Named Acid Barrel because like 12 out of the 16 runs I've done died due to a former human shooting an acid barrel right next to me at like 30% health while on floor 8~9 :V

Also, hi!

Ahoy. Welcome aboard the SS DoomRL.
Anyway, couple of pointers before I go back to my cabin...

You're carrying far too many medpacks. Once you have more than, say, 6, you should stop hoarding them and just use them as you come across them.
You'll probably want some power cells unless you're really serious about this whole "Shotgun and RL only" thing. The BFG just makes some late-game stuff so much easier as long as you have the cells to feed it with.
Start going in to more special levels, most of them are worth it. The only ones I can see newbs having trouble with is The Wall, Vaults and Mortuary.
I'm not sure if you're already doing this, but make sure you hit "Tab" during tough fights. Running mode makes you miss more often (Not a problem in shotgun games) but also dodge more oftenly too.

[Toan]

medpacks: About 3 large meds will do.
you don't need R1 on your Doubly Shotty if you have reloader AND HR AND Shottyman
Special levels = more exp, but flee Hell's Arena early if you think it's getting too hot.
The speed mod on the RL could have been put on the shotgun..

other than that, beware that you run outta ammo and have to run past stuff/melee them.

[Lowtierhero]

Yeah, I knew the reload pack was a bad idea, I don't actually remember why I did it, lol. Most of the mods I were slaping on was jsut for early experimentations with modding.

I'm pretty deadset on running with Shottyman and Double Shotty, as thats gotten me the farthest so far. the RL was just a nifty find I put to replace my incredibly neglected pistol. I would've loved to take the first plasma rifle I found, but it was already out of ammo when I killed the commando, and there were no energy cells in sight. :(

Ok, I figured I'd carry the medkits for "jsut in case situations", but I usally just found myself scavenging for small health globes at like 60% anyway, so it was never necessary, I found.

As for special arenas, the only ones I found were Hell's Arena (which I avoided, since I had to fight cacodemons on my first run ever and was like ASDF), the Chained Court, and The Wall (which I also avoided since I was doing so good and didn't want to risk dying)

Still, thanks for the tips, I'll try to improve my game. :D

[Toan]

Hell's Arena: Yes, scary w/o a chaingun and approprite traits, but i guess you can make do with some armor, medpacks and a combat shotgun.
Chained Court: uh....easy/free exp? It's just humans and sergeants. Dunno about the real high levels though, so correct me if i'm wrong. Yes there are some cacos/barons, but they kinda caged.
The Wall:Now, if you don't know what you're doing, you will 1.Die, 2.Destroy the shiny Backpack!. So, what you do is, fire at the bottom or top of the Wall, make a small gap then proceed to wipe out those Barons/Viles/Hell Knights. I don't know how to do "code" pictures, so....

[oohhboy]

Hells Arena is pretty much a must including Ultra Violence. The big thing is that it nets you a RL early and you gain a LVL a little quicker. With the RL you can bust open Chained Court for the extra items which are sometimes unique.

The Wall will get you killed unless your ready. Multiple large med packs and armor are a must. Bring multiple weapons. Have chain, plasma, RL at least so instead of reloading, just keep shooting especially if you have juggler. If you have a unique like Missile Launcher or Jackhammer it is a lot easier. BFG if you have it, but it trashes your cover by blowing away too much of the wall. On UV, be prepared to kill the same guy 3 times as the Viles will make any advance as bloody as they can. If your empty use run and take cover to reload. Try not to reload in the open. If you see a vile gun for him. On anything lower than UV there isn't any viles. As nice as the backpack is, you don't need it to win.

I avoid the Mortuary as the reward is nowhere near the trouble you have to deal with. If you want a BFG, you can get one in the Halls of Carnage or sometimes Hell's Armory. You should run both those since they are relatively easy and for most part you can control the engagement. The Lava pit is surprisingly easy on UV if you use a weapon with knock back you just burn the Revants. You must have 2 environment suits though.

[Lowtierhero]

Yeah, I always go through chained court, since not only is it easy EXP, but I get a free Health Refill when I'm done with the Berserk packs. I sort of have a plan for the wall, since the small narrow opening forces the hell barons/Hell Knights to get close in order to LoS me, it puts them right at the brunt of the double shotty, which should wipe them out very quickly, or if they don't come near, I can peck them off from a distance with the RL, and I'll have the other side of the wall to run away and patch up if I take too much damage.

Made another Shottyman today named BLU Scout. Died on floor 1 when an imp shot a fireball at me while I was right next to an Acid barrel. I'm starting to hate those things. *headdesk*

[rekenne]

I do Hell's Arena 100% of the time and never leave early. The resource gain for completing it is just too good. If you don't pull it off, well, you only wasted 5 minutes.

Also, in Chained Court, if you use the Berserk Packs right, you don't even need the RL to get to the goodies. The RL would just blow most of them up anyway, wouldn't it?

[Lowtierhero]

oh, no, when I said camping out in the narrow hallway for hell knights/hell barons, I meant The Wall. I wouldn't even have an RL by Chained Court time. :V
