Well, no, as you need first to lower the certain wall piece, and only then will the explosion be able to destroy the vault's contents.

Hi,
first of all-thanks to everyone who has been involved in the making of this game-it's really amazing how turn-based Doom can exist,and still be fun to play.
That's also the first Roguelike game,where I was able to win(previously I was struggling through Nethack for roughly four years).DoomRL also has many small details,which make it more than just bland "kill'em all".

To the point:
I suceeded at nuking Spider Mastermind,(that was my 28 charaster),unlocked some of those veery interesting challeng-games,and decided to try Angel of Marksmanship(I simply love movies and games where protagonist is armed with dual-pistols-Max Payne,Matrix,Equilibrium,Hard Boiled and so on =)).I was afraid to run out of ammo,or that pistols will be to weak to rely on them constantly.Surprisingly for me,even standard pistols backed up by Gankata ability and others,which I acqured to get it,were a formidable weapon,and I had little problems shooting everything that was moving.More than that-very few enemies could even retaliate before diying under rain of steel.But then I reached Cyberdemon,and died in,like,five seconds...

is it even possible to kill him,using standart pistols(enchanced to have bigger clip-size),duelist armor,and a couple of large medpacks?
My biggest mistake was that I didn't attend to any special levels,except of Hell's Armoury.I was too uncofident,and in the end my poor equipment was a fatal factor.But still-I was able to kill Cyberdemon previously,going all-out,using BFG,enchanced shotgun,rocketlauncher, and two red armours-with all of that my charaster was on the verge of death,while at last killed that sob.And how do I supposed to handle it with pistols alone?

I'm sorry for my horrible english,hope that I didn't made too much mistakes.

I found it actually quite easy on Gun Kata, once you get the timing right: you'll have to get the Dodgemaster skill for GK, which allows you to automatically dodge the first shot fired at you immediately after you move. As such, if you time it right, you fire a couple of shots (I think 4), sidestep and watch the missile fly away, take your remaining shots and reload, and sidestep again. Repeat.

It'll take you a few tries to get the timing right, but when you do it works like a charm. Also, remember that you can hear when Cybie reloads, which comes in handy as well.

thelaptop:
Take cover -- Gun Kata isn't designed for open field combat.  Move to a safe place to reload -- reload one gun first, then use the dual-reload when it is safe.

Always move perpendicular to the direction of closest movement to Cybie and you ought to be fine.  =)

It isn't? Good thing I named myself Lucky...
