Hi everyone
As a big advocate of Rakk Attack builds with Flak, i’ve put a fair bit of time into testing how the game calculates the damage of the action skill. In this video I break down what skills and damage modifiers influence the damage output of the Rakks and how best to spec your Flak to get the most out of Rakk spam in Mayhem 3.
Hopefully you find this video helpful and give the playstyle a go 
How the heck did you find out about the area-of-effect damage increasing Rakk damage?! The testing for that sounds painful 
!
haha it took me hours with many many respecs to realise that my class mod’s area of effect boost was the reason the calcs weren’t making sense, ended up discovering something useful in the end though!
That’s really cool.
On other Rakk Attack videos, the highest most people were able to get was 80k in a volley of 4 Rakks (each rakk 20k). Your testing increases that by over 5k per Rakk. Great job!
Thanks man hopefully it will help other people and encourage more love/usage of the rakk approach
