So I guess I've officially moved to UV as my standard difficulty. My plan right now is to play a lot of standard games just to find the remaining assemblies. This run didn't give me schematics, but at least I got my first UV full win and nearly gatekeeper diamond.
I've tried to get into rapid fire builds again. At first I tried ammochain, but it seemed it didn't give me enough DPS and I got my ass kicked. Cateye is higly praised on the forums, but for me Int 2 is enough, I don't need to know what it is, as long as I can blast it. I experimented with entrenchment, but that didn't work out for me either, so I went for a masterless marine build instead and wow... it was awesome.
I skipped chined court, since I'm still a little afraid of the arena master, and then found invuln. next to the doors to the wall. That gave me some hope for cleaing the anomaly without any damage, so I ran for the stairs and was able to clean the first anomaly room easily. Unfortunately, sicne I skipped the wall, I didn't have the missile launcher, which is my standard way of dealing with the bruisers. I did my best to damage them outside the LOS and they pushed me back to the starting room. With no way to kill them fast enough, I used a phase which gave me a few more potshots at them. As I was retreating back, I had to use a large medkit at full helath just to be able to run anway and with some luck managed to kill them without taking a scratch. I knew I was just one lucky invuln away from my first diamond badge, but RNG had other ideas, so I unfortunately took some damage from Cybie. Thinking back, maybe I should have gone for dodgemaster right after anomaly, but I didn't want to screw my build and get killed before even reaching the big C.
Armory gave me an F mod, and I soon had enough cells to say goodbye to my gatling gun and tons of 10mm ammo. Ammo stopped being a concern once I cleaned the spider lair and got my nuclear plasma.
In any case, I realized I can get veteran platinum, so I went to the lava pits and played it extremely safe - I killed all the nearby monsters and then unloaded the full nuclear clip of my rifle aiming at each single tile in the oposite direction before venturing forward. And in on the little island where you get higher chances of better armour I found the whole phaseshift set! This is the first time I had that and it certainly made the game a lot easier, though I used ABP modded red armour most of the time.
Then I finally stood against the Ultra Violent version of JC himself... who proved to be no problem at all, getting a few facefuls of plasma and BFG when he tried to call his friends. He fell much quicker than I expected.
Edit: Forget the mortem (facepalm)
