In the video game Borderlands 2, the Rough Rider shield is a unique item that provides the user with increased movement speed and damage resistance at the cost of greatly reduced shield capacity. This makes it a popular choice for players who want to be able to move around the battlefield quickly and take more punishment, at the cost of being less protected from enemy fire.
The best use for the Rough Rider is on characters who can benefit from the increased movement speed and damage resistance, such as melee characters or characters who rely on elemental damage. It is also a good choice for players who are confident in their ability to avoid enemy fire, as the reduced shield capacity can be a liability in some situations.
