JACK THE DOPPELGANGER BUILD

JACKPOT
Level 70
Digi-Jacks • Survivability
PLAYSTYLE
Jack is one of the DLC characters for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, and he’s easily one of the most fun characters to play with. His abilities serve as a blueprint for characters like Zane in Borderlands 3, and if you’re someone who likes to summon clones, and activate tons of kill skills, this is the build for you. Jack is still primarily an assault character, but this build turns him into an ultimate badass who matches what Handsome Jack would actually feel like as a playable character.
Your game plan with the build isn’t that complicated. You want to activate your action skill as soon as a combat encounter starts, and you want to make sure that you’re actually finishing off enemies to activate kill skills. Don’t just wait for your clones to do all the work, but actively take part in the killing so you have increased damage, fire rate, health, shield, max speed, and more.
SOLO
Jack is a great solo character because he isn’t technically alone thanks to his action skill that summons two digi-clones that serve as excellent distractions, and even damage-dealers thanks to this build. At level 70, Jack becomes fairly unstoppable, and you can take down bosses with this build without breaking a sweat. All the weapons chosen here are useful, and Jack is one of the best DLC characters ever.
COOP
Similarly, Jack is a great ally to have because of his action skill, and kill skills. If you want to make the most out of this build as teammates, you need to leave the killing part to Jack. Damage enemies, but maybe don’t finish them off completely and let Jack activate his kill skills. He doesn’t really need any support beyond the occasional heals here and there, making him a capable character who can stand on his own in basically any team formation.

SKILLS

Merger replaces your regular melee with laser beams which have a 20-second cooldown. Taxation of Trade Routes increases your fire rate by 60%, while Incentives give you a 10% increased fire rate stack every time you swap weapons.
