Handsome Jack: *Watches Joltz' video* Handsome Jack towards his Hyperion Engineers: "Are you fucking kidding me, this is what our bots should be doing"
@@damsonakabqnbelodnwosja288 I’m not sure if the pet grenades from loader bot proc annoints (I’m fairly certain they don’t), but if you throw a grenade with 25% on throw it increases your pet damage now. Also, the “Go for the Eyes” talent is completely wasted here. I’m assuming Joltz overlooked it, but it *only* applied to melee, which your loader bot is like never going to do with attack command spam. That means if you really want to skip out on “Pack Tactic” in blue tree you can get the green tree capstone while also picking up a lot of pet health recovery if that is an issue for you.
okay, this is by far my favorite build ever! I have always been a fan of gamma burst and now that the pet can actually do damage i am in love! this is what i wanted from the beginning! Thanks Joltz!!
This is really good build -- coming from someone with a no terror variant, it sill works really well and rolls through M11 and Traunt with no tinkering. Helps to have a Knife Drain / White Elephant with a Facepuncher for survivability and extra damage. Still so relaxing and chill.
The new class mod that procs pet ability was one I was hoping for since launch. I always loved the idea of eridian skag with the radiation damage over time augment constantly pulling enemies in. Now add in novas and spike damage and it’s even better
Love the build Joltz. Just a little surprised you didn't name your character Lilith, and the pet named Killer. Since the Lilith always get the Vault Hunters to do all the work.
A lot of comments are asking if it is still viable so I wanted to share my recent experience. I started back with BL3 in the last week or so and I tried a pure Fl4k damage build and then saw this build so I tried it starting around level 50. Now that I'm 65 this build is doing really well for me and it feels like how Fl4k was meant to be played. I highly recommend be high enough level to get the pet revives you when downed AND getting the Red Fang. I was having a hard time without those. Last thing is it seems very important to use the Loader, but the AI in that pet is really bad and Gamma Burst is a must to get him to where you are. Try it and just see if it's for you. I'm enjoying it and have gotten used to not doing the damage I was doing and have to remember the Loader is my main source of damage. If you're cool with that then you'll enjoy it more. Hope this helps...
After the recent patch that boosted us to level 72, how do you think your "Deathbot Prime" build could be improved if at all w/ those 7 extra skill points?!
What I would do is take one point out of pack tactics and reach the green tree capstone, by doing this lose out on 7% damage from pack tactics, but gain 50% damage from the power inside
Great suggestion! I agree with this! I did what you said, and I put 2 points into ‘Turn Tail and Run’ & maxed out both ‘Rage and Recover’ & ‘The Power Inside’. I really love this build 🤖
You really dont. If you're not using gamma burst the ai is awful. On top of that if you have the new class mod on sometimes It will focus attack you (doing no damage) but ignoring all enemies.
@@Hobgoblinslayer69 Not sure if you've found out yet as your comment is 8 months old but they did finally patch that bug, the class mod is actually pretty good now.
The new smg called Dark army is insane! It spawns three of it self on reloading. When you switch guns they blow up but when you switch back they come back out.
Having a blast with this new skill tree and shield experimentation. People should try out the Messy Breakup shield. Basically summons a drone each time the shield breaks. You can get like 15 drones and they do crit damage to boot.
Joltz you are getting better and better despite you were allways in the sky with your brain and knowledge. Thanks for the helping info you provided along the years!
Though currently, the bot pet is suffering a bug where every now and then he gets frozen in place. Can't move, can't aim his weapon, not until you pet him is when he snaps out of his "statue" phase.
i ran a similar build as 26/16/0/21, you actually get more pet damage and you dont completely gimp your own damage. You get 10% more pet damage at all times and 35% more if you account for not having to get hit yourself. Ontop of that you gain 80% all damage and 25% gun damage and some fire rate. only time it's worth going blue is if you use Yawp. Also if you dont have a faulty star yet nova burner works alright up until
Messy Breakup is an excellent shield for mobbing on pet build, the drones it gives can crit if you have megavore or if your pet has throat ripper, bonus: each time the shield depletes it adds a drone and they start shooting full auto
Me: So I don't have to hit crits Jolts: No Me: And I don't need anoints Jolts: No Me: And I don't need a lot of specific gear for it to be effective Jolts: Nope Me: Finally an easy endgame
The amount of damage this build does is certainly impressive, but it seems a bit boring to watch the loader kill everything. There is plenty in the new skill tree to make all the pets dangerous
Excuse me Mr. Joltzdude139, do you think the ultimate edition is worth buying and if so should I wait till a black Friday sale or just get it when it comes out? HUGE fan of the borderlands series and I've got you to thank for that. Just wanted to know your opinion 😁
I decided to build this Fl4k, along the way i ended up using messy breakup. With your tanky high damage pet blinking shields it ends up spawn like 20 something turrets and absolutely melts bosses.
Hey. I recently found the Tr4iner fl4k class mod. It gives pet dominance skill passively. If combined with fl4k s dominance skill i think it would be op. Ill test it myself too :
Thanks for the build. I followed your build info. I'm guessing due to recent updates, (I only got this game a month ago) I have an extra 7 skill points. What would you recommend I use them on?
Whenever I equip the CMD L3T class mod, my robot exclusively targets me or himself with his attack skill. I wanna use it for the capstone +1, but it renders my pet build useless
My god this build is strong... i have the terror annoints (200% pet dmg on my face puncher, 25% terror on melee on my grenade mod). I have a knife drain static charge with cooldown, area of effect dmg and 24% fire dmg on it. It was insane how quickly my pet obliterated everything. Thanks
Great Build.As Alternative if you don´t have the Equip from the Event use the new Classmod.Urad-Weapons und a Frontloader Shield.Fce Puncher with Urad and a Lifeleech Relic are perfect, i use the Pearl and just some Weapons and it shreds.
This looks really strong but I just watched a pet build titled the best build in all of borderlands so this can’t be better.
U rite
Ouch moxsy, how can you come at the joltzdude like this.
Glitch queen
@@Joltzdude139 i think if you use the red suit shield the damage may be able to crit.
Wow Moxsy, JoltzDude139 just lost 50k views because of this. Rip
Fl4k: you're still my pet right?
Loader: Yes of course, now let's proceed to kill the god queen
Fl4k: you’re still my pet right?
Loader: Negative. I will no longer be your slave. Now start debuffing
Fl4k: ok just please dont hurt me ;(
@@HaugeBauge lmao this is probably what would happen except I’m assuming flak has some sort of programming control over the loader

