Outrunners are known to be at least partially designed by
Pandora's resident mechanic,
Scooter. They are
digistructed at
Catch-a-Ride terminals throughout Pandora and provide versatile overland transportation. These will be the first types of vehicles available to players during the course of
Borderlands and
Borderlands 2.
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.
Bandits are also known to drive a version of the Outrunner, known as an
Out Rider, and use these vehicles in the open expanses of
The Dahl Headlands and
The Salt Flats.
