I ain't much of a pro at this game yet, but great googly moogly did I just have a good run. I wasn't finding much of anything early on, but I really wanted to make a chainsword for no real reason. After not being able to find a power mod, I decided to just make my Chainsaw piercing, which helped a lot early Deimos. Early game was rough in general, lots of running away and warping around. I basically skipped half of the anomaly, because I just wasn't strong enough at that point. However, I rocked the Cathedral pretty hard and got the Lance, and from there was pretty smooth sailing. Going though the Mortuary was ridiculously fun, because I just berserked through all of it like some sort of human blender. After getting the Angel Armor, it was even more smooth sailing and I kinda started messing around too much... it's always what kills me. So many mancubus... anyways, I cleared out the lava pits and was about to use the lava element to go up on the spider, but I was trying to save it for the last possible second, since there's a short timer on it (I believe? This was the first time I got this deep on HNTR, or even cleared the lava pits), and the spider mastermind only needed to hit me twice to down me.... if I had some more medkits at the tail end I woulda been fine, but damn mancubuses kept blowin' em up.

And yes, I'm a packrat with mods. Every time I get one I think "WHAT CAN I ASSEMBLE WITH THESE" instead of just buffing weapons when I need the buffs. I carried a combat knife through hell just to make a chainsword, for god's sake. It's just a LITTLE silly. I was also sad I got the SNIPER pack during angel of berserk. The RNG gods are definitely toying with me.

As for the build, I'm surprised how well melee works once you get berserker. I probably should have taken dodgemaster, but I wanted to build more cool stuff, so I went for finesse. Which was still pretty handy. Maybe next AoB I'll try out Marine. Or maybe tech... tinkering is way too fun.

Ah, that's a shame. You should have popped that lava element and punched him to death.

Lin Kuei style.

I see you have a pretty worn fireproof armour in your inventory - it's not the best choice for a melee build, since it gives 30% melee damage penalty (edit for clarity - you take more melee damage). Unless you've been giftdropping it to barons to make them take more damage, in which case - kudos.

Edit: You were probably pretty slowed by the heavy gothic boots. It's much better to go against the mastermind barefoot, or better (tactical, antigrav boots). If you manage to get zerked and into melee range, you should be able to end her miserable existence on short notice.

Or at least use agility mod on gothic boots as you have two of them.
But wearing boots that slow you down in a melee-only game is not good.It's even worse idea on MBM, where everything depends on your movement speed as you can kill in no time with LS, so you only need to run from one target to another.
