Combat Engineers are the most common infantry unit deployed by Hyperion in Borderlands 2.

Appearances

• Borderlands 2

Strategy

Combat engineers are equipped with submachine guns and use these at short to medium range. Should an engineer be approached by an attacker, the engineer will attempt to retreat and fight from a safe distance. They are comparatively weaker than most Hyperion personnel, but are effective in small groups, and they are usually deployed alongside more dangerous enemies as support troops.
