-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 Before him 56 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 45 of those were killed.
 1 of those was killed by something unknown.
 And 6 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 4 souls claim to have killed him...
 4 killed the bastard and survived.

--------------------------------------------------------------

If you've been tracking my progress my first four wins were on HNTR. Eventually I hit that wall where, hey, looks like I'll need to get a bunch of silver medals to get the next rank. So naturally I had to scale my play up some in order to adapt to the new difficulty. It was hard at first, having to be more careful and methodical, but eventually I got the hang of it. The main thing that made the biggest difference was not being stingy with my med-packs. Other than that I learned a few tricks I can use to manage my inventory, ammochain being one of them.

Part of winning the game on higher difficulties is being able to adapt your playstyle to what the game randomly throws in your way. For example, I oftentimes have problems managing my inventory, and as a result, I sometimes end up with real problems later such as not having enough ammo, healing, or other miscellaneous tools. Having to walk across 5 tiles of lava  because you didn't want to take that environment suit is not a worthwhile trade to make if you're carrying 8+ stacks of 10mm ammo or more than 4 or 5 med-packs. Carrying a good amount of rockets is hard to do, but I find carrying 20 + 1 in the pipe is a good amount. As many cells as you can carry, and 4 or 5 stacks of ammo for your primary if applicable. Shotguns can be really good late game and they don't get an ammochained weapon. Chainguns can be hard to keep ammo for until you get MAc but just remember to use your other weapons and you'll be fine.

MAc is a great master trait. You need triggerhappy with it which increases your average damage and you can get WK really easily from that too, and so with the amount of mods I was finding I decided that's exactly what I'd do. Ammochain also works wonderfully with Finesse and the right mods. My modified plasma rifle had 2 agility, 2 power, and 1 tech. The added accuracy was a must since I couldn't put any points into Eagle Eye. The power was a must because bulk wasn't an option, adding to the clip size with MAc is completely pointless. Tech mod to reduce the firing time helped save my skin in a lot of tight situations.

You'll notice how I cleaned up The Mortuary. It was kind of hard but since they were so generous with the placement of Supercharges I was able to defeat it no problem. I didn't find anything good there or at The Vaults, but I did get most of my mods from Hell's Armory. I spent most of the game in modified blue/red armor. Red armor with a power mod is pretty amazing. With 2 levels of WK, red armor with APT is even better. However, I found the Necroarmor after that, and AA after that. Once I had level 2 WK, it was all over. Nothing could stop me.

I went downstairs and killed cybie without even letting him fire at me.
