Strategy

Badass Psychos are much larger than normal varieties, and possess a disproportionately enlarged right arm and a severely stunted left arm. They are armed with a scrap-metal hammer which they use as a club to melee their victims or to throw them at out-of-reach targets. They are surprisingly fast and can inflict heavy damage.

Badass Psychos in Borderlands 3 have a set of new dangerous attacks:

• Quake: The Badass Psycho will slam the ground, causing a grounded quake that travels towards the Vault Hunter. This will pop the victim in the air slightly.
• Spin Attack: The Badass Psycho will spin on the spot, turning into a constant hitbox.
• Flail: The Badass Psycho will slam his hammer multiple times on the ground in different directions.
