I think the way Game Hunter does CC+ is more consistent: grab chainsaw + 1 berserk pack, rocket a few captains, then head straight for the arena master, kill him, and use the staff if you're swarmed. Then hightail it back to the center, killing any barons on the way before berserk wears off.

... or the way 2DeviationsOut does it: enter CC with just an unmodded pistol, then stare at the screen which causes all the enemies present to spontaneously explode.

I lol'd.

Seriously though, I grab a zerk off of a chainsaw, then pop the upper right door open, and move up to cornershoot the top barons while they're in line with the ammo, and then cautiously go for the mod. Then, I sweep down and cornershoot the barons on the bottom. After that, I go back inside the room, pick up the bottom zerk, and then go for the Arena Master, hugging the bottom wall. The moment I see anything respawn, I swap to the rocket launcher and pepper that direction with rockets, and hear for a hitreg off of the Arena Master. From there I spray fire to catch the formers, and move in for the kill. I stay right near the LOS of the Arena Master, and the moment I see it start to attack I back off and keep firing at it's last position. I repeat this until it's dead. Then all that's left is the cleanup.

How do you outrun it, given that it has 150% speed? You get 2xHR and Agi on boots already, or rely on run/zerk?

I think I'll try grabbing one of the zerks right away (so the barons can't destroy that one, at least) to help clear the starting area. I'm also thinking about rocket jumping towards the arena master the first time I see him (I think you should be able to evade his attacks this way at about the same damage cost) and chainsaw him to death, to save rockets for the wall.

Speaking of the wall, here's another bad habit of mine: insisting on finishing every damn special level whether or not it'll cost me my life. I've actually never seen the "regular" chained court in a standard game.

@Hammer and Noir: custom soundbinds

Pretty useful information, will get on that stat. What do I put in sound.lua to do that? Specifically, what's the entity code for AM?

my worst habit was, up to 995:

making antigrav gothic boots, because of its 10/10 you can travel over lava relatively safe, then totally forgeting about your boots wearing (you simply dont care about it), then making cerberus gothic armor because of its durability, and then feeling like antigravity fortress. Le Fu~

the same way:  my lovest armor set is phaseshift gravity boots and cerberus phaseshift armor.  It still has sense in 996. Then again, i used to forget about boots wearing at all, swappin cerv phase to something other and keep walking in lava. Le Fu~

Berserk means you're resistant to damage, not invulnerable. "AHAHAHA, MEAT" is not a sustainable combat strategy.

Maybe one day I'll actually LEARN that lesson.

You must not be berserking properly. Are you holding a rocker launcher or minigun at all times?

You know, minigun is useless to got zerked. Unlike rocket launcher. :)

I've got a new one - treating the tactical shotgun like it was a combat shotgun (or rather like it was standard shotgun). I rarely realize that I can unload all the shells at once without reloading.

I've the same. Along with often reloading rapidfire weapon when i got ammmochain.
