Here's why it's better to run to the left on HNTR:

The lost souls on the far right will immediately rush you, cutting off your way. Also, the int 2 reveled enemies farther to the right are the cacos, who will attack you when going for the right door.

Edit: In this run I had running speed 0.4 again, so it's not enough to get unscratched to either door. I still have to try to reach the right door with speed 0.32 though.

BTW, in this run (AoHu again), I went a few steps to the right and got surrounded, so I whipped up a phase device thinking that it was enough science for now, and the blasted thing teleporteted me to the upper left corner in this very room. Luckily I was able to run away, though it cost me half of my HP.

The run was almost perfect and very easy after I made a nano missile launcher in the armory, but I got greedy and a mancubus killed me on 4th level of hell =(

It seems like anytime I read about an infinite-firing kill-everything-ever gun, a mancubus pops up and kills the creator. It's like there's some Curse of Tubba out to kill people with superguns.

this curse is called "overconfidence" and is normal for a doomguy to succumb to... Well, I'm now at level 92 on UV with a nanomachic/F plasma rifle which IS the gun you describe, with a nuke-BFG at the ready if I need to whack a crowd at once. Well, Cateye helps to evade mancubi to a certain degree, but I have troubles with a cyberdemon in close quarters.

If you finish Hell's Arena, chances are you'll find phaseshift armour

Problem! I just finished Hell's Arena, and I got a ballistic vest instead of a phaseshift armor. This gives me a problem with the out-running strategy...

Then hope for a phase device and/or plenty of agility mods for your armour/boots.

Hell's arena gives you either the phasehift armour, the ballistic vest or acid-proof boots.
And take hellrunner. With a running speed 0.32, you're probably guaranteed to be able to escape without taking a scratch, but I believe even if you are slower it's possible to escape the souls, though you will lose a few hitpoints.

Jump to UV/N! and screw all that kindergarten.

Yeah, that can also work, as long as you only use an unmodded pistol and don't take SoG.

Another attempt and more data (and I'll stop with these reports from now on): I had running speed 0.38 (HR2, tactical armour, running, being a scout) and I escaped the souls without taking a scratch again, though it was very close (you have to zig zag a little, so that you only move to tiles that are not adjacent to lost souls).

That means that as a scout you only need to find single agility mod and take hellrunner to be able to pass anomaly without damage. Hope that helps.

Ballistic vest is probably the least useful of the Hell's Arena rewards. Who needs a vest when you already have a P-modded red armor?

So, I figured out a way to survive Anomaly without phaseshift. Put on the red armor, have some shotgun in your secondary slot, and rocket launcher in primary. grab a large health globe so you are at 200%, and then immediately run. As soon as the walls explode, rocketjump to the left, then run a few spaces left, then switch to shotgun and shoot the lost souls. You will take damage but survive.
