Why FL4K is the Best Vault Hunter in Borderlands 3!

[@Frank_Torre]

As a Moze main I still gotta admit fade away FL4K with the Hellwalker is just so much fun. Basically ANY Jakobs makes FL4K a crit monster. Then Gamma Burst sending your pet off to kill ALL THE THINGS while you stand there dancing shooting nothing at all.

[@gfys707]

Now is that mayham 10?

[@Frank_Torre]

@@gfys707 Mayhem 11. Why bother with Mayhem modifiers. FL4K on any Mayhem lv is still ridiculously OP.

[@naitikgreyman]

@@gfys707 he has his own play style but not weak at all. With right skills his pet becomes damage sponge and revives him constantly. Have you tried monarch on him? Melts everything with fade away.

[@nic2787]

Fun the first 20th times, after those boring af

[@andrewvaldivia6971]

​@@gfys707 you could tell what mayhem lvl by looking at the skull at the bottom of the exp bar it has a number by the skull

[@abmelonhead4]

The absence of discussion for the fourth action skill speaks volumes of its effectiveness…

[@SpartanGameZone]

Unnecessary filler

[@travispoole96]

Try the 50/100 with gravity snare Someone gave me a x3 turtle mad cap and I was hitting at least half a million shield capacity The capstone of the purple tree made me hit 750k It's a very misjudged action skill :(

[@travispoole96]

Basically I run it with that and the skag pet (mainly for gun damage and all sources damage) as war loaders bottom of purple Then revolter shield for that extra destruction

[@Turnoutburndown]

Thank you so much for putting the skills you are talking about on screen, it's so wildly helpful. This is one of the best BL3 tutorial videos I have seen.

[@SpartanGameZone]

You're very welcome!

[@donald984]

Fl4k was the first character i played as in bl3 and is probably my favourite, i like using the clairvoyance, dark army and bekah on him

[@RandyOrton92]

There is actually a way to make Fl4k super tanky without losing damage. I don't know if this is common knowlege, but i never seen a video about it. You only need a Red Fang Classmod (Skills and passives doesn't matter). When you enter a map, lets say guardian takedown, all you need is to activate Gamma Burst with Red Fang one time. After the first gamma burst is over you can switch to any classmod and Action skill you want. The trick is to not use any Gear or skills that will draw the enemy attention again - that will override the Red Fang aggro draw. So don't use "Not my circus" or the Purple "Blind by Anger" arguments, also don't use blue capstone "Domincance" or a "Mesmer" grenade. When you fully go down (to a respawn station), change map, or use any type of aggro draw after you will have to do it again. This will make Fl4k way more tanky and since you can switch all gear after the first Gamma Burst you wont lose damage. Enjoy :)

[@jmegm9790]

I’m going to have to give this a try! Thanks!

[@RandyOrton92]

You are welcome :) If you have any questions on how this works just message me :)

[@naitikgreyman]

I don't understand why people overlook fl4k so much. He's my favourite VH to play as, he's so damn tanky I died the least while playing as him. Pet revives him constantly and is pretty tanky himself, plus you have fade away to really bring out the pain. Bosses melt like butter with fade away + monarch combo. Fl4k best uses the Jacobs weapons especially Hellwalker and Rowan's call.

[@Peter75921]

Yeah truth I’m a flak main, he is a bit squishy but he has so many skills to make it so you never get shot at. And he is good with like any weapon, I’d the weapon is good in general he can wreck with it, and he is so much fun too. He gets overlooked at times.

[@XainArchives]

What's funny is he's the strongest character in the base game, even with two getting massively buffed, with him and moze getting nerfed into the ground. And this is before the DLCs, putting these into the equation there is no character in the game that even remotely comes close to FL4K. Using his best build, which is the purple pet build with gamma skill, you could be on OP 99,999 and there still wouldn't be anything that could stop him. The ones overlooking him are idiots, I'll be over here with my triple sticky grenade one shotting OP10 bosses that don't use that invicibility bullshit.

[@WitchYuki22]

​@XainArchives it's because moze has IB and insane splash damage while zane can run around at 10x speed while melting everyone. Also zane ironically has the eraser skill which should have been on Fl4k since he's the crit master lol

[@XainArchives]

@@WitchYuki22 That last part is true, I know Moze has iron bear, but essentially destroying her skill tree for a different method of playing is stupid. Especially considering she doesn't do the damage FL4K does.

[@Nixdigo]

I think it's because a lot of people picked Fl4k thinking he'd be like Zer0. After a while people realized Zane was closer to what they wanted

[@Gatlinggunman]

Frozen Heart, Rad Stone Static Charge/ Cryo Stone White Elephant, Fish, and the Peregrine. Fl4k goes from POV Bullet-Hell to a slippery homeless man who has trained his pigeons to drop m80's.

