Congrs, it's a progress. Try to fire in dark, there are so many K and Barons(i don't remember exactly, who)? so you will miss only few rockets. Orient, where is they by sound.

If you'd ask me you shouldn't go in there in first place - I personally never found that Adv. RL worth the almost certain death at The Wall

Agreed... I often just go to the wall level to plug my ear on the wall and hear the demons yelling.

I don't understand, why all of you fear The Wall so. And why you don't count Advanced RL worth picking.
I really love this level. IMHO is you already have RL and enough rockets, you can deal with BoHs without any loss of health(i did it, it's possible). Just fire from far into the darkness and use knockback of RL. You can always keep them on distance, and with new prepared slot you can always hold something for those, who are morally wounded or almost dead.

Agreed... I often just go to the wall level to plug my ear on the wall and hear the demons yelling.

For what? To loose percentage of kills? If i can't clear special level, i'm not going to it at all.

Some of us aren't percentage people, after all.  We like to hold our right to remain violent, though.

That's fighting tons of HK's and barons for getting an average 2 point increase in damage (change from 4-16 to 4-20). And the RL is a very conditional weapon (needs enough space to use it). So i'd rather not do it unless I'm very sure I can handle it.

As for shooting blind, it works, sure, but it also has a risk - that was the way I first cleared the wall (back on ... uh - 0.9.7?), only to find out I blown up the Adv RL I was fighting for.

Overall I'd stay with other weapons - regular RL is enough for tasks that I use it.

(change from 4-16 to 4-20).
to 6-20, i suppose?
What about destroyed reward - i don't know, i cleared The Wall at least 10 times in 0980 and never destroyed ARL. Usually i'm standing not against Wall, but in lower side of the map, under the hole i made , firing directly up to appearing BoHs. You can make a hole in upper side of wall, or in lower, if you want, and fire in - then you surelly won't destroy ARL.

normal RL is 4d4 (4-16)... advanced should change it to 4d5 (4-20)...

Agree, my mistake. Well, really, nearly no difference between RL and ARL. But you can cut some experience from BoHs ,and restore then all rockets that you loose on them.
