So I thought to myself it is high time I grabbed my first UV win, with secondary objectives being Veteran Gold Badge (for 100% kills) and Veteran Platinum Badge (full win). So far I only managed to win UV on AoMc (obviously) and AoSh, so I decided to go with a shotgun build. It can't be much harder than the challenge, right?
Anyway, I put my first two points into reloader when I suddenly found the Grammaton Cleric Beretta. I obviously withdrew my plans and started investing points into SoG. It turns out that reloader is pretty handy with GCB so I wasted nothing. I didn't get dualgunner, since what's one more bullet when I can shoot a burst of eight when I get TH? Bullet dance wouldn't have helped me much either, so I went masterless for maximum damage - SoG, SoB, EE and TH and it was worth it.
I skipped the chained court (and so later vaults as well), since I wasn't sure I could pull it off at that time, but I did clean out the wall (with some serious scratches) for the first time on UV - I was lucky that the viles decided to peek into the hole first. Spider lair was a walk in the park, since I could kill the spiders with two semi-automatic bursts before they could move after teleporting/comming into my view. With a red fireproof armour cybie didn't cause me any trouble at all.
Things started to be a little dangerous in hell, but nothing I couldn't handle by now. The most dangerous moment was when some tougher enemies knocked me into lava in their midst and while I could likely kill them before they could attack again, but each shot cost me 10% hp, since I only had tactical boots. I realized that when I had last 10%, ate a large medpack and got faceful of acid or what was is, which brought me back down to 56%. Luckily, a phase got me to safety after that.
I avoided the mortuary, even though I think I could have beaten it. I didn't want to risk it. With only one protective suit, I decided to skip the lava pits as well, which cost me the full win, but I had no problem to get my YAAM.
Oh, and I came to Dis carrying 2 power modded blue armours just in case Malek's armour didn't do the trick... and ended up killing the mastermind before she got a single shot in. Another Brain for me, and the rare Grammaton Cleric Cross, which I believe really deserved for using GCB almost exclusively from level 2 onwards =)
The only way this run could have been more fun would be if I played scout and could have taken gun kata... maybe some other time...
