==Variants==
*'''Nomad''' - The basic Nomad. Nomads wield Assault Rifles and will slowly advance towards their targets and rarely seek cover. They can knock back an enemy with an over-the-shoulder melee attack.

* The basic '''Nomad''' wields an assault rifle and will slowly advance towards his targets, rarely seeking cover. He can knock back an enemy with an over-the-shoulder melee attack.
  +
*[[Badass Nomad]]
*'''Nomad Pyro''' - Fire-resistant Nomads who use a short-range flamethrower to attack their enemies and set them on fire. When an enemy is outside of the flamethrower's range, they switch to assault rifles. Found primarily in [[Frostburn Canyon|Frostburn Canyon]]. They also wear a targetable fuel tank on their back. When the tank is destroyed it explodes like a grenade, instantly killing the Nomad and anything nearby. Pyros are highly resistant to fire elemental attacks, but their packs have no such defense.
 
  +
*[[Butcher_(enemy)|Butcher]] (''[[The Horrible Hunger of the Ravenous Wattle Gobbler]]'')
*'''Shock-Nomadic''' - Shock-resistant Nomads with Tesla coils sticking up over their shoulders, which supply them with shields and can quickly drain the shield of any enemy that draws too close. From a distance they use assault rifles and occasional shock grenades. Like the Pyro, the Shock-Nomadic's pack can be shot, however shooting it does not result in an explosion. Instead, shooting the pack causes it to arc lightning onto anything nearby, and disables the Shock-Nomadic's shield in the process. They will give orders on nearby bandits.
 
  +
*[[Digistruct Blaster Nomad]]
*'''Nomad Torturer''' - Nomads with a Psycho Midget chained to their shield to absorb incoming bullets. The midget can be freed by shooting the three chains that bind it to the shield. After the midget has been freed it will usually turn around and attack the Torturer until it is either killed or it kills its previous captor. However, if the player is close enough to the midget when freed, the midget may instead attack the player first. Freeing the midget also reveals a small hole in the shield that players can fire through to damage the Nomad. Aside from using assault rifles to attack the player from afar, they can also unleash a powerful shield bash when in melee range. Freeing the midget commonly causes the Torturer to use this attack on the midget, providing players a relatively easy opening to attack. They give orders just like the Taskmaster.
 
  +
*[[Heavy Nomad]]
*'''Nomad Taskmaster''' - Nomads who give orders to the other Bandits in the area, improving their combat effectiveness but potentially letting alert players prepare for the imminent shift in tactics. Like the Torturer, the Taskmaster carries a heavy shield that can deflect bullets. However, instead of a midget being strapped to the front, the Taskmaster's shield is outfitted with additional armor plating. This armor plating can also be shot off with enough bullets or explosives. After this armor plating is removed, the player can shoot the Taskmaster through the hole in their shield.
 
  +
*[[Loot Midget Nomad]]
*'''Marshall'''- Duster-clad Nomads that appear in [[Lynchwood]]. About five will appear near the bank when the player blows the bank during and after [[Breaking the Bank]].
 
  +
*[[Marshall]]
*'''Sheriff's Posse''' - Duster-clad Nomads that appear in [[Lynchwood]] as the player progresses through the area's story. They appear during the showdown with the [[Sheriff]], in front of the bank, and sometimes throughout the area riding armored skags.[[File:Badass_Nomad.jpg|thumb|264px|Badass Nomad]]{{clrl}}
 
  +
*[[Midget Nomad]]
*'''Badass Nomad''' - Nomad with a spiked shield that causes extra melee damage. As with Taskmasters, they will give orders to nearby Bandits.
 
  +
*[[Nomad Torturer]]
*'''Heavy Nomad (TVHM)''' - Rarer version of Nomads that carry launchers.
 
  +
*[[Nomad Pyro]]
*'''Midget Raider (TVHM)''' - Behaves like a normal Nomad, but midget-sized. Found exclusively in Lynchwood, Sawtooth Cauldron and Fink's Slaughterhouse.   
 
  +
*[[Shock-Nomadic]]

*[[Nomad Taskmaster]]
==Taskmaster Commands==
 
*''Take cover boys!/Get behind something, idiots!'' - Enemies will take cover.
 
*''Charge him/her boys!/Charge!/Overrun 'em! ''- Enemies will behave like a [[Psycho]] and run up to players and melee them.
 
*''Toss grenades!/'Nades, now!'' -Enemies will throw grenades at the Vault Hunter(s).
 
*''Shoot the short guy!/Shoot the 'zerker! - ''Enemies will focus on a player playing as [[Salvador]]
