Is this printed somewhere or with screenshots so I don't have to watch a 20 minute video on the theory behind it? Shut up and show the build screens!
@@TheRealEasy1 you are sad :D
@@johnis3509 you are very sad.
I guess it's quite off topic but do anybody know a good site to stream newly released series online?
@Emiliano Marshall flixportal xD
I’m glad there’s someone who actually gives insight on why you like/dislike certain skills. Plus you showed weapons for this build, and I can now get an idea on what weapons I should be using. Thank you
Great explanation. Well put together!!! Now I know how to build my fl4k
Most helpful video I have come across for beastmaster. Thank you! Keep up the great work, hope I can catch the live stream soon.
Great build. Thank you for taking the time to make the video.
Thanks for the vid I will be trying this build
Had the game from release but recently returned to it, this video was a very nice refresh and very informative, definitely gained a sub.
Thanks for this bud. Still getting to grips with the character build (still low level) but stripping it back and building from scratch with commentary for us is brilliant and much appreciated. So much easier and works really well. Looking forward to giving this a crack later. Can you respec at any time? I ask as I haven’t attempted it yet. Cheers. ;)
Hope you guys enjoyed the video, here's a link to the build if you'd like to be able to see it easier!
Sorry for the spoiler at the beginning. Edit: I trimmed the beginning so the spoiler is omitted, that's why there's an awkward skip in the intro.

You spoiled it less than a minute in.
I have to disagree with you on hidden machine. You go invisible with your action skill making you automatically having 30% extra damage during that time because you're not being targeted. Even in solo that damage is very apparent and I'm not sure why you wouldn't spec into that.
As well as not using The Power Inside? How are you going to pass on 50% extra damage?! I'm so confused lol. You're legit missing out on a total of 80% EXTRA damage with not speccing into those.
@@jasonhill8191 somebody else asked this, read my response below.
Yeah I still have to disagree. At max level and fighting bosses right now the perks are still beast. We have very similar builds, but on almost all mobs and bosses they still target my pet while I'm invisi. I'm pretty sure there's a little holo square outline on them too when you're not being targeted by them, unless it's from another skill. I'm just running them down. Idk man, test it out. I'm still using the 3 points in Persistence hunter, max out my stalker tree, then the rest into hunter, but I'm also using leave no trace because it basically allows you to not have to reload during that crucial action skill time. Two fang is a beast though.
The legendary radiation shield with 100% radiation resistance. The artifact that boost aura damage by 50% and radius by 15%. Plus nuke x2 mirv radiation grenades. Set
There's a artifact that can increase elemental damage and slide damage for shotguns so I'd you're using hellwalker that could be worth a try
Great video. I've been soloing up to level 25 now with my trusty Mr Chew Skag!. Time for a change now for mass damage. Keep the vids coming, GG 💪🐶🐾
Best explanation and you actually showed it in action.
Wow this is awesome! I am suing Flak for my first ever walk-through and this is so awesome! You got my Sub :)
Awesome stuff man, re-specced with this build and it's insane how much faster I'm melting shit. Thank you!
I’m using this build with a x8 shock fear monger and an electric slide artifact with 73% shock damage, talk about melting shit. Haunt may as well not even have a shield!
Used your build for my end game grinding, so many thanks, just picked up +2 to two f4ng and fast and the furryous, think that'll last me a while.
Dude this is great! Subbed and liked!
This is a great build overall. The one thing I would suggest in the leveling up process is to get interplanetary stalker and head count sooner rather than later.
Gonna respec tonight and build towards this, great video and explanation
Love the build can’t wait to try it! Can you do a siren build? Can’t seem to find one besides melee, which is shit for bosses
using this build with a jakobs gun that reloads the bullet upon critting... I literally shred bosses in one action skill usage
Yep, any gun with the "call" at the end of it is insanely good!
excuse my noobness but why jacobs? does jacobs generally dish out more crit?
@@jborrelli34 jacobs is usually fires super quick i was taking down the final boss in 2 cycles and im not even maxed out yet
@@jborrelli34 I think its only Jakobs weapons that can have the "Call" ability which does this
Get the "One Pump Chump" Jakobs legendary shotty...so ridiculous on Fl4k.
