*'''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. They are found primarily in [[Frostburn Canyon]]. They also wear a fuel tank on their back that explodes like a grenade when destroyed, instantly killing the nomad and damaging anything nearby. Pyros are highly resistant to fire elemental attacks, but their packs have no such defense.

*'''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 to 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 a Vault Hunter is close enough to the midget when freed, the midget may instead attack the Vault Hunter first. Freeing the midget also reveals a small hole in the shield that attackers can fire through to damage the nomad. Aside from using assault rifles, 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. When enough bullets are unleashed on the nomad's shields, they will occasionally flinch, fall back and raise their shield, also giving attackers an easy opportunity to attack the nomad. 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, attackers can shoot the Taskmaster through the hole in their shield.
