This took me far more tries than I'd like. After being unable to even get to Sharpshooter, I tried to go with ammochain instead, which is much easier in the early game. Best attempt with that build was when I found a sniper mod in the armoury which completely nullified ammochain's weakness - blocked EE. Unfortunately, a nuke level and cleverly hidden stairs lead to YASD... at least I got to see the stairs just before the detonation.

Today I started to try sharpshooter again and it went better. One of the runs gave me Jackhammer in the armoury which I used for quite some time after getting sharpshooter, but alas, eventually it was yet another YASD. YAYASD? Whatever...

This run started well enough, Hell's armoury gave me a nano pack and I wisely decided to hold onto it to make gravity boots. By inventory was quite cramped until I could get WK2 but it was worth it. I think I got it early after spider's lair, where I somehow lost all my armour, but the ability to run circles around anybody else compensated for the lack of protection.

On the first level of Hell, I was placed before a choice - I had a nuke (and the nuclear plasma gun) and there was an invulnerability globe near both normal stairs and those leading to UC. It took me quite a while, thinking whether to nuke UC or Hell 2 until I realized the obvious choice and nuked both. What was I thinking?

At some point I got Int 2 and since then it was really easy. Nothing could stand in my way.

I found two combat pistols in hell (levels 5 and 6). Kinda late, but one of them eventually became my instrument in killing the mastermind, properly modded ofc. Turns out the large clip is quite useful there, even though I had plenty of ammo in ammo boxes.


Oh, and besides this platinum badge, I finally got Armorer platinum and even discovered my first master assembly (nanomanufacture ammo).

I guess next is AoRA to get my last missing bronze badge. Since I've tried and failed hard to go for the quatermaster diamond, I think I'll play it on HNTR and go for conqeror to make it more interesting.

Gratz man.

My own AoCn took me a horrible amount of dead Doomguys, only thanks to the much needed 100% :) (and arachno caves).

Oh, the arachno caves... don't even remind me. And for some reason, I tended to die from demon bites more often than usual.

Anyway, I was kinda hoping that going of AoCn will naturally let me grind Hell's Armoury and it did - finally armorer platinum =) As long as I died after it, I wasn't mad.

My choice for AoCn was MAc. Reloader makes Shotgun usable, and later it is a great secondary weapon.

I wonder that you took EE*3 so early. Was it better than taking SoG (mixed with one or two EE) first?

[Klear]

I wasn't using pistols at all until sharpshooter - EE3 was for chaingun and plasma rifle.

After several unsuccessful tries with this build, I tried MAc as well, but after more YASDs, I decided to switch it up again. When playing the same challenge for a few days, it's good to change the build from time to time to avoid at least some of the repetitiveness. And I'm glad I eventually beat it with sharpshooter since it's arguably harder and besides, I wanted to do a sharpshooter run for some time now.
