dual vs. single wield pistols? (and a couple random questions)

<< < (9/18) > >>

Murkglow:
I know it is possible without a phase device or maxed speed (every time I've done it I don't use either of those methods, I don't tend to wear tac armor in that fight or anything).  Then again I've never been surrounded entirely (often I am surrounded on 7 of 8 sides but there is usually a direction I can move), maybe I'm just lucky?  *Shrug*  Still that is probably going to be one of the harder parts of an AoMr run, no two ways about it.

Klear:
Are you sure you were running? That should have given you enough speed to escaped with just a few scratches.
Then again, I think I haven't played AoMr with the new soul AI.

Ashannar:
Another tip is to make sure you start running before the walls drop. You wouldn't think it'd make a big difference, but it does since it mitigates the distance of their initial move.

Those bastards are fast. There's no way I could ever outrun one of them, even with max speed. I hate lost souls with a passion. I'm planning to build an energy pistol when I find the mods, if only for those bastards.

This has me thinking of another tactical consideration. That is, second weapon vs. ammo chain. One lets you switch between damage types, the other gives you almost instant reloads. Even on AoMr, having a solid pistol as a main piece and energy pistol for appropriate situations could be pretty handy.

I had thought of that, but I figured it wouldn't help much. I'll have to give it a shot in my current game (which I just started...again).

Try investing a point into hellrunner. You'll probably want to have dodgemaster before cybie.

I've recently put quite some time into research of how to pass the anomaly on AoHu (10 HP max, so you really don't want to take a scratch) here.

You can see the time it takes you to move on the character information screen (@). Note that the number changes when you enter running mode.
I know for a fact that you can pass the first room in the anomaly if you have (while running) speed 0,38 without taking a single hit. That may be hard to achieve in builds not made for running, but I believe that if you are a tad slower, you should survive the experience.

BTW, you must go towards the door you came from. The other one is closer, but you have to open the door, plus the lost souls spawn closer to it, not to mention the cacodemons.

In any case, there is often a phase device you can use instead, I believe I found it in about half of my games.
