Actually the reson for death is the arachnotron that jumped behind a door while I was busy with forgetting to put on a blue armor (My only red got melted in previous battle.. Let's just say, it was the first level where I saw A's, and I wasn't a particularly lucky in my starting position.)

This is a stupid death, because, if I had my armor on, I'd survive the B$%#. It was "mortally wounded" when I fired another shot from my pistol into it's head. (Melee range rules with Arachnotrons).


Well mostly the tactic was sniping monsters, and I think pistol with 3*sog is a nice "sniper rifle". It has a damage comparable to chaingun, and uses a lot less ammunition. For survavibility purposes I carried one shotgun weapon, preferably double barrel, since pistol is not strong in close combat. Also a rocket launcher is a must for area effect. Even a single tough as nails improves survivability drastically.

With pistol a full health hell knight goes down with 3-4 clips (100-120 turns). Cacodemons go down in 2-3 clips.. A's go down in 3-4 clips, anything else takes a single clip at most.

Two more things:

1- Although it's pretty obvious, this is not an attempt for gunslinger challenge or pistol only play. Rule is more like : use pistol unless you have to use something else.

2- I didn't go into special level because of various reasons: For arena: I had berserk on, I went down the wrong ladder... berserk makes you color blind... I skipped the wall, since I didn't have RL. For hall's of carnage, it's really stupid, but it's berserk again... I wasn't planning to use bfg anyway, but experience would come handy.
