[2DeviationsOut]

This was one of the hardest games that I've played in a while. I almost never use shotguns, and I really missed the offensive potential that Ammochain gives me.

Notes:

Throughout this game, I was barely staying alive, and I had to nuke the mortuary and then I couldn't nuke the Mastermind. I'm definitely used to having the damage potential that Ammochain and Whizkid offer. I also had huge problems with the short range that shotguns have, since I usually shoot from near the edge of my line of sight, and with shotguns I would usually have to fire an entire magazine in order to kill an enemy at that range. Eventually I defaulted to constantly radar-shooting and having extra armors around for when my current one was destroyed. Still, I managed to kill the Mastermind, but the only reason that that happened was that I used the Lava Element to close with it and then I double-shottied it to death.

What makes this really interesting to me is that I use the shotgun *a lot.*  It's my workhorse weapon for taking care of any large group of enemies, or individual large enemies that I want to knock back.  I only switch to rapid-fire weapons when there's something I want dead fast, like an Arch-Vile.  (I guess this is partly why Shotgunnery Diamond was my first Diamond of 0.9.9.4)

Just different playing styles, I guess.  :)
