Borderlands 3 FL4K Leveling Build Guide (Level 72)

Our Borderlands 3 FL4K Leveling Build Guide features a complete step-by-step leveling guide, mainly focusing on your output of critical damage and aggro relief while keeping the early progression exciting and powerful. By the end of this build, you’ll be using the action skill Fade Away in conjunction with many of the skills that amplify critical damage.

Fl4k is is viable option solo play ! selection trustworthy companions ( Skag is lessen , Jabber , Spiderant , Loader Bot ) , constant pet lessen aggro large groups enemies , taking pressure .

FL4K is also one of the most glass cannon characters in the game. If you are playing out build then one of the most important aspects is making sure to have your Fade Away skill up at all times.

FL4K Full Fade Away Build (Level 72)

Although this build heavily leans on offensive skills, few of Fl4k’s skills in this build compensate forthe lack of survival with tons of HP regeneration and aggro relief. When facing a troubling enemy, just use Fade Away and hold down the trigger. After using your action skill, you’ll be able to regain it in no time with cooldown reduction skills.

The following is the full build you will end up with, but it isn’t how you should level it up initially. We’ve got a step-by-step guide below that features what skills you should have as you level your character!

In the early game, enemies are not that big of a challenge. You can easily focus on pure damage dealing skills. FL4K has a lot of V1 damage skills (these are multiplicative damage bonuses).

The next stage is probably near the end of your first playthrough as this character.

At the beginning of your normal playthrough, you should be around level 40, depending on how much you farm orhow many side quests you finish. This time we will focus on maxing out our second Skill Tree, currently the Hunter Skill Tree.

End Game (Levels 55-72)

To fit this build, I made some adjustments to put out the highest damage possible. I utilized some mechanics from blue Master Skill Tree with some great V1 damage boosts and the newest purple Trapper Skill Tree to get some more utility in reload speed.

The most interesting mechanic here is that we are using one skill (He Bites!) to proc another skill (Frenzy). Enemies that will target our pet will grant us a lot of additional damage.

Skill Points :

• Max out Second Intention (Reload speed)

• Persistance Hunter (Skill duration and damage)
