So, i've been trying to get the daredevil platinum for a while. I've been trying it with shotgun builds, because hell, i love shotguns. Many scouts died trying, so i tried one with a marine. To be honest it was going quite badly, the constant search for ammo was frustrating. But then, just before Tower of Babel, the gods of RNG smiled upon me and gifted me a Jackhammer and 2 shellboxes. Jackhammer and MAD is pretty nuts imo. Cybie became a pushover and died in 5/6 volleys of shrapnel goodness. Only the first level of Hell gave me any trouble, because i spawned in the middle of 5~6 Bruiser Brothers and Barons of Hell.

Also, my first full win on UV. :)

Well done.

On UV YAAM run, late ammo supply is always a significant problem, so when I play on UV as a Marine,
I almost always go with Ammochain or Vampyre. Interesting to see that you gained so much shotgun shell supply.

For a large part of the game i relied on a P-modded plasma rifle whenever i could save shells, but that doesn't show in the mortem. I figured that you need about 30~40 shells per floor, especially if you have no traits as SoB, MAD or unique/exotic shotguns. To be precise, you need to loot the corpses of at least 2 former sergeants per floor to have enough shells. I carefully danced around the maps, trying not to knock former sergeants into baths of fluids and trying not to blow up any barrels near them (in these cases i used the plasma rifle, because of it's accurate shots compared to the shotgun).
