HR x2 EE x2 INT x2 is what I consider the best build to get this badge. The reason I post this mortem is that I was surprised Game Hunter did not mention Intuition in his Badges Guide (which is an awesome piece of writing nonetheless). Intuition makes this badge a piece of cake. Its 1st level reveals the location of powerups, two of which (Invulnerability globe and computer map) are very useful. Its second level shows you the position of enemies, which allows you to plan your route better. It is also the best guarantee you won't end up with a stray lost soul/demon in a remote part of the level. The run seemed more difficult for me at the beginning than after I took Int2.

HR x2 EE x2 INT x2 is what I consider the best build to get this badge...Its 1st level reveals the location of powerups, two of which (Invulnerability globe and computer map) are very useful. Its second level shows you the position of enemies, which allows you to plan your route better. It is also the best guarantee you won't end up with a stray lost soul/demon in a remote part of the level. The run seemed more difficult for me at the beginning than after I took Int2.

I suppose I haven't gotten back to Quartermaster Platinum in a while. I'll try a few runs on it to compare the two, but getting HRx2 followed by Intx2 does sound pretty solid on HNTR: since the Platinum is easy enough as it is, I hadn't really looked too much into optimizing the build. Mind you, I do suggest a Cateye build (courtesy of UltimateChaos), which already gets you Int1...it's not a big leap to consider adding another point for precise enemy locations.

I'll add your contribution to the guide after a quick test (though it's barely necessary). Quartermaster Diamond, on the other hand, is something I'll definitely want to test that build on, having practically no success with other builds (shotty got me as far as City of Skulls). The major concern I have in going for Intx2 and/or Cateye is that EEx2 is pretty wasteful, especially when your primary weapons in many cases are shotguns (for that massive spread) or rockets. In particular, it gets difficult enough later on to simply kill everything in five minutes, even if you know where all of them are, which is why Fin and Rel are so important, not to mention Iro/TaN for survival. I'd get into it more, but for now, I'll just try out your build and see what happens.

[Game Hunter]

Okay, after a couple of failed HAs, I managed a run using the HR->HR->EE->EE->Int->Int strategy, and it works pretty damn well. Though, with the way that the AI runs toward the center of the map, the only levels that pose significant unknown threats are mazes and Maze of Rooms that have either tons of rooms or those dreaded long hallways. Ultimately, I can't say I was ever in any significant danger of timing out after Int2. It's definitely good enough for Platinum, I'll be testing it out on the Diamond for (what is hopefully) a more successful strategy.

Coincidentally, I chose a shotty build after Int anyway: getting super shotgun and assault shotgun simply make that too good to pass up. Maybe it's just me, but I had horrible luck (which is to say, no luck) trying to blow open walls with the Railgun. Maybe it was "fixed"...which is fine, the weapon was a bit too omnipotent that way. It certainly makes Mortuary a breeze.

Here's the mortem:
