A new trailer of Borderlands 3 introduces Zane Flynt as a character coming in the game. the character comes in with a lot of gadgets that he can use against the enemies and all threats in the world.
Zane is a Vault Hunter who starts the release of the series of Vault Hunters in Borderlands 3. Though the character was revealed previously, we get to see a lot of details surrounding Zane and how he works in the gameplay.
Take a look at the trailer of Zane, as Gearbox introduces him as a semi-retired corporate hitman with decades of espionage under his belt, along with plenty of gadgets in his inventory.
Zane comes with his ability to produce a holographic projection of himself that he can use to dupe enemies and then take them out. It seems quite fun in the trailer and it would be interesting how the gameplay would be in the game when it releases in September.
Zane’s three skill trees have also been revealed that contain some quite interesting skills that he can use. These contain the Double Agent, Hitman and Under Cover. Some of the skills containing in each tree have been revealed by Gearbox over at the Borderlands website. Take a look at the skills below:
Double Agent
- Quick Breather lets Zane immediately start recharging his shield whenever he swaps places with his Digi-Clone, which provides a huge boost to survivability.
- Enhance causes your Digi-Clone to consume up to 3 grenades when you summon it, giving the Digi-Clone amped-up stats for every grenade consumed.
- Double Barrel ups your DPS by giving your Digi-Clone a copy of Zane’s current weapon – and swapping places triggers increased gun damage for you and your Digi-Clone.
Hitman
- Salvation gives your damage a bit of life steal after you score a kill, so you can shoot your way back to health if your life bar starts dwindling during battle.
- Death Follows Close improves the effectiveness and duration of your Kill Skills, letting you tear through large groups of enemies with ease.
- Seein’ Red sets off all of Zane’s Kill Skills any time he activates an Action Skill. If you stagger your Action Skills properly, your overall damage output will be through the roof.
Undercover
- Confident Competence buffs Zane’s gun damage and accuracy whenever his shields are active, with better bonuses for stronger shield percentages.
- Calm, Cool, Collected rewards Zane for using cryo weapons; any time you freeze an enemy you’ll regenerate shields, health, or Action Skills in that order, depending on what’s currently full.
- Distributed Denial is a big one, giving your Barrier the effects of your currently equipped Shield Mod, which also applies to any allies near the Barrier (with reduced bonuses for Zane himself). It’ll feel like everyone’s getting together for a big buff party any time you drop a Barrier.