[@travispoole96]

I'm using gamma burst active radiation build and it solos everything Not as broken as fade away but it's still good

[@vibespidersstudios8895]

I say the amount of builds with fl4k is insane. You can be a stealth main, guns, or a tank that just melts enemies health bars. Then you can pick what pet you want or abilities and equip slots. Then choosing the elements you want if you want a nuke/ice build (which is my favourite) or a corrosive/lighting build. The potential is endless.

[@jamiezieschang145]

I'm addicted to this game and Fl4k!! I'm gunning for platinum!! This game is hilarious

[@beanshady]

Flak is my go-to. Pure fun!

[@SwordOfPersona]

Restarted a flak playthru and in the area before shiv, I got a legendary Jacob's. It was an Unforgiven.

[@ranchmantubularspacesausag5709]

Monkeys in the fog 😭😭 dope video bro I'm gonna go max out my FLak now

[@ZoraEpsilon571]

favorite part of flak? prozd easily one of the best voice actors in the entire game

[@bellend77]

Love your videos, especially this series. Well done mate.

[@SpartanGameZone]

Hey thanks man!

[@ZachIdso]

The loot that deals 'damage' like the artillery or tesla grenades is also pretty fun to use since he can amp those effects way up. Being kitted out as a jakobs marksman alone though makes him interesting since those weapons are so satisfying to use

[@simounobrien9096]

Hellwalker and fl4k is simply a god send.

[@balboatheboxer]

I just started playing this game today, after playing farcry primal -where you play as the beast master... and dammm G now i see whats ahead 😅😅😅 atleast i had a feeling to choose fl4k at the start because i saw his name is beastmaster so let the power of the beast master continue ...

[@djlykaen]

if only fl4k got a saurian as a pet, still havent tried the loader yet tho

[@tinfoil_frogjohnson7297]

Why didn’t you talk about gamma burst? Unless I’m stupid and I somehow missed it.

[@ChamberpotCharlie]

I have such a hard time deciding whether Moze or Fl4k is my main

Of Course of all the Vault HUNTERS hes actually a Legit Hunter that whats makes him the best Vault HUNTER

[@NitrO5512]

The reason why fl4k is the best hunyer because... The critical BEAM!

[@willheismusical]

With one build you can use 3 of his action skills is my favorite part

[@robsteries]

cool, I did not know that. Is that 2 skills + grenades or?

[@willheismusical]

@@robsteries you can interchange them without switching skills on the trees. Zane if you want the shield you have to change you build if you want to use same iron bear and the ball with amara but flak in one build can swap to the rakk attack fade away and gamma burst/red fang combo

[@robsteries]

@@willheismusical Nice! Well, I've been playing Moze way too long (!!!), then I've finally changed to Zane.(still one add on to play, believe it or not) Next one will be Flak, thx for the insight my friend! Last question, did you get any god rolls so far?

[@willheismusical]

@@robsteries been playing from launch ya I have seen some god rolls but parts don't matter so much they do but not as heavy as bl2. With the right anointments you can do well

[@robsteries]

@@willheismusical True that, man, I rather see them as a sort of trophies in the end, as a way of constant farming. I mean when you have played and played and played, the only price left is a 'god roll' . That's why I asked you. And I'm a 'proud owner' (and all very very very relative, as you know, just a game in the end) of one god roll, and that is a triple re-volter. (I mean, K6 is at 3000 something right now for this one. Imagine the time 'wasted' in a life, to get this). Cool thing about this game is that you can still have something better, for example, I haven't come across the cloning maddening tracker yet.. Lots came clos, but not this one. And this why I think this one is worth keep on playing. Having said that. You are an old school Borderlands player and I am not. I have never played the BL2, ever. Big cheers mate

[@robsteries]

Heeeey whatsup SGZ, I was typing 'best shield for Zane' (as I was constantly playing with Moze) but I couldn't find any links So my question to you, is it possible for you to do a segment on the best shields (nevermind the color) on what shield is best on each of the 4? cheers mate (I know some of the shields will be best on all 4 of them, but still... You have the knowledge, let us get the pearl) ;)

finally a video about fl4k that doesn't misgender them ! the bar is on the floor but thank you for being above it

[@mikzpwnz_3199]

Out of all that stuff in media, I find myself having no qualms with Fl4k. maybe since it's a social-biological issue on one that is not biological in the first place makes it a free pass in my mind. Also I get the feeling that they do t care if you misgender them anyway as their original personality never had the concept in the first place for their function, so it wouldn't become issue in-universe either.
