1. Build overview

This FL4K build is among the top FL4K builds out there, offering insane Damage bonuses by the recently buffed Barbaric Yawp Passive, which combined with Friend-bot Legendary Class Mod, grants up to 400% Pet Passive bonuses. This makes up for an astounding +25% Damage and +50% Gun Damage in total granted by the Great Horned Skag. We are also utilizing Gamma Burst Skill which deals very high Radiation Area Damage, and further increases Gun Damage by +20% when it's active. This build also offers solid damage mitigation which is achieved by increasing our Health and Health Regeneration via Who Rescued Who? and Pack Tactics Passives. We can also share 50% of the incoming damage with our Pet when FL4K is below 50% Health.

2. Build's PROS & CONS

PROS

Solid Gun Damage  Extra Radiation/Area Damage From Gamma Burst   Nearly immortal Pet which can absorb some of the damage  Insane Pet Passive Effects bonuses

3. Passives

Below you will find the recommended Passive our FL4K Gamma Burst/Pet Build. This build utilizes the Master Skill Tree for amazing Pet-related Bonuses, as well as some Points,  are spent in the Hunter Tree for increased Gun Damage which allows undisturbed gameplay on Mayhem 3 difficulty level. It's recommended to prioritize the Master Tree first, as the Gamma Burst is an amazing leveling Skill with solid AoE.

4. Weapon Tips

This build primarily utilizes Radiation Weapons, and Radiation damage can be further increased by Anointed Perks on weapons which increase Radiation Damage by 65% when Gamma Burst is active. Keep in mind, that these Anointed bonuses can stack, and you can use them on several weapons for the massive Radiation Damage bonus. Also, it's essential to get the Friend-bot Legendary Class Mod to increase our Barbaric Yawp Passive level by up to level 10, making up for the insane bonuses it provides.

1. Friend-bot - you should aim to get one with bonuses to Barbaric Yawp Passive, which increases the Passive bonuses granted by our Pet. It's a random world drop;
2. Red Suit - a very solid Legendary Shield which deals Radiation Damage to nearby enemies. It's a Mission reward for Angels and Speed demonds on Pandora, making it easier to obtain then world drops;
3. Pestilence - Legendary Pistol which deals with massive Radiation Damage. It's a COV weapon with greatly increased Rate of Fire and extra AoE damage. It's a random world drop with reported higher drop chance from Heckle and Hyde on Eden-6.
