Well that was fun. I think I found my new favorite Ao100 build. The main idea was to get Intx2, SoBx3, SoGx3 and whizkid, so I wouldn't have to waste ammo shooting in the dark and to maximize how much damage 100 bullets could do. Too bad I never found a Blaster, making it P2T3 would have made it possibly the best weapon ever. Even with Finx2, SoGx3 and a P2T3 pistol (my starting one) I had a firing speed of 0.17 and +6 damage to each shot. With the Blaster's starting speed 0.7 and it's ammo regeneration, it's hard to imagine a more powerful weapon.

I started the run using the chaingun, switching to the combat shotgun once I hit Intx2 at level 6. Once I picked up plasma, I ditched the chaingun entirely. Then I found the Beretta, which would have been great normally, but already had plans for a P2T3 single-shot pistol and in single shot mode the Beretta is roughly a P2B3.5 pistol. So I kept it for a few levels then ditched it for the inventory space, right around the time I found the Jackhammer. I figured the Jackhammer would chew through ammo, so I didn't bother with it. A few levels later after I had taken my first level of SoG I found the nuclear plasma rifle. It was awesome. I put SoG on hold to grab a few levels of Tan/Whizkid. At some point I find the phaseshift boots, throw an agility mod on it and am pretty happy. I find two sets of phaseshift armor, put AP on one and kept the other blank. Now I'm walking around at clevel 19 with all the traits I want, then I find the Onyx armor pack. I immediately put it on the blank phaseshift armor and ditch the rest of my armor (including a blank onyx armor). After that it was smooth sailing to the end.

When I found the Trigun on level 99 I kept it but didn't use it. I was only getting a 0.2 firing speed with it and my trusty starting pistol had 0.17, so I stuck with the faster gun. I entered level 100 invulnerable with Trigun, but since I hadn't nuked any other levels I wasn't going to start now. Then I find the Cybernetic armor after I had finished clearing the level. Didn't matter if I put it on or not, since there was no more enemies left.

Over all I think this was a lot more fun than an ammochain Ao100, plus using bullets/nuclear weapons meant I always had plenty of ammo.

This looks like a really fun run -- I wonder if I'm up to it to try it on my next UV run?

Good job on the YAAM!  22+ hours of non-stop action... is a little too much for me to bear heheheh...

You should definitely try it. The 22 hours is misleading, a good chunk of that was sleeping and preparing/eating two meals. It was probably only around 6-8 hours, but I don't like the dirty saving messages so I just leave the game open when I walk away.

Since the main weapon of this build is 'guaranteed' in Ao100 (P2T3 pistol), anything else you find just adds flavor to the game. Nulcear weapons and onyx armors are nice, but the pistol is the only required item.

I just like how you picked to earn Veteran Gold with what is possibly the hardest (but still sane) way to do it. Bravo.

While I wouldn't call P2T3 a guarantee (one game it took me forty floors just to get one A), just having Finx2/SoBx3/SoGx3 is actually quite powerful by itself. (Personally I prefer P3T2 because of the better knockback, especially if it's single-pistol play.) Had you gotten Trigun earlier, the difference in damage outweighs the 0.03s gain as a matter of DPS. Of course, a full-modded blaster beats BOTH, which is why it is my very close second favorite pistol.

TaN is kinda surprising, but I can see it justified if you were low on armor at the time: as it stands, it's better to have sheer health to withstand insta-death chances, rather than keep yourself alive healthy over the long run. Badass is nice, but comparing 100/50 to 80/80 (with another 80 in potential), combined with the greater usefulness of med-packs, I'd pick Iro most days.

If I play UV Ao100, I'm probably gonna try it without MAc or Int. Single-pistol play is the most likely candidate at that point, perhaps hybriding an exotic shotty or nuclear weapons, all the while hoping for that blaster (or Trigun, or Jackal as a space-friendly 'sploder). For some reason I just don't LIKE Intx2, makes me feel like I lose my own personal sense of Intuition for when I don't have it.

SoBx3 and SoGx3 does knockback a decent amount. Part of the reason I didn't use Trigun was that I had gotten Trigun during an M Ao100 game with a similar build. The speed is better for packs of weak enemies, Trigun is better for everything else. So I'd have to agree with you.


TaN is kinda surprising,...
Honestly I'm so used to taking TaN for MVa that I didn't even stop to consider ironman might be better.

That is barely on the border of sane, it's probably something I won't be trying anytime soon.


I think I'm going to do this run again, but instead of Tanx3, Badass and the last EE, I'm going to try Irox3, triggerhappy and cateye. I'll probably keep doing this until the next version comes out.
