Malechs are enemies encountered in the Guns, Love, and Tentacles expansion for Borderlands 3. They serve as acolytes and light troopers for the Bonded cult. Malechs have tongue-in-cheek and self-aware quotes in combat.

Appearances

Strategy

Much like other light troops, Malechs will seek cover and engage their opponents from there. They will not bear any shielding, however, a nearby Lifeblood Skrit might provide them another bar of health. They will also occasionally throw grenades or, often, a corrupted heart that will create a puddle of blood. These puddles will lightly heal the Malech so long as the victim is within one.
