Level 50
No DLC* • Critical
PLAYSTYLE
FL4K is the beastmaster of Borderlands 3, but keeping dangerous pets and using them for destruction isn’t his only forte. FL4K is also an excellent marksman, and if you’re looking for a build that’s high on critical and gun damage, it’s hard to go wrong with this at level 50. Bonus points if you like using pistols because you can essentially use that with unlimited ammo and melt the entire healthbars of bosses.
Your game plan is simple. Against mobs, you’ll want to use your regular shotgun to score nearly all critical hits and finish off enemies without breaking a sweat. When facing a boss, Fade Away is your best friend. This action skill turns you invisible, and pairs insanely well with the Queen’s Call pistol. You can keep shooting throughout the duration of the action skill and finish off bosses like it’s nothing.
SOLO
This is an amazing build for solo play, and arguably the strongest route FL4K can go in. The critical damage potential is off the charts here, and FL4K becomes a walking death machine that can literally go against basically any enemy and boss at level 50 without feeling the need to readjust their gear, or skill point distribution. Their critical damage bonus is the reason FL4K is picked so often, and it’s hard not to see why.
COOP
FL4K’s damage potential is so high with this build that bringing them along in co-op basically makes the entire campaign and beyond a cakewalk. Any support is appreciated, but they don’t really need it. Thanks to the critical damage, there’s a very good chance that FL4K might just be the most hard-hitting character on the team. Additionally, thanks to the Gunslinger Jabber being on the team, the pet essentially acts as another unit.
