Has anyone tried Jack + Clayton with Ultimate Battery? I would consider Clayton as Jack’s best friend (sorry Del). Then you could use Hijack again after a few seconds of heal beaming Clayton.

I might have to try this now. I like Jack but doing 50 waves can be very boring. As you mentioned there’s no reason to smelt on Frenzy. I didn’t know healing upgrade was useless on masters so that’s one thing I can switch out.
Gave your technique a go with disastorous results lol. I did end up having more damage than normal in the final count but because of the team I was with it was difficult to fully unleash jacks hijack abilities. JD killed me in hijacked mode several times by chainsawing me while I was in cover. Nearly everytime all the enemies where grouped together so hijacking the right enemy was tough and ended up as a juvie a few times lol. Also I got carpet bombed to hell in 4 rounds thanks to one trigger happy fenix.
On the positive side of things I did notice when I would play jack I wasn’t marking as much as normally would when playing the likes of lizzie and was able to have my hijack ready for almost every round because of this which was awesome. Honestly never occured to me that a hijacked enemy would still have their regen and honestly only thought you just got 3x dmg and 3x health. Taking cover brought health back within seconds which was a serious life saver.
Thanks for this. I plan to take a better run as jack and see how this works and hopefully the team members won’t execute me lol.

Oh boy I can only relate to that “being chainsawed” thing. It is an absolute nightmare as a Jack player when other people are doing that to you.
I do understand hijacking the correct enemy can be tricky at times. There isn’t really a way around that except waiting and hoping your teammates don’t kill the enemy you want to hijack.
The point just is to have a little change to the always boring non-stop smelting job.

Oh yeah and I wouldn’t of minded it so much if we were over run and he was chainsawing his way through enemies but this JD just moved from his cover over to mine just to chainsaw me. He got an earful from me for sure lol
Second attempt. I hijacked a DR1-Devastator and just kept firing salvos like they were on sale. The hijack went on and on to the point were the ult timer was as if it was stuck. This have definately brought some life back into playing as jack.
I don’t know if you mentioned this or not but you can tag 2 enemies at the same time by zapping 1 and tagging another. This seemed to gives jack ult a fairly decent boost. I did this on harbor so when an enemy was coming in on the right I would zap them and tag another and when one of them was dead I would rinse and repeat plus doing dmg gives a boost as well so it seems this is possibly the fastest way to get your ult back. Downside to it is you are decloak so you know be careful.
Edit. Made another attempt at this and the results were far better. Join a game wave 8 as Jack on forge and used this technique and had a dmg score 2,899,801. It was a bit tough as up against a Marcus who wanted all the kills for himself. I would have gotten more than that but Marcus decided to kick me at wave 31 because you know … reasons.

Is there a Horde modifier that prevents enemies from detonating with Explosive Hack? Either that or i found a nasty glitch the last time I played as Jack
This makes me wanna play Jack sooooo bad!
NOW all you ASSSSHOOOOOOES, I mean legends! 
Stop talking about it or it’s gonna be nerfed. 
This bug has actually been around since OP3. Never knew about the healing speed though.
Those weapons are programmed to only cause damage, not headshot if they are in the enemy AI’s hands.
I can only imagine how annoying it would be if in PVE you could get instantly headshot killed by Snipers/Elite Snipers/Deadeyes.
Yes I know about this. You can actually “mark” multiple enemies while zapping. But it’s simply to complicated to explain.
That’s great and all but does anyone have the TLDR?
Jack can kill bosses. Hijack an Elite Drone or Mulcher Scion, kill a few enemies. This should refill and slow down your Ultimate speed enough to kill bosses.

Sorry man. He’s just too OPed. Pretty soon we’ll all be Kung Fu fighting with the Eagle Claw style.

I think we just need to kung fu kick this game! I mean might as well. The fun factor is very fast being nerfed to hell. There doesn’t seem to be a point to lvl characters as they get nerfed. Been playing this game since day one and things like this keep making me ask myself “WHY” I got a tonne of things to do with work and other life BS! “WHY”

I agree, Jack should do only one job and that’s smelting until there’s no tomorrow!
