Very little facts are known about the man called the Wastewalker by the locals of Pandora. Rumors say that his family was one of the first to arrive on the initial pilgrimage to the wild and nearly uninhabitable planet. Nobody knows what he looks like underneath the worn and scarred mask, or even what his true voice sounds like. He is a man of few words, and when he does speak, it is masked by a vocal scrambler so that even a possible accent is disguised. It is known that he wanders the outskirts of the Pandorian settlements, taking various bounty board jobs as they become available. He has a knack for accepting assassination jobs, especially against high-ranking Bandit leaders. His true purpose for doing so is unknown, though some rumors circulate that he was once a member of a Bandit clan several years ago and that his lover was captured in a raid and that he has been looking for her ever since.

A master of camouflage, he can blend in almost seamlessly with most natural surroundings. He appears to be proficient with most weapon types, but prefers a specially modified Eridium sniper cannon for long range engagements,and Vladof assault rifles for medium range skirmishes. For close quarters and melee engagements, a heavy axslung across his back makes short and bloody work of any enemies foolish enough to let him get close.

Video surveillance taken from a Hyperion facility records an attack by a masked and hooded figure wielding a large E-Tech powered rifle. The footage shows that the rifle is capable of multiple select-fire settings. Single shot, burst fire, fully automatic and sustained suppression have all been documented. The weapon does not appear to accept any known form of detachable magazine, but it is speculated that a compressed reserve or eridium is somehow stored within the rifle, and requires time to recharge after extended use. The gun also sports a folding bipod and a under-mounted foregrip for added stability during fights that require that the Wastewalker remain mobile.

Beyond these few rudimentary details, little else is known at this time, though more information will be added to this datalog as it becomes available.

This idea came to me as I was playing Borderlands 2. I've always wanted to make a post apocalyptic style character, and I liked the idea of having a mysterious masked bounty hunter like Boba Fett. I was inspired by Ashley Wood's World War Robot series of figures, and tried to incorporate elements of Borderlands and 3A into the figure.

The sniper rifle has a custom silencer, scope, and paint scheme. I weathered the original 3A Punter Bot Sniper rifle and cut it down by about 3 inches, melded it back together and gave it some camouflage tape to hide the seam. I also added the foregrip on the bottom. The bipod still functions normally too. The grip also had to be sanded down heavily to fit into the HT Captain America hands. It works well and looks really good in person. I heavily weathered everything that you see and wrapped the axe handle in some thin cloth for a better grip. I added the strap to the M4 CQBR and weathered it a bit. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! As always, please give me some feedback, positive or negative!
