Doubled Agent Skill Tree

  • Action Skill: Digi-Clone – Zane’s Clone stays put, but distracts and fires at enemies. He can also switch places with the Clone.
  • Synchronicity – Whenever one or more of Zane’s action skills are active (i.e. Doppelbanger and Digital Distribution), he gains increased Gun Damage for each active action skill.
  • Praemunitus – Zane and his Digi-Clone gain increased Magazine Size.
  • Borrowed Time – Zane gains increased Action Skill Duration for every active Action Skill.
  • Binary System – Whenever Zane trades places with his Clone, a Cryo Nova is triggered around them.
  • Donnybrook – Kill Skill. Whenever Zane kills an enemy, he and his Clone receive increased Gun Damage and gain Health Regeneration for a brief period.
  • Fractal Frags – The Digi-Clone throws a copy of Zane’s current grenade mod when it is first activated. It drops a free grenade if it’s killed.
  • Duct Tape Mod – The first shot fired from Zane’s gun has a chance to fire a grenade as well. This skill has an 8-second cooldown period.
  • Schadenfreude – Whenever the Digi-Clone takes damage, Zane’s shield is restored by a portion of that damage.
  • Quick Breather – Zane’s shield starts recharging as soon as he swaps places with his Clone.
  • Which One’s Real? – Enemies are more likely to target the Clone for four seconds after it’s summoned and after swapping places.
  • Doppelbanger – When Zane’s Action Skill is terminated, the Clone explodes, dealing Splash Damage to nearby enemies.
  • Pocket Full of Grenades – Zane gains Grenade Regeneration for eight seconds.
  • Old-U – You need to press any action button during Fight for Your Life if Digi-Clone is active to destroy the clone and immediately gain a Second Wind with full health.
  • Supersonic Man – Zane gains increased Movement Speed for each Active Skill whenever one or more of them are active.
  • Digital Distribution – If Zane takes health damage while the Clone is active, 75 percent of that damage is shared to his Clone instead.
  • Like a Ghost – Zane and his Digi-Clone gain a 2 percent chance to ignore bullets. This chance is increased for 8 seconds after activating an Action Skill.
  • Boom. Enhance. – Whenever Zane summons his Digi-Clone, it consumes up to 3 grenades. For every grenade consumed, the Digi-Clone gains increased Gun Damage (20 percent), Max Health (81 percent), Fire Rate (5 percent), Reload Speed (31 percent), and Digi-Clone Duration (25 percent).
  • Trick of Light – Zane deals Bonus Shock Damage to enemies that aren’t targeting him.
  • Double Barrel – The Clone is equipped with a copy of Zane’s Current Weapon when activated. Swapping places with the Clone causes Zane and his Clone to gain an increase of 20 percent Gun Damage.

  • Playing Dirty – After killing an enemy, Zane’s next five shots all have a chance to fire an additional projectile.
  • Almighty Ordnance – Hold down LB or RB (controller) while SNTNL is deployed to paint a target area. SNTNL fires a missile barrage at that area, and if an enemy is killed, Almighty Ordnance’s duration is reset. This can only be used once per Action Skill use.

  • Death Follows Close – All of Zane’s kill skills gain increased effect and duration.

Under Cover Skill Tree
