*Killing an Orc Bushwhacker contributes to the Orcs Should Perish challenge in the challenge list.
*In True Vault Hunter Mode they are renamed Orc Discharger, and in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode they are renamed Orc Detonator.
Orc Bushwhackers use a suicide bomber tactic, rushing at their enemy before blowing up, but are also able to leap great distances in order to explode right on top of a target. Orc Bushwhackers' leaping attacks are hard to avoid, but the damage taken can be reduced by jumping to the side before they land. When an Orc Bushwhacker explodes, the explosion deals heavy damage to anyone nearby.
Orc Bushwhackers should be fought a distance, the further the better due to their great sprinting ability. Their heads are unarmored allowing for critical hits, but the most expedient way to kill an Orc Bushwhacker is to shoot their explosive barrels. This will cause the barrel to explode, instantly killing its carrier and damaging those around him. Orc Bushwhackers are vulnerable to incendiary damage.
