Favourite / Most Hated Borderlands Enemies?

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel BL: TPS Gameplay Discussion (Spoilers!)
#1

Across all 3 titles, what are you guys favourite enemies?

Feel free to specifically choose a Badass version of a specific enemy if you want, and Bosses / Unique Enemies are fair game too.

For me, some standouts are:

Super Badass War Loaders - they look AMAZING and are just blistering with weaponry.

Stalkers - the enemy you love to hate! Well designed, i can never decide whether i love or hate their stealthing.

Spiderants - so many cool varieties, and so fun to kill.

Goliaths - THE EVOLUTION

Kraggons - excellent addition to the BL line of enemies.

The Big Daddy looking bathyscope armour wearing Pirate enemies!

Least faves for me - Buzzards, Stolen Jet Fighters, Scythids, certain Clappy DLC flying enemies, those health regeneration Pirates, certain AoDK skeletons.

Looking forward to detailed replies!

Super Badass Constructor V3.0. “Launching Nuclear Solution.”

Ultimate Badass Surveyors.

Goliaths.

Juggernauts.

All variants of Loaders. I just LOVE Loaders.

Bandit Technicals. It’s fun to blast 'em in The Dust.

And… Actually, I am gonna stop now. The list is just very long.

Least faves:

DAHL Jet Fighter.

Those goddamn things keep pushing me to the space in the Veins of Helios. It’s so frustrating.

Rabid enemies on OP 8.

Were it not for The Rough Rider shield & Breakneck Banshee class mod and Maya with 5/5 fleet, I’d have probably rage quit the Wildlife Exploitation area.

Oh!
Another favourite -

Badmother Machinists.

Damn, those Crimson Lancers were Brutes!

Another least favourite - BL1 Arch Guardians.

#5

What? Arch Guardians in BL 1 are very easy compared to the Guardians in BL Pre seq.

#6

Agreed - especially if you took their heads off with a shock or eridian sniper from range!

#7

Hmmm, i remember they gwve me big problems in BL1 and seemed way too easy in TPS!

#8

Eridian weapons need to return in pre seq. Or BL 3.

BL 2 is OK since we have E-Tech.

#9

On that note, habe any of you guys EVER seen any of the “beyond green” Eridian weapons introduced with the Knoxx DLC?

#10

Nope. Didn’t even know they existed until very recently!

Favorites:
Human enemies - don’t move around like crazy, obvious weak spot

Loaders - don’t rush around, and you can dismember them! How awesome is that?

Spiderants - fun to try get them in their soft, soft abdomen

Varkids - it’s fun to roflstomp them, but still need to pay attention to the pods

Goliath - hilarious dialogue, cool rage mechanic

Nomads - hilarious dialogue, shield is cool gamechanger, especially with the midget on it

Crabworms - special mention, I levelled up twice just going through their cave

Least favorite:
Rabid stalkers - $//#@%¥ #(#¥÷€ jumping all over the place, faster than I can backpedal, messes with my aim in the most annoying way, goddamn HUD effect f@$/=!

Ultimate badass surveyors - a flying enemy with several times more health than a buzzard, shock attacks, and repairs buddies? No thanks. Special mention to their cousin, the badassbug, who shoots at you even when frozen

Ultimate badass insecurity bot - appears in some corner and shoots homing missiles and beam attacks. At least they go down relatively quick. See also RPG loader

Skeleton mage - enemy that can disappear completely, shock attacks, 'nuff said

Lost Legion engineer/wormhole generator - rabid stalker’s little brother, please don’t mess with my movement and aim, for the love of god

Badass constructor - counters everything: immune to all DoTs and slag, deflector shield on his weakspot, ton of health, nova attacks with knockback, beam attacks, homing missile attacks, nuke attacks, spawns minions, one of whom can repair him. Well done GBX, you put everything I hate into one enemy

Ultimate badass glitch - goes completely invulnerable, followed by powerful nova with huge radius. Yeah f$@& you too

Eclipse - Do I even need to give a reason?

Special mention to badass trojans - singularity buzzaxe that pulls you down from the air. Isn’t as annoying as wormhole generator but still

It can be also this one:

Hrrrrmmmmm

Loaders: Come in all kinds of flavours and its always fun to blast their limbs off. Even more fun in Hyperion Slaughter were their many types come together to form a slaughterhouse lol!

Constructors: The swiss army knife of bringing pain, yet they cant wrap their heads around Hyperion Shipping Crates, and Dancing.

Varkids: Ooooo look at the little buggy wuggies… Wait what is it doing… OH GOD ITS BIG NOW lolol aaaaaskjhfdkghfdjkh. Even more fun when there is tonnes of them. If you don’t keep an eye on the pods its chaos time!

Spiderants: Come in many flavors and its a dance to hit them in the butt!

Scythids: These things make me laugh… probably because they look so REDONK when they “fly” xD

Goliath: WELCOME TO DIE!

Haaaaaaaaaaaateeee

Surveyors, especially Digi-Peak ones: Because flying tiny things suck, and ones that can heal a thing to full in a few seconds suck even more!

Badass Flying Bug Thingy in Clappys Head: SO MUCH HEALTH, SO MUCH FLY, SO MUCH CAN CLIP THOUGH GEOMETRY WHYYYY

Rabid Stalker: On OP8, they are a miniboss!

Skeleton Mage: Now you see me, now you don’t, now you see me, now you don’t!

Wormhole Thresher: No Escape!

That Virus that fires a Huge Ass Shock Laser across the Map: Makes much sad!

Constructors: Can end up in HAAATE land when they execute “F-U_Vault_Hunter.EXE” constructing the perfect combination of HELL! Were is my Hyperion Shipping Crate to hide in :<

#19

Damn, almost forgot these guys. Another a-hole who messes with movement,and unlike wormhole generators, their health withstands even several high quality shotgun blasts.
