So I used three phases and couldn't get into the middle vault of the Vaults..
BDR:
..and now I'm wondering why there's not an easier way in. I have nice stuff this game, but I can always use another unique and I would have really liked to get the badge for this as well as the 100% kills badge.
Edit: Thinking about it, there are three things that would make this less of a problem in my eyes. 1. Give the silver badge on defeating the two side vaults. 2. Make a series of teleporters that place you directly in each of the vaults (a difficulty increase but one which takes the buggeriness of trusting to random phasing to get you there). 3. Change homing devices so that you can pick your destination instead of them always sending you to the stairs.

If you are playing the release version, the silver badge is bugged I think (based on the DoomRL Wiki).
Phase devices are highly unpredictable anyway. The probability that you will end up in the centre vault is slightly less than 20% (very rough estimate), if you count the total possible number of spaces that you land. Thus, the expected number of phase devices to reach the centre is roughly 5, on average. Using only three and missing occurs more likely than one might be led to believe.
BDR:
5 slots of inventory is quite a lot of space to be asked to dedicate for that purpose.
thelaptop:
Yes it is. That's why it is an achievement to complete the Vaults. However, Phase Devices are very useful in normal fights anyway -- combine them with small medpacks and you can be pretty unkillable in the long run. Oh, and fighting Cybie would be easier, since you could [usually] phase away to reload + heal before charging in once more to take him out, particularly if you have very bad dodging ability due to a lack of HR + DM.

I'm a savescummer. I load my game about 10-15 times (with 2 phase devices in my inventory) until I get into the middle vault (on UV). I think the percentage of getting into the middle vault from 1 phase device is about 5% only. Does the RNG hate savescummer like me?
