Lancer

Lancers are heavily armored military vehicles used by the Crimson Lance. They are very close in manner, if not the same to an APC, hence the quest OMG APC. They are the only vehicles capable of holding the entire party of four at once, and is the Crimson Lance's primary vehicle when used against the player.

Involvement
They appear as in-game drivable vehicles in the third DLC. The Crimson Lance also utilize them against the Vault hunters on many occasions. They are seen in T-Bone Junction, as well as encountered as enemy vehicles in The Ridgeway and the Crimson Tollway. They become available after the mission OMG APC.

Strategy

 * They are armed with a small forward firing weapon in front and a turret mounted main gun on top. There are four player-controllable seats available: driver, gunner, mine layer, blast seat. The driver, obviously, pilots the vehicle. The gunner seat employs a "two-stage" laser- the projectile starts as a glowing blue energy ball, which quickly speeds up similar to a Longbow grenade. The mine-layer seat allows deployment of land mines, which detonate after a set time period or when triggered. The blast seat emits an omnidirectional, concussive blast in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle.
 * The usual strategies for fighting Out Riders apply, with the addition of avoiding the fast-moving second stage of the laser shot. Attacking a Lancer when on foot is highly inadvisable, as is attacking a normal Out Rider. Lancers often patrol the roadways nearby major Lance roadblocks and will engage anything that comes near.
