Torgue's Forge Blast Brings NEW Bad Guys to Challenge Your Badasses!

In Torgue's Forge Blast, Mister Torgue’s loaders antagonize our Vault Hunters by unloading a mountain of pain upon them! Do you have what it takes to bear the load and find victory in the arena against these mad machines of mayhem?

The Torgue Exploder is a walking fireworks show of pure mayhem. Packed with high-powered explosives, it charges into battle and explodes in a glorious blast when it takes enough damage.

While its movement speed is rather slow, it can gain extra movement during Special orders and attack Fumbles. It’s best to take out Torgue Exploders at long range since they deal a wound to all Vault Hunters up to one zone away.

Don’t let their slow speed stat fool you, they can lurch forward with Special orders or when someone Fumbles an attack. Take them out from a distance, or risk eating a face full of boom, because when their power core overloads, everyone within a zone gets a taste of the kaboom buffet!

The Torgue Gunner blasts anything in sight with rapid attacks. Gunners are all about overkill and get even more dangerous when they acquire their target during Special orders. With only 5 defense and one hit point, they’re great targets for a glorious Fight For Your Life comeback!

The Torgue Bolter is built for chaos and collateral damage. This flying death machine  doesn’t aim for precision, it aims for spectacle.

Bolters take the fight to the skies by transforming into jets that scream across the battlefield, raining down rocket barrages in strafing runs. Their ranged attacks gain Incendiary so every blast has a chance to set you ablaze and turn the battlefield into a flaming nightmare. They can even fly over full zones but cannot end their movement in them. When they spot a target up close, they slam down with a boom, shift into towering bipedal bots, and engage in melee attacks. 

Torgue Burners turn the arena into a blazing inferno, unleashing flamethrowers and firebombs with wild abandon. If it’s not on fire, it’s not done yet.

All of their attacks gain Incendiary and can turn Vault Hunters into crispy hero jerky regardless of whether or not the attack succeeded. Their Special order turns the ground into a BBQ pit where any Vault Hunter who so much as touches it gets slapped with a Burning token, no questions asked. Fortunately, a lucky Cleanup Roll can douse the flames, but don’t let your guard down. When Burners light things up, the whole arena turns into a blazing deathtrap just waiting to roast careless Vault Hunters.

The Torgue Charger crashes into battle with unstoppable force and explosive fury. With sheer speed and raw power, this heavy hitter turns every collision into a deadly confrontation.

Keep your distance and Chargers are just loud, angry machines with bad manners. If you get too close, they turn into an extremely dangerous demolition derby. These reckless bruisers ignore who’s in the Spotlight and target the nearest Vault Hunter. They bulldoze into the zone and deal wounds to every Vault Hunter there. After the damage is done, all Vault Hunters get pushed out into adjacent zones, potentially wrecking your plans for next turn.

Chargers might not be the biggest baddies around, with fairly low defense and hit points. But don’t let that fool you; their shields can turn them into real juggernauts if you’re not careful. Once you blast through a Charger’s shields, take them out fast before they recharge and come bulldozing back on a demolition spree!

Torgue Ripper 

The Torgue Ripper is a melee maniac revved up for mayhem, tearing through opponents with close-quarters carnage. 

The Ripper’s defense is a pitiful 4, so even your weakest red Action tokens have a good shot at landing a hit. But be warned because hitting the Ripper can feel like punching a buzzsaw. Thanks to its nasty Reflect Attack ability, it rolls the same color die you used, and if it beats your roll, you also take some damage. The good news is that Reflect Attack doesn’t trigger when your attack takes the Ripper out. Using a Deadly attack to deal an additional wound or effect that deals wounds outside of the attack like a Burning token can avoid getting shredded. 

The Badass Torgue Eliminator is an armored menace with a vendetta, built to delete Vault Hunters with brutal precision and maximum incineration.

As if getting blasted by rapid attacks wasn’t brutal enough, Eliminators use Incendiary rounds that crank up your chances of gaining a Burning token. Fumble an attack or defense roll? Tough luck, you’re on fire. When this inferno machine triggers its Rain of Fire during Special orders, the whole area goes up in flames, forcing you to survive a Strength 7 attack or light up like a human candle on your birthday. Whether you're laughing at your flaming teammate or barely escaping the blaze yourself, Eliminators turn every fight into a flame-filled thrill ride.

We’ll keep revealing more about these new ways to experience Mister Torgue’s Arena of Badassery in future updates and during the campaign. If you’re a fresh recruit or a veteran looking for the ultimate showdown, this is your chance to prove just how badass you really are!
