I tried to repeat the experience of the first passage a second time on the medium as an angel of the shotgun.
The landing on Phobos was quite normal procedure - especially with a shotgun on the edge. There was little firing - the former people were falling one after another. They could not block my way.
I was very happy when, after the entrance to Phobos, and some resistance sergeants, I found lying in the dark super shotgun.
I thought - the victory is already in my pocket! And went into the arena. I broke every evil there for 5-6 minutes, no one even touched me.
Immediately after the victory in the arena and out on 3 levels, I found the assault shotgun. I rejoiced even more - and the second slot was occupied by this hellish weapon. The crowds of monsters have been defeated. I killed the master of the arena a little later. Sorry I did not get to the barons behind the wall - could not get there.
Victory over the "big brothers" even in an environment suite was not a difficult task in the face of the super shotgun. Teleport to the Deimos was successful.
Then I found the armory. My joy knew no bounds when I discovered a plasma shotgun!
I went on and on, killing all in its path. I walked across the hall carnage and the city of skulls.
Stupid death I found in a nest of spiders. I was too stunned by the success of the discovery of such a sharp weapon. I thought I could get through. But there were more. So, and ended my trip. Do not even received any awards.

Although someone will likely contradict me, I think weapon restricted challenges are a lot harder if you don't go for a master trait; I've only played scouts on AoSh, and MSH worked miracles for me... why didn't you go for that?

[pacmanus]

I think - can go to the Mortuary Unholy Cathedral (all messed up :p)- and only with berserk can stand against the evil.
Now I see - only one goal can be achieved in a single run. While it may be necessary to be more successful.
By the way - today tried another run with a modified shotgun - T2, B2, P1. I've been there, but almost all finished off by the end - 99% of the kills. However, I did not go to kill arena master, was not in the Wall, and in The Hall of Carnage and the City of Skulls.

I go to try again now!

[LuckyDee]

Again, why don't you go for the Master? I understand the virtues of taking WK2, but then why do you play a scout and not a tech? For the scout, having your fire time reduced by 67% as well as being able to reload fast and on the move, the Arachnotron cave can be much easier, especially since you will already have your standard move bonus + HR1 (for the Master) and quite possibly tac boots, which puts HR2 and DM within easy reach...

[pacmanus]

Bit a Spideys already! When I finish game - will post a mortem!
I go to master trait now. My chose - I like gaming for scout. And WK2 Scout more responsible for me than Technician!
And I like to do some randomized trait chose - because some magic moments I still alive.

[thelaptop]

Your save count seems... excessive.

Perhaps you should try to play through non-challenge levels targetting a Master trait first to get a better hang of the game, as opposed to relying on so many saves and nearly random trait advancement.

Traits are in some sense, the life blood of the game.  Master traits have synergies that add up quite substantially for certain play styles, and as such can make it easier.  Try that first to have a better feel for the game before experimenting something more exotic...
