Borderlands 3 character and build guide - FL4K Tamer class

Borderlands 3 is the brand new action RPG-first person shooter video game developed by Gearbox Software. As in previous installments in the series, Borderlands 3 features four playable characters known as Vault Hunters. Their names are: Amara, a vigorous Siren-class huntress capable of summoning six mighty arms with which to attack enemies; Moze, a young huntress capable of spawning and driving armed vehicles; Zane, an elder hunter who can create a hologram of himself; FL4K, an extraordinary android who always brings one of his three loyal pets into battle to improve stats and attack enemies.



When choosing the character to play, know that each of them has three skill trees, and many customizations to better suit your style of play.

Since the choice is vast and interesting, in this guide we have made a summary of the opportunities you will face. Keep in mind that if you want to change your character's abilities, you can do so at any time, as long as you're not completely broke.

FL4K Tamer class

His three skill trees are: Stalker, Hunter, and Master. Also, while at a safe distance in sniper mode you can send any of your three pets to help which are Jabber Sidekick, Spiderant Centurion and Guard Skag. Pets change depending on the tree you choose and have different abilities. You get Jabber Sidekick for the Stalker tree, Centurion Spiderant for Hunter and Guard Skag for Master. Each tree will allow you to switch to two different evolutions of each animal. Each new animal you unlock has a new ability, and the new version will replace the one you had equipped at that time.
