For the enemy type in Borderlands 3, see Nomad Taskmaster (Borderlands 3).

Nomad Taskmaster is an enemy of the nomad type encountered in Borderlands 2. He is very rare sight and mostly encountered in Bloodshot Stronghold.

Appearances

Strategy

The Nomad Taskmaster gives orders to the other bandits in the area, improving their combat effectiveness but potentially letting alert Vault Hunters prepare for the imminent shift in tactics. The Taskmaster carries a heavy armored shield that can deflect bullets. 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. If a Taskmaster absorbs enough damage on his shield, he may recoil, opening him up to attack from the front. While issuing orders, Taskmaster will put his shield aside opening himself for easy shots. Distractions such as Axton's turret will allow an attacker to flank the shield.
