PLAYSTYLE
Jack is one of the most fun characters in the Borderland series and allows you to live out your fantasy as playing one of the most charismatic villains in gaming. He also has a really fun playstyle because of his action ability, and that’s the focus of the build as well. We’ll be exploring how far you can take the digi-clones at this point of the game, and spoiler alert, they’re mega helpful.
Playing this build is pretty simple. Jack works best at medium to long distances and relies a lot on activating kill skills. However, at this stage, you’ll want to actively make use of digi-clones to deal maximum damage and improve your defense as well. You start a combat encounter by throwing out your clones and dealing damage from a small distance, switch between your gear regularly to get weapon-swapping bonuses.
SOLO
With this build, Jack is extremely powerful at level 50, and there aren’t many bosses that stand a chance against him. He’s also fast on his feet, and his natural affinity with weapons make him a great character to constantly switch between guns, and finish enemies without any added gimmicks or extra requirements. He’s straightforward for the most part, but really strong as well.
COOP
Similarly, Jack is a great character to bring with in co-op because of his digi-clones. They serve as great distractions for the entire team to use, and if you play your cards right, they can help take out practically any boss in the game without breaking a sweat, especially at level 50. Additionally, Jack isn’t a weak character in the slightest, and he doesn’t need any direct support from the team. You don’t need to worry about healing him or boosting his shields so anything extra is just a bonus.
