-- General ---------------------------------------------------
Before him 57 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
52 of those were killed.
1 of those was killed by something unknown.
And 3 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.
Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
Is he immortal? 1 souls claim to have killed him...
1 killed the bastard and survived.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Took about three dozen tries to finally beat cybie on UV, nuke + invul was a nice bonus and a welcome challenge to kill JC.
My first UV win (all others were on HNTR).
Thoughts:
Int 3 is a must, without it any "Suddenly monsters come from everywhere" level equals your fast and painful death.
Cateye is not worth it (we have int, remember?).
Hellrunner can save your ass a couple of times, but only worth taking late game when crucial perks are already acquired.
Equipment-wise, acc-modded chaingun + dmg-modded plasma rifle easily get you through the whole game, and BFG comes in handy in those "5 mancubi + 3 arch-viles" situations. Rocket launcher is mainly ammo-saving tool, since late in the game 10mm and cells become a real problem (thats why i have modded combat shotgun + shells in backpack, kinda hurts to spend cells on pain elementals...).
Necroarmor is nice, but only if you absolutely know what you're doing. Those %s it leeches to repair itself can really ruin your day in a serious shootout (JC nearly killed me if it hand't for his BoH meatwall).
As for tactics, hanging near corners shooting chaingun around them is a very viable one, helps taking down occasional hell knights and cacodemons early in the game.
Is it even possible to win on UV with a shotgun build?
