Armored enemies?

[Bewildered Beast]

Is there a different colored health bar for enemies with armor? Like when they have shields? Or should I just assume that anything with a lot of hits points is armored?

blue is shield red is health

[Bewildered Beast]

So there's no green or grey bar or whatever color for armor? How do you know whether to hit it with corrosive other than if they look armored (red lance, etc)

was this in borderlands 1 or 2? I have come accross plenty of corrosive weapons but no armored ones, I'm in Dahl Headlands so not far into the game, but no enemies with yellow health bars.

there are enemies who have weakness to corrosive. some of which are armoured.
but there is not a silly yellow healthbar. (some even have armoured in their name!)

you just have to know the enemies. most are pretty obvious though. so if you can see flesh burn it. if it has a strong shield zap it. if it looks metalic or carapace etc dissolve it.

enemies of an element (eg burning psychos) are resistant to their element. some to a great extent. corrosive enemies have a weakness to fire and fire a weakness to acid. electric is for shields. explosive is tricky. it kind of isn't strong against anyone but isn't weak either - there are exceptions (can't think of specifics).

a corroding enemy is somewhat weakened - they will take more damage. so if you can start acid procs on them, switch to another gun and smash them. i think explosive is good here.

this is mostly bro science. many hours in the game. but i don't recall the exact details. just wikia if you're unsure.

the only ones with armor are the lance army

Thank you so much! You were immensely helpful! All the info I could find was related to BL2, after some trial and error I seem to be getting a hang of it. I was about to sell a pretty good corrosive shotgun for the inventory space, now it's a mainstay until I get a replacement!
