The Technical is a type of drivable vehicle in Borderlands 3. It is a four-wheeled truck with seats for a driver, turret gunner, and two passengers by default.

Overview

The Technical is a heavy-duty truck cobbled together by the Children of the Vault. They are digistructed at Catch-a-Ride terminals throughout Pandora and other worlds, and provide versatile overland transportation. After the Outrunner, it is the second vehicle that players can unlock in Borderlands 3.

Technicals can transport up to four people: one driver, one gunner, and two passengers, enough for an entire team of vault hunters. Although they are slower than Outrunners and Cyclones, they are more durable and can mount more powerful weaponry.

Enemies are also known to drive customized versions of the Technical, 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.
