DRL > 0.9.9.6
[M|97%|YAVP] My first HNTR win (Now w/ AoMr, AoSh, & AoB)
ZicherCZ:
First, grats on the win!
About the nuke: On HNTR you have 8 minutes of gametime before it goes off. Unless some monster wanders astray or phases, it's usually enough time to clear the whole level.
Note that it is _game time_, so having your speed boosted (by Hellrunner, faster fire/reload, berserk, tactical armor/boots, whatever) helps a lot.
Also note that the nuke timer is shorter (IIRC) by 1 minute per each level of higher difficulty.
HexaDoken:
*Applauds*
Even providing that this is HNTR, a winstreak is a definite achievement. Congrats!
Klear:
First of all, congrats!
Second, what ZicherCZ wrote is right. I'd just add that in Angel of Red Alert you get a nuke on each level with only 5 minutes and as I recall, it didn't give me too much trouble when I was at your skill level (that is, amazed that I managed to finish a HNTR game. BTW, it's quite probable that you will win on this difficulty most of the times from now on). AoRA will teach you that you don't have to clean the levels completely, so it's a useful challenge to attempt soon. As an added bonus, once you manage to beat that, the 8 minute nukes will seem like a joke compared to it, trust me. You have all the time in the world in such a level.
I've only just now discovered that AoRA is MUCH easier with scout, hellrunner, tactical armour... anything that boosts your speed. I've completed it as a red armoured marine anyway, but I'm currently trying to beat it with 100% kills and I think gun kata build is the way to do it witout much difficulty. We'll see =)
Ashannar:
Thanks for the tips on the nuke levels.
Aaaaand here's a 3-streak win 100% AoSh!

This one wasn't too bad until the end. My tactical armor got blown up by a bastard of a mancubus/vile combo (and I only found 2 agi mods all game). Bad luck caused me to burn all but one medipack by the time I reached the mastermind. What could I do? I grabbed my tactical shotgun, donned some red armor, and prepared to kiss my ass goodbye. That was without a doubt the most difficult fight I've ever had.
One wrong move, and I'd have been toast. In hindsight, it might have been easier if I had worn no armor, but I didn't dare risk that. Basically what I had to do is: shoot the thing when it was at the maximum possible distance to be shot at, and ONLY then. Then hightail it the hell behind the pillar, and mirror mastermind's moves for a long time until she gets bored and wanders off again. Rinse and repeat. It took about 175 shotgun shells to kill her. You can imagine how long that took.
Oh, and btw: if I hadn't had intuition 2, there is absolutely no way I would have been able to win. Not a chance. I'm in the camp of people who think that int 2 is broken, making the game far too easy. But against the mastermind, not only is it balanced, but I'd say you're still a little outclassed. Maybe MAD makes things a little more balanced, but I'm actually concerned about how one is expected to take out the mastermind conventionally using shotguns. It doesn't seem possible without a ton of movement speed bonus or int 2.
It might have been better if I hadn't done a shottyhead build. It's pretty weak for the bosses.
Ashannar:
4-streak AoB.

The run wasn't too notable, except I found an onyx armor pack and two nano packs. I just slapped the onyx on a red armor and it served me well. I also never found anything other than the chainsaw. *shrug* It worked well enough.