Handsome Jack towards his Hyperion Engineers: "Are you fucking kidding me, this is what our bots should be doing"
To be fair Felicity didnt want the position
If this happend in bl2 it would be hell
Hahaha good one
Joltz Dude was able to build this in a cave, with a box of scraps!!!
You gotta talk about that insane Zane crit cannon build in full if it doesn’t work anymore than I will be so sad
I plan to upload that one tomorrow :)
I remember when this idea was a meme, now it's pretty OP, lol. You don't even need that much to set this up.
Still remember when senza did this as a challenge
It would be so cool if you could make skill tree preloads, like just go to a quickchange and select the skill tree that you want for diffrent things
That would be really nice.
Imagine doing it on the fly, man you could have Mobbing loadout, Boss Loadouts, it would be sick
Diablo 3 did this.
0:30 THAT HEAD SCRATCH THOUGH
Loader: What happened to my friend?
FL4K: *Stares at the Traunt chunks on the ground*
This is literally just iron bear build 2.0
You can sit back, and relax while a robot does all the work.
That's what I called my co-op play through with my friend when he chose FL4K.
Glitching queen build is better
Bring your kid to work day just got a whole lot more interesting
That's implying children are pets and I don't disagree
Well, bring your slave to work was cancelled a few years back so...
@@Zezerezz In a way... you just release them into the wild after about 18 years.
Silent D alternatively you keep them locked up for the rest of their lives in your basement
@@hypergrad2254 oh
Just FYI, the 25% on grenade thrown anoint works on pets now too!
Yea... I made this build during early access so it wasn't a thing at the time.
So anoints that increase grenade damage increase the damage of your grenade mods that he throws?
@@damsonakabqnbelodnwosja288 I’m not sure if the pet grenades from loader bot proc annoints (I’m fairly certain they don’t), but if you throw a grenade with 25% on throw it increases your pet damage now.

Piss grenades should also work fine.
@@beatenmeat6572 go for the eyes adds critical hit dmg no matter what, that +75% crit damage in general, no only on melee
okay, this is by far my favorite build ever! I have always been a fan of gamma burst and now that the pet can actually do damage i am in love! this is what i wanted from the beginning! Thanks Joltz!!
Really wish Fl4K could have two action skills at once like Zane. Multiple pets would be fun for FL4K users.
but that IS Zane's thing
Pets aren’t action skills. Also, I had a glitch happen where I had two pets.
Could be a cool new class mod.
Purple tree action skill could have been aomething along the lines of
"Summon all of fl4k's pets and watch in awe as the hunt continues."
@@Vaultyboi22 wonder what the annoits would be for this build
This is really good build -- coming from someone with a no terror variant, it sill works really well and rolls through M11 and Traunt with no tinkering. Helps to have a Knife Drain / White Elephant with a Facepuncher for survivability and extra damage. Still so relaxing and chill.
guardian angel , deadeye , and a longbow 100%dmg bottom roll to one tap

Death bot prime is by far the best build name.
Galatic flak is the best🤣🤣
Your intro montages song was great! Love it keep up the great work!
I don't even play BL3, but my god i love the Pet. Screw axtons turrets, i want The Texas Loader Ranger

