As new content and balance updates are released, Borderlands 3 players have to experiment with new builds to get the most out of their characters. One new build has been put together for popular character FL4K, and it's so powerful that it is capable of one-shotting enemies, even when the game is set to Mayhem 4.
This new Borderlands 3 FL4K Mayhem 4 build is being nicknamed Deputy FL4K, named after a similar build that was made for the Gunzerker in Borderlands 2. As described by YouTuber Joltzdude139, here is what players need to put together this powerful new Borderlands 3 FL4K build for Mayhem 4:
Equipment
King's Call / Dastardly Maggie
Wedding Invitation / Headsplosion or Monocle
Annexed Choodessny ION CANNON
Salvager Stop Gap (Anointed)
Mitosis Hunter-Seeker (Anointed)
Vulpine St4ckbot
Last Stand Victory Rush
Red Tree
Rakk Attack!
Interplanetary Stalker
Leave No Trace
Hunter's Eye
Head Count
Big Game
The Most Dangerous Game
Galactic Shadow
Grim Harvest (3/5)
Megavore
Falconer's Feast
Flack 'N Load
Spiderant Scorcher
Blue Tree
Persistence Hunter
Ferocity (1/5)
Go for the Eyes (1/5)
Who Rescued Who? (4/5)

This idea behind this build is using the best Jakobs weapons possible, so Borderlands 3 players can swap in other weapons when needed. It also helps to have the weapons anointed, though that's just icing on the cake. Anyone interested in creating this new Borderlands 3 FL4K build should note that one of the recommended weapons, the Wedding Invitation, may not necessarily be available to them by the time they attempt to put this together.
That's because the Wedding Invitation sniper rifle in Borderlands 3 is only in the game for a limited-time. Players can only collect it by participating in the Broken Hearts Day event, which concludes on February 20. After that, Borderlands 3 players will just have to keep their fingers crossed that Gearbox decides to release the Wedding Invitation again later on, either through the returning Broken Hearts Day event or elsewhere.
Something else that Borderlands 3 players will want to keep in mind when putting together this FL4K Mayhem 4 build is the new level cap. The Borderlands 3 level cap has been raised to 53, so players will want to hit that first and attempt to farm for these items at that point to get the absolute best versions of this equipment possible.
With these tips in mind, Borderlands 3 players can build this devastatingly powerful FL4K Mayhem 4 build.
Borderlands 3 is out now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
