It’s not even been out for a full week yet, and there is already a mountain of broken builds in Borderlands 4<\/a>, from Vex bleed builds to Harlowe’s pocket nuke and Rafa’s army of gun buffs. But there’s one character we all severely underestimated, Amon.<\/p>\n

Looking at his skill trees, he’s a bit\u2026bland compared to the other characters<\/a>, and after picking him as my main Vault Hunter, it’s not far from the truth. He’s generally quite clunky and just doesn’t have as many broken perks as the other characters.<\/p>\n

Well, it turns out that Amon is secretly the most busted character of the bunch (and that’s saying something), thanks to a potentially unintended interaction between the Berserk and There Is Only Death perks, and the Groundbreaker specialisation. The kicker is that all you need to do is punch.<\/p>\n

The goal is to stack as much bonus damage as possible from Berserk (cryo) and Groundbreaker (kinetic). You might question how we benefit from Groundbreaker, since it only triggers on non-melee damage, but the bonus cryo damage applied to melee from Berserk actually does the trick. So, every time you punch, you deal increased damage and infinitely stack even more bonus damage for the next punch.<\/p>\n
