Before him 139 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
119 of those were killed.
4 of those were killed by something unknown.
1 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
And 11 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
Is he immortal? 4 souls claim to have killed him...
4 killed the bastard and survived.

My first win on hard, once again with my beloved pistols. Numerically I still think max trait pistols are better dps/hitrate than max trait chaingun? The only downside is you can't keep another weapon in the prepared slot.

Also, I didn't get any unique pistols, which usually make a huge difference in a pistol marine's power. Lava pits at lev 23 were pretty useless, I should have just skipped it. Chickened out and used a few shots of BFG/rockets on Cybie - how would you deal with him with pistols? Plus his sight range seems to be 9 or something...hiding around corners doesn't help that much?

I think intuition's pretty useful - you can fire around corners without being spotted - the only pain is always having to re-aim the firing reticle/cursor after each shot. You need to keep a lot of ammo in reserve to do this though; lots of missed shots: I usually try to keep 600 rounds all the time, didn't see the wall this game so it took a lot more space. It's doubly annoying when you realize you're not making any progress because an arch-vile is resurrecting what you just shot ("Hey, how come the number of dots is still the same!").

I've never seen an invul globe on the 24th floor! Hrmmm....

Killing Cybie with Pistols? I laugh at the idea. We would need Cateye 4 in order to pull it off.

Kornel Kisielewicz:
How do you think people complete AoMr, huh? ;)

Edit : LOLWUT? or LMFAO! 2000th post! xD

Good luck, Hellrunner, TaN, Armor and Replacement Armor, Strategy, Modded/Unique pistols, and at least two LMPs... or a thermie (and invuln) ;)

Styro:
I am surprised to see so many speed mods on your pistols. I generally consider speed to be the weakest mod for weapons. Particularly for pistols since your speed is lowered so much by the pistol traits already.

Am I missing something? Or did you just not find anything better?

My preference for pistols is:
Damage
Magazine
Reload
Accuracy
Speed
