| Background
| - The Crimson Lance Assassin squadron was originally formulated as a method of reducing the PR fallout from Admiral Mikey's infamous "girls are stupid" re-election campaign . In an effort to show that the Atlas corporation held great respect and affection for its female employees, the Crimson Lance was ordered to kidnap and torture several dozen young girls with the intent of eventually turning them into unstoppable assassins. Though this move was highly criticized by those relatively few residents on Pandora who find child trafficking distasteful, the operation was a great success for the Lance; the Assassins remain their most prolific and efficient killers, and their 'lack of family ties' makes them remarkably loyal to the Atlas corporation and its principles. Additionally, the use of their image on promotional paraphernalia is a significant boon to both the company's image and its enlistment numbers.
For potentially disrupting Atlas' monopoly on alien weapon technology, Atlas posts wanted posters of the Vault hunters and employs the Crimson Lance and their assassins to hunt them down.

| Strategy
| - Lance Assassins are armed with two plasma swords for melee and shuriken for ranged combat.
Although possessing high movement speed and dealing heavy damage, they have relatively low health and can be taken out with a few critical hit from a sniper rifle, and are severely slowed when dazed. If landing a critical hit proves to be difficult, corrosive attacks from weapons, grenades or Action Skills are very effective, even against badasses and Omega Assassins.
A good tactic to employ in order to minimize damage taken from Assassins is to stay out of melee range, while laying down constant fire, as Assassins will not use their ranged attacks when stunned or dazed. Use obstacles to keep your distance.
It is possible for Lance Assassins to get stuck on objects while doing their high speed maneuvers. As amusing as this may be, use the opportunity to quickly finish them off as it is both possible and likely that they will extricate themselves. thumb
Badass Assassins
Badass versions of the Lance Assassins may appear but they are very rare. They wear black armor rather than the red armor of the regular Lance Assassins. They have a ranged attack that they throw spikes at medium range. Badass Lance Assassins may appear in the respawnable group of assassins at the southern Lance blockade in The Ridgeway or just before the Crimson Armory at the Road's End.
