This should've been a Marksman Diamond badge, except for a careless error at the end...
Normally, if I want to heal myself while there are enemies facing me, I'll step behind cover first, if possible, so they can't shoot me while I'm using the med-pack. Sometimes, this is a risky move, but it often saves health in the long run.
In this case, I got hit by a Mancubus barrage which wounded me, but didn't kill me. There was some convenient cover one square away, so I stepped behind it, forgetting that with the new AI, Mancubi fire off a second barrage, even if they can't see you. The explosion radius from one of the Mancubus rockets was enough to finish me off, even though it missed me. :( Come to think of it, there really was no reason for me to seek cover, considering I was a technician and could use med-packs instantaneously; I just did it out of force of habit. If I had taken a moment to think, I probably would have healed first and then sought cover.
It was a very promising game, considering that I had Sharpshooter ability and I was lucky enough to find a Trigun! (Not to mention 4 ammo chains!) The knockback from the Trigun kept anything from getting close enough to significantly damage me and once I had Intuition 2, the rest of the game should've been a cakewalk. The only reason I got hit by that Mancubus barrage mentioned above was that I didn't realize that I had emptied my ammochain, and so the last time I reloaded the Trigun, it took the full 2 seconds instead of instantly reloading. (Hmm... There should probably be a different message displayed if you use the last of the ammo in an ammo pack; something eye-catching)
The other thing that's noteworthy about this run is that it's the first time I've conquered the Arena in a Nightmare Marksman game! Every other game in which I won Hell's Arena at Nightmare was either Max Carnage or Berserk. (the latter, only once) Having a speedloader pistol at the beginning of the game was a huge help! :) (though I just barely survived HA with 8% health) After taking down the Arena Master, I briefly considered going for the Conqueror badge, but then it occurred to me that I would have to beat Unholy Cathedral and the Mortuary and I thought better of it. :P
