This Borderlands 3 Zane Build relies on freezing enemies and using a mechanic involving Frozen Heart Shield and using Zane’s MNTIS Shoulder Cannon. It will activate the shield’s special ability upon using this Action Skill. Then you need to just shoot them in their critical spot and look at their health bar dropping to zero.

Important! All the items are perfect rolls. If you do not want to download the file you can only gather inspiration for the build and try to replicate something similar in the game. The build contains gear from all the DLCs to Borderlands 3.

Borderlands 3 Zane Build Explanation

All the weapons are manufactured by Jakobs due to their increased critical damage multiplier. The main purpose is to run around while freezing enemies with your interaction between Frozen Heart, anointment on it, and using Action Skill. When they are frozen, you just aim a weapon of your choice onto their head or other critical spots, they die and repeat.

Bossing is a tricky aspect because you can not freeze them, but it is still viable to use against them. You proc your action skill end anointments and with your Spy class mod. using your MNTIS Shoulder Cannon will activate all of your Kill Skills. It will give you a lot of different bonuses that will turn your weapon into a killing machine. It is still better to aim against the boss’s critical spot to get the best result.

Your grenade does not matter because you have two action skills so you will not be using your grenade whatsoever. However, you will proc your anointment, so keep that in mind. For skills, you will be using your Barrier for survivability and MNTIS Shoulder Cannon for activating all of these Kill Skills.