I just did this 4 years later and OMG does this make such a difference. God bless my friend. 🙏
This build is amazing, I used it and completely destroyed people in my game. Thx for the video
I did add the "leave no trace" skill (red, top middle) to it. Combined with a high bullet count shotgun with fast firing it's pretty awesome.(or any gun with multiple bullets per ammo) As long as you hit, you don't have to reload.
Great guide thanks for build
Video starts off smashing level 33 enemies. Well done.
Great video! I'm playing as moze for my first playthrough but fl4k will be second. Just feeling like after getting so close to enemies with high rpm guns with moze I'd like to change up the pase with fl4k focusing mainly on the pets and snipers w/hunter tree.
you're wrong about hidden machine... it buffs damage when your not being targeted... FYI you're not being targeted during your ultimate skill so its a big damage buff
Damn, I will try this then. ty
You are the man 👍🏻 instant sub you’re a smart dude
I just realized that Head count lowers Cooldown while action skill is active, then it resets soon as it ends so basically there is no point in using fast fire rate weapon during action skill as it still starts back at 45 seconds when action skill ends.
great review, thanks
Awesome video, great seeing you do borderlands! Would love to see other videos on other characters. Would you say this build is great for team play? Also what class has the best dps?
Yes its great, don't know who's best but flak seems to be insanely powerful
Nice build my dude
Can you make a video with your build in action? Great video and thanks.
Not gono lie I just changed my build to yours and I melt anything it's insane thanks for guide dude
I've been using a real similar build but have maxed out leave no trace, I use the butcher, a hellwalker and a brainstormer, so on action skill it's just a constant stream of bullets with no reload. The butcher and hellwalker just have insane damage potential, even when a couple mayhem modifiers make them weaker, and the brainstormer with a x14 roll just shreds groups because if the chain lightning.
Flak can be used as a sniper character because there are many snipers that add even more damage to ur critical damage just like we all did with zero if we ran the sniper build
Loving this build
Great build Nick, I use nearly all your builds in The Division 2. Nice surprise to see you making BL3 content. Just remade my Fl4K build and it's an absolute beast. Could you make next build Amara please?
Yes!
@@NickTew Excellent, nice one!!
Great video.
Hidden mechine is pretty damn good even if you are playin solo as the idea is to go hidden therfore you are not being targeted usally the next target is the pet... That means big dmg more then the one you used...
Correct me if i am wrong
Yes, once you use your action skill you are no longer being targeted so you get the full damage boost from hidden machine.
That's the only thing I'd change about this build
Maybe spec into that at least 2 points if keep everything else he showed though
Hidden machine is good as it includes when you’re invisible
I highly urge everyone to speck into hidden machine you get this buff every time you activate your action skill
i agree. it's better than the other one.
Yes when you fade away the enemies no longer target you
@@MicaRulz13 and what skill you don't pick to use hidden machine?
@@Torty007 action skill kill reset
Just starting out with BL3 and FL4K, thanks for the wee tip!
You are ignoring what is for me the best passiv for bossing with Fl4k , " Leave no trace ". With the right mod and the right weapon it basicaly allow you to use à 1 / 2 or 3 bullet magazine weapon ( strongest damage dealers weapons but short use before reloading ) without having to reload while cloaked to down boss in seconds.
Very well explained. I also appreciate you mentioning options for solo play. Subbed. Looking forward to future recommendations.
Sick guy this build is Insane
Pairing this build with a Jacobs weapon is insane!! (they have the ricochet rounds perk, that hits a second enemy, and while in your ability every bullet is a critt, it’s nasty)
Ricochets for days
If you paired this build with the weapon "the duc", then it'd be insane. Its basically a normal Jakobs weapon, with a tiny amount of average damage lowered and basically it shoots sticky bombs. Along with this, instead of ricocheting 1 bullet, it ricochets 2, it's quite a good legendary.
imho, I'd put one less in the blue tree to get the red capstone. Also, LeaveNoTrace is pretty much mandatory because no more reloading during FadeAway is much better than faster reloading. I have a +2 to this in my classmod, meaning 60% chance of getting a bullet back, essentially every 2-pellet COV gun never overheats anymore, and I fire revolvers with 3+ pellets for the entire time of FadeAway.
