. Killing him is a primary quest objective and in order reach him players must first pass through a chain of quests involving encounters with many of Nine Toes' subordinates.

Once killed, Nine Toes has a chance to drop a rare item called "The Clipper", a Vladof weapon with the fire rate of a SMG, and the punch and accuracy of a Pistol. This weapon shoots incendiary rounds and is equipped with a blade that increases melee damage. This is a good weapon for every class; Melee for brick, Elemental damage for Lilith, Accuracy for Mordecai, and fire rate and damage for Roland.

Strategy
He is not very difficult but he does have a large amount of health. Although once he has received some damage he will summon Skag hounds to attack. If you are in a group divert at least one person to Skag defence. It has also been noted that you can climb into the bleachers to avoid the Skags. Aim for head shots to gain extra critical damage and keep moving around the circular room to make yourself a harder target to hit.
