A Lance Defender
Lance Defenders wear the same heavy armor as Lance Engineers, making them very durable but also very slow, capable of only moving at a walking pace. In addition to their heavy armor they carry heavy, bullet-proof riot shields. In their other hand they wield a sidearm, usually a Repeater Pistol, Revolver, or SMG. They frequently have shields on top of their heavy armor, adding to their already impressive durability. Like all Crimson Lance they also use grenades. When killed, they frequently drop their weapon, shield, and grenade mod.
Strategy
Lance Defenders show no interest in seeking cover, preferring instead to rely on their highly defensive capability. When under fire they will move slowly forward or back, covering themselves closely with their riot shields, thus presenting a dramatically reduced targeting opportunity for enemies in front of them. They also draw their their shields in closer when reloading
While their shields are bullet-proof and protect a large portion of their body, shots to their shield will cause the Defender to flinch and recoil his shield, making him temporarily vulnerable. Sniper Rifles and automatic weapons are most effective on Defenders. Sniper Rifles can strike with distance precision at their head, while automatic weapons can knock the shield aside and damage the Defender behind. If all else fails, a good Pestilent Defiler can down a defender in seconds, and thus should always be kept on hand incase you are incapped by Lance.
Badass Defenders wear extra-heavy, bullet-proof armor that renders their upper bodies immune to gunfire. As a result, only head shots or foot shots will actually deal damage to Badass Defenders. They do still flinch to both body shots and shield shots, which opens them up for head shots.