Dude your builds are always the best I been following your builds for a looong time and u out build everyone I watch lol keep up the good work... please cuz I need you🤣
When I used that skill that when you crit it has a chance to reduce the cooldown, I always started with base cooldown rate after I exited fade away
Same here
I think it only works out of fade away
thanks mate,it truly helps.Never thought beast master is actually a beast
i played that build and it feels awesome with that legandy weapon. no reload, get every time bullets. so fucking op man. best char for bosses i think
Yup, that weapon compliments it super well.
i like it ill try it out later
Have you tried the Lucian call weapon with this, I think it would be really strong
Thanks for this. Great guide. Subbed.
Niiice thats my build mostly I’m only 35 and I feel so overpowered. I delete everything so quick.
This build is amazing! Thanks a lot. My tanky build sucked the further I got lol. Once I did this the difference was intense and I'm still tanky enough its not an issue. Also fyi I believe WillisGaming ripped you off with this. Seen a few videos of this or very very similar ones all posted after your post. Kind of a shame.
Dude Hidden Machine is sick. Things aren't able to target you when you're invisible, meaning you get a ton of free damage when you're in Fade Away, which the whole build is based on. And that's without even mentioning the pet tanking things.
Jeff Molander absolutely great for the ol circle of slaughter too
How come you dont go into megavore or the power inside, your about 2 points away from megavore, would it be ideal to make sacrifice 2 points in another tree to complete that? Also how does this build work against bosses, I'm currently level 34
Hidden Machine works while fade away is up because enemies cannot target you.
he's leaving no trace out because he's using queens call which upon a crit restores ammo so no trace is useless
Question - 1) Do cooldowns start while the action skill is active? So if I increase duration of action skill has the counter for the next action skill started already? Or do the 45 sec start after action skill ends?
2) On "head count" talent, do the crits during fade away count towards a chance to reduce the next cooldown?
Uhh
No borderlands doesn’t start the Cooldown till the ability stops
That’s why I switched to pocket Rakk Flak
I can’t handle the Cooldown anymore
Mark McGehee definitely fun, but not the best for late/end game. My rakk’s do as much damage as 2 bullets now. Just not worth it
Thanks
This build is at its best with the queen calls pistol
Thank you
The problem I have with critical builds is, outside of his Fade Away ability, I don't get super frequent critical hits to make it fully beneficial. I get them less than half of my shots. I do notice that you can still kill them really easily, but he feels very squishy. I don't know, maybe I just haven't gotten the right guns yet. I know I'm not killer with my aim and cover skill, but I'm decent enough.
Pretty good video, I like my skag thought so does that affect the skill tree you are maining?
Colton . Zimmerman you can switch out pets anytime no matter what skill tree you use. If you do prefer the skag, I’d recommend the Great Horned Skag since it increases both the player’s damage and gun damage.
For hidden machine, wouldn’t it work very well if the build is to be invisible? I mean nothing is targeting you during those times so that buff would be active plus whatever your crit is
Yes. But honestly he doesnt waste those points elsewhere. Would have to really do the math to see what optomizes damage across the board.
I do agree, but that perk is useful only about half of the time? and the occasional ones when your pet is being targeted.
That’s fair, both of your points. I was just thinking that since the build is about being cloaked and criting for maximum damage, I reckoned that would be a good idea. But yeah, leaving it up to rng like Vian said isn’t too good
@@XxxMINERxFORxLIFExxX there no point not to get the hidden machine at to end game you are invisible 70% of the time. letting that 30% + damage just sit on the table is senseless.
Pretty sure if you were getting the CD for your ability faster, the invis up time should be most of fights, and to kill everything in the fight during the ability. Then to be able to boss melt at endgame
They nerfed it hard in this latest patch, bro. Crit fl4k was nice those two weeks, though.
I find gamma burst tree can cause way more damage in mid to late game, fade away is great single damage but when you have waves coming at you gamma burst is way more reliable plus you become basically unkillable because regan gets pretty ridiculous
coroc sat maybe but I’ve been going with a build like that and I’m always going down
thancks it is great
Lovely build. Will definitely give it a try. Thumbs up from me
Hey NickTew try the kings call lmfao. its uh. "Wild over Mild"
im subscribed
If they were gonna nerf Fl4k, I think they would put guerillas in the mist
In the tier 4 augment instead of tier 1
I really like this build. Could you make an example vid of maybe boss kills?
