Defenders are Death Sphere enemies found in Borderlands 3. They are largest of the Death Spheres and come with defensive measures.
Appearances
Strategy
Defenders are equipped with a shield-dome generator. They hover about and generate a large barrier that provides cover for their allies and grants themselves shields. Damaging the barrier will deplete the Defender's shield and eventually break it, stunning the Defender. When the barrier is destroyed, it malfunctions and becomes an Offender. In this form, it will attack Vault Hunters with twin laser cannons.
