For some reason, going down the stairs from level 100 was reported as "killed by something", even though it is shown as PT0/ST1 in "Show player"->"Challenges".

Anyway, I got a Jackhammer quite early (hence Rel(2)->Shottyman) and then Beretta and Jackal later on (was at level 17 when found Beretta so managed only SoaG(2)).  Late game was mostly Jackal/Missile Launcher, sometimes used Jackhammer when the going went tough and I was low on rockets.   Overall, it is a war of attrition - you have to plan carefully in order not to run out of ammo (as reflected in my topic "Ao100 - ammo management!" over at "Discussion" forum).  I skipped killing the remainder of the enemies on several levels - both to conserve ammo and to have a greater chance of surviving and winning the whole thing.  Well...  I did!

Add Assault Shotgun to the list of uniques I've found - there was no reason to pick it up, what's with Jackhammer already in my possession...  Also, there were plenty of advanced plasma rifles, but again - I decided that Beretta and later Jackal are better use of ammo slots.

Anyway, here it goes:

Did you wear Gothic Boots all the time ? They are significally slowing you down ...

[Zi]

Nice work.  After hitting xp level 19 though, there's no need to kill enemies unless they're in your way - that'll save you lots of ammo.  Your pistols must have hit really hard - 3 SoB AND 2 SoG?  10 damage minimum with the Anti-Freak Jackal (before enemy armor)!  Not to mention your 1 Fin and 2 Rel.  If you had the ammo, though, the Grammaton on full-auto (with SoG) is really something to behold.  Not only do you shoot the same amount of shots as a chaingun with each pull of the trigger, you do a bit more damage, AND it takes much less time per shot.

That Necroarmor looks like it served you well.  It's so much better than Baron/Gothic, as those slow you down so much.

[Zarin]

A few answers:

1. After hitting level 19 I did skip as many enemies as possible, except for nice tight groups of former humans, sergeants and captains - quite a source of ammo, I should say :).  Sometimes, though, I did get carried away and cleaned the floor just for fun.

2. Gothic Boots do slow you down, but with Necroarmor's speed bonus your total time per more is 1.03 s, which is fine with me.  I did not bother to remove them each time (not that there was any free slot in my inventory).  And there is enough lava in deeper levels to make me want something like that (even though plasteel boots with boots protection mod and TaN(3) give the same effect).

3. Full auto on Beretta is extremely powerful indeed, but is quite a waste of ammo and forces you to reload way too often.  On the other hand, single shots are fast, pack quite a punch and often push back even Barons, Revenants and Arch-Viles, which is enough for one-on-one combat.  Once I found the Jackal, though, I relegated the Beretta to side-arm duty only.  Still, SoB(3)+SoaG(2) give Beretta's full auto almost the same power as the plasma rifle (with much better accuracy).

4. Necroarmor is HUGE - thanks to that permanent 6 ammo, you get damaged so much less in it, even factoring in the life-sucking.  I'd say that it was the absolute best find for me in the whole game...  I carried Malek's Armor in backpack for quite some time in case the Necroarmor becomes problematic, but that time just never came :)