Have you tried playing the game ?
@@Arsenico0 Sure thing. Beat it yesterday.
Can you only spec into one skill tree at once? Or can you run multiple?
16:55 for best weapons
awwww dammit, surprise spoilers at the end
Fuck. Wish I had read this.
like fkn srsly love spoilers ......
TheJohnJohn741 luckily the story was shit anyways
@@princeofrance are you fucking dumb it adds lots of back story to the 2nd bl
TheJohnJohn741 damn sorry you got it spoiled . Thanks for the heads up though dude
Is this still viable as a starter/end game build as looking for a new character as I'm having a really hard time with the 1st one I started, not doing enough dmg and not getting any worth while drops either.
I would recommend going into the Master tree until TVHM.
Is there any other reason to use the gunslinger monkey? Even with the 5% crit, wouldn't the base Loyal Skag 5% damage also just be 5%crit also since it's just damage?
Jace ' for what I would imagine, adding gun damage would be like 5% buff to gun dmg while buffing crit by 5% is not the same as gun dmg, it multiplies gun damage. So let’s say crit is a 2x multiplier of gun damage, so if you buff crit by 5%, you actually buff total damage output by 10%
Queen’s and King’s call are extremely powerful with this build. They are both Jakob’s pistols that drop late game
I managed to snag a queens call; do they drop randomly or from those two bosses late game?
It's from the final fight
I have over 200 epic class mods, and have not ever seen one with boosts to persistence hunter or headcount. I really don't think they want you to be able to endlessly spam your special skill :P
Interesting. Other than the 3 in the blue tree to increase gun damage....I went straight down the red tree....all kill skills. Especially the one that lasts two minutes when you kill a badass, you destroy mobs. Kill the badass first, and then everyone else is super easy.
I will try this out though. I haven’t maxed level with FL4K yet, but I’m guessing pet damage is worthless on Mayhem 4, kind of like Iron Bear? The Rakk attack is good on NVHM, but again....I bet it doesn’t do much on harder difficulty.
They need to buff special abilities on Mayhem modes. It completely changes the way you need to play the game. Compared to non-mayhem, I know I would respec Moze, just completely ignoring Iron Bear, because it did practically no damage.
flak hands down the top dps of the game, although hes definetly good at other things as well but pure damage-wise yeah hes the man
*cough cough* Moze
The most shocking thing about this game so far is that Two Fang is actually good. Seriously, in both Borderlands 1 and 2 all it really did was waste ammo. Also, considering This build relies mostly on Fade Away, Hidden Machine would be amazing because that's an extra 30% damage while cloaked. As for the Hunter tree, Magavore is probably one of the best skills in the game. Paired with Leave No Trace you can fire for a long time without reloading depending on the enemy.
that combo is overpowered I never have to reload once I'm cloaked and nothing is alive once its finished, but we all know it will get nerfed eventually
Be careful with enforcer, hollow point is currently bugged to kill you and all your allies through health gate
hidden machine turns on when ur invisible? its the skill that makes u deal more damage when ur not the target
Why anyone would play a guerillas fade away build without leave no trace is beyond me. Seriously it's a one magazine per fade away perk. Particularly with a torgue shotgun.
lul, nice argumentation boy... back to school... love it
Is this still viable after the last 2 Fl4k nerfs?
Is there a reason the pet isn’t added for a long time?
Is persistence hunter even necessary cause you stack way more damage on top of that you can get it back so fast idk
4:10 furiouus attack, gitm, persistence hunter, overclocked
Thank god I just hit 23 and I was like how can I make fade away into beastly crit skill !!!!
Nick can you use all pets with this build?
wouldnt hidden machine be better since the focus is to pop cloak as much as possible making u never get targeted and always hav that buff?
does someone have a chart or screen shot of the final build so I can save it for later use?
Doesn’t Hidden Machine work if you’re in fade away though? Since you’ll have fade away up quite often, it’s just free damage isn’t it?
Thank you for this! Following your guide, I was finally able to beat that asshat Troy. Hellz Yeah!
It’s hard leveling Zane after playing flak, I think Zane is just under tune at lower levels or flak is just that powerful, I haven’t felt weak as flak since landing on pandora.
