LEVELING UP
Level 1 to 32
Digi-Jacks
PLAYSTYLE
Jack is a fun and straightforward character in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. If you’ve bought the DLC, he’s a great choice because he’s easy to play. Unlike Claptrap or Athena, he doesn’t have complex gimmicks or a melee focus. With this leveling up build we’ll boost your gun damage early on so he can handle any enemies with any weapon.
SOLO
Jack is a great choice for solo play thanks to his digi-clones who are essentially two more people in your squad. He has plenty of defensive options to unlock as you progress, but early on, there aren’t many enemies that will give you a lot of trouble. It’s recommended that you use his action skill liberally because the digi-clones give you a lot of room to take down enemies.
COOP
Similarly, Jack is a great character to bring along, and again, it’s the digi-clones potential to serve as loyal distractions that make him a winning choice. He’s also pretty easy to play, with enough defensive and offensive options that other teammates don’t have to constantly provide him with heals, or shield recharges either.
