Bruisers are biker units that appear in Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage. They are muscle-bound brutes with a gun, and little regard for personal safety.
Campaign of Carnage Bruisers
- Burner Bruiser (Pete's burners) - The Burner Bruisers among Pete's burners wear yellow pants and pith helmets, but are otherwise bare-chested. They can be found wielding sniper rifles in The Beatdown.
- Burner Bruiser (Torgue Forge) - An unusual type of Burner Bruiser can be found in the Torgue Forge wearing dark pants and a full face mask. Shotguns are their common weapon of choice.
Appearances
Strategy
Bruisers stalk the field of battle at a walking pace, never bothering to seek cover as they rely on their own fortitude to survive a fight. They have very high health for a standard unit and soak up quite a few hits before they die. When engaged at point blank range they may lash out with their free hand, but otherwise don't bother to close the distance to their targets.
Notes
- Killing bruiser units contributes to the Cruising for a Bruising challenge. Such kills are unique among bikers in that they do not count towards Bikers Killed in the Campaign of Carnage challenge list.
- Burner Bruisers in the Torgue Forge use the same character model as the Badass Bruiser in Borderlands.
- In True Vault Hunter Mode they are renamed Crusher, and in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode they are renamed Bone Crusher.
