[Build] Flak Jack - Optimized Flakker Rocket swap

Basis of the build:

  • The Flakker damage overwrite: the base damage for the Flakker’s pellets takes the on-card damage of the current active weapon.
  • Jack’s Sponsored By with Scav manufacturer: swapping from a Scav weapon instantly reloads the next weapon, bypassing the Flakker’s slow reload speed.
  • Jack’s High-Frequency Trading (9/5) allows for crazy fast weapon swapping.
  • Jack’s Leadership and weak-ish Digi-Jacks allow for more kill skill activations, further increases flakking damage.

Goal: maximizing DPS of the swap in continuous, un-pause-able combat.

Pros & Cons: available early, insanely high damage output, but requires relatively precise positioning for shots, tricky/ineffective against small or melee range targets.

Combat routine:

Step 1) Swap to Scav weapon -> swap to Flakker (increases mag size & instantly reload)

Step 3) Swap to Flakker -> repeat step 2
Step 4) If the Flakkers empty or almost empty -> repeat step 1

Tips:

Keep the grenade count low to activate Just Compensation, increasing mag sizes.
Move around to respawn/kill your Digi-Jacks, triggering kill skills.
