Originally, this was just a "lulz let's try a challenge" kinda game, but when I started having some serious success with the Storm Bolter pistol (was trying to assemble a combat storm bolter, but never got the last technical pack :() I kept going, thinking this might actually be doable.
The game took a little bit over 4 days to complete. I didn't have time to play for extended periods of time, and I wanted to play only when rested and fully alert, so there was a bit of excessive amount of saving during Deimos. I pulled through all of Hell in one sitting. I had a BRUTAL amount of luck in the Mortuary. I was debating whether I should do it at all, but decided that I could at least test it. Four of the Viles spawned right outside the entry area, and I had intuition so I could see them. All dead, only one risen Hell Knight. The last I had to fight through a bunch of mobs to get to, but once he was dead, it was a matter of killing all the mobs and I got my Angelic Armor. Sweet!
Oh, also the visit to "The Wall" was cut short by me running out of energy cells for the energy pistol. There were only two blocks left to shoot, and I would've gotten in. But oh well, some other day.
When I got to the Lava Pits, I realized I was carrying two envirosuits, and also had environmental boots, so I cleared that and got the lava element. Suddenly I found myself with a kickass pistol, good build, angelic armor, a nuke and a lava element.
Hmm.
Boom goes the Mastermind, and I descended. The last fight was probably way too easy, because JC spawned a bunch of Lost Souls on his first spawn, then was "Almost Dead" when he spawned a group of Revenants, then instantly teleported out of the group, and got his face full of bullets, ending the fight. I was REALLY thinking I would run out of 10mm ammo, because the last 5 or so levels had literally no formers whatsoever.
All in all, great run, and I did not expect to make it all the way down, but I'm glad I did. Next time I will not be visiting the Mortuary unless I'm carrying TONS of skulls. It was a very hairy proposition and made possible only by the lucky spawn of the viles.
