The Outrunner, or "Runner," is a type of drivable vehicle. Its appearance is that of a dune buggy with a mounted turret.
Overview
Outrunners were known to be at least partially designed by Pandora's resident mechanic, Scooter, but his sister Ellie has since taken over the project. They are digistructed at Catch-a-Ride terminals throughout Pandora and provide versatile overland transportation. These will be the first type of vehicles available to players during the course of Borderlands 3.
Outrunners can seat up to two people; one to drive and one to man the turret. They have a durable suspension, allowing large jumps with minimal vehicle damage. They are also equipped with afterburners mounted to the rear of the runner, allowing temporary faster movement speed at the cost of maneuverability.
Enemies are also known to drive customized versions of the Outrunner, and they can be found in the open areas of Pandora, the swamps of Eden-6, the streets and sewers of Promethea, and the dried seabed of Desolation's Edge on Nekrotafeyo
Like all player-controlled vehicles in Borderlands 3, alternative parts can be unlocked by finding or hijacking vehicles equipped with them and returning them to a Catch-A-Ride station.
Driver Weapon
When being driven alone, the player can fire the forward machine gun (R2, right trigger, left mouse) as well as the turret (L2, left trigger, right mouse). However, manning the turret seat provides the turret weapon with greater accuracy, which is reflected in tighter crosshairs, compared to using the turret from the driver's seat. A single player can press a button to switch between the driver and gunner seats, or two players can switch, one using the switch key and the other keying to confirm the switch.
Of particular note - the Tesla Coil weapon is exceptionally useful when trying to disable enemy vehicles for capture, as it can kill the driver and/or passengers before destroying the vehicle.
