I never thought my first win would be a challenge run. And I really didn't expect it to be a Sharpshooter build, because they always die before they get sharpshooter. Until now at least. :)

My biggest chunk of luck was finding a nano pack in the armory, and an energy vest a couple levels later. I immediately threw both the nano pack and a power mod I had on it. It had to wait for me to find the other two power mods. Nice armor. It made everything from archviles to revenants a piece of cake.

My other piece of luck was in the zillions of ammo chains I kept finding. I think I voluntarily left four, and used one besides the passel I had in my inventory. And that's not counting any other sort of ammo box.

The one place I nearly lost it was trying city of skulls. Usually (in standard games) I figure that place for a pushover. Apparently not having a shotgun puts a different light on the subject. I burned 5 large medpack and 6 small ones getting out of there.

BTW, I understand there is an extended end game (killing a tougher boss than Cybie). Is it a secret how to chose it? Or could someone enlighten me.

[Game Hunter]

My biggest chunk of luck was finding a nano pack in the armory, and an energy vest a couple levels later. I immediately threw both the nano pack and a power mod I had on it. It had to wait for me to find the other two power mods. Nice armor. It made everything from archviles to revenants a piece of cake.

I know I've considered gothic cerberus armor to be a really good armor, but THIS certainly tops it by quite a bit. Quite a bit indeed. You probably could have cleared Mortuary without so much as a med-pack. (Granted, this requires a Nano Pack, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a better use.)

BTW, I understand there is an extended end game (killing a tougher boss than Cybie). Is it a secret how to chose it? Or could someone enlighten me.

We try not to mention it on the forums because it's not immediately obvious to the player, but the Wiki has information on it. Check the Achievements page for a full explanation on victories.