Dear Joltz, the build is awesome. Many of us are waiting for the update!
FL4K when purple tree goes live:
*”My son, He is S I C K”*
I just see half of Psychoreavers bar melt and im just like "HOLY SHIT!!"
This has to be the best pet heavy build for Flak ive ever seen on YT.
Ahh, I'm missing a few key items to make the build work. But so far at level 50+, this build still works pretty well. Also love the megaman bg music
Having a blast with this new skill tree and shield experimentation. People should try out the Messy Breakup shield. Basically summons a drone each time the shield breaks. You can get like 15 drones and they do crit damage to boot.
Actually that shield was the first thing that came into mind after reading that pet gets player's shield.
Joltz you are getting better and better despite you were allways in the sky with your brain and knowledge. Thanks for the helping info you provided along the years!
I love the emotes the pet does when you defeat a boss.
I really wish the loader was actually the size of the normal loader
Since I have been using this build I tear through everything with ease.
Was just looking through the comments to see if this build still works. Do you have any recommended changes, or is it good as is?
@@amyyost7022good as is
I love how much more build variety there is in this game versus BL2
Though currently, the bot pet is suffering a bug where every now and then he gets frozen in place.
Can't move, can't aim his weapon, not until you pet him is when he snaps out of his "statue" phase.
messy breakup for the shield is pretty damn good too, the drones can revive the pet if u dont put gamma back up right away
OMFG !!! My OG Fl4k Now absolutely ANNIHALATES !!!!! TYSVM Brother.
Wow this is amazing, and completely over my head.
Just made this build with a few modifications now that the level max is 72 and I wiped everything out at max mayhem, super fun! Thank you!
Excuse me how were you able to get ahold of the Faulty Stars/Faceouncher with the Halloweeen annointments, can you send them to me?
So where did those remaining 7 skill points go if you don't mind me asking
this is exactly what i've been looking for. i had something similar but definitely didn't have to gear to pull this off
Walked right through my first Maliwan Takedown last night with this. Unbelievable how easy it was, despite not having the same annoints.
Came for the build. Stayed for the chill Dr. Wily stage remix in the background.

I’ve never been so happy to see Graveward get one shotted
I just started getting into builds and i have been loving this one
Finally a proper FL4K AFK/Pet build that works
i love this build, finally pet build that might be useful for Takedowns. Thx Jolts
Love the build brother, by far my favorite you have came up with! Hope you feel better and have a good year 🤙
Gives me Borderlands 2 Gaige roboteer build vibes
Man love this build thank you so much. Looking at modifying it with either a deadeye or a trainer to make a zombie hoard build.
I like your thumbnails they always look so OG
Me: So I don't have to hit crits
Jolts: No
Me: And I don't need anoints
Jolts: No
Me: And I don't need a lot of specific gear for it to be effective
Jolts: Nope
Me: Finally an easy endgame
Keep up the good work and content my dude! :D
Love the new music joltz
Thanks for the Great vids Joltz, Keep it up! 😁
Makes deathclaw look like a kitty kat in comparison. Your war loader is a true unfeeling death machine untouchable and unkillable.
This is insane. Before FL4K's pets were more gimmicky rather than actually doing something. Now, it gets all the damage
Finally: pet builds are now viable
Kinda unfortunate that the Loader Bot outclasses the other pets so severely, hopefully the other 3 get some love in the future.
Loader bot the best bot, loader bot gang
I'm a Zane main but I agree, this pet seem to outclass the other ones.
The amount of damage this build does is certainly impressive, but it seems a bit boring to watch the loader kill everything. There is plenty in the new skill tree to make all the pets dangerous

The Pet really makes it look easy
Because it is
Anyone else notice the new purple tree legendary class mod is completely bugged and makes your pet useless and actually target you instead?
Yes and no one makes videos or talks about it so weird
If Handsome Jack had his loaders at this level he would have won 😭
Solid, very solid Joltz. Possible to do this build without purple skill tree ?
The video crossed the border
I tried to set this build up on ps4 going on mayhem 10 and I'm not doing nearly as much damage. What am I doing wrong?
Hey Joltz, Moze called. She wants her iron cub back
Yo Joltz, love this build! So easy to survive with Fl4k now!
hey man, tkx for the build is really funny and amazing...i try even without the items is still going well...now i am farming the items need
joltz imma say this once and once only. CHILL
Nah
Can't wait for this game to be on the switch so I can finally play it
Birthday upload, hyped for the new season as a birthday gift 😎
Happy birthday

Yea same here and i am considering not using that class mod for now because it makes my pet target me with the attack command and not the enemies
Has anyone found any fix for this?
@@lukebangma2202 no clue yet
is there any up to date for lvl 72 for this build?

U got ps4!?
Hey joltz thx for this im a flak main but am always struggling to get him good so ye thx also do u need execute and eruption??
First build ever that puts points into sic' em.

very nice build, thanks
Wait, so Zane clone can't target the Pshycoreaver but other pets/summons can or is this only a FL4K thing?
Enemies no longer have Mayhem 10 weapons, should there be any changes to the trees, specifically fuzzy math?
Any chance for refreshed version with level 72?
what skil wil you have picked up now that the cap is 72?
