Do I still need my cerberus armor?

<< < (2/2)

Zarin:
I've just finished (on HNTR), and actually never used a single med-pack since I started this thread. Never unloaded a single ammo chain (out of 8) either! I carried around triple bulk-modified Minigun, and unloaded (and reloaded later) it when I got too low on ammo. Never took off my Inquisitor Set anyway, so discarded lava boots and lava armor in the end. Assembled another cerberus armor based on duelist (50% melee, bullet and shrapnel resist on top of the elementals) just to make sure it retains those physical resistances, but never used it anyway. I didn't engage in melee much (what with the huge knockback from two combat pistols supported by SoAG(5) and SoB(5) :)), and former soldiers die to one volley, elite or not. I'll try to repeat the experience on HMP now...

By the way, assault nuclear plasma rifle was also quite instrumental in my victory, letting me mow down those lost souls left after Agony Elementals without ammo loss. Oh, and destroy crates which might contain some stuff.

Crates likely to yield bounty can be destroyed with anything.

Sambojin:
But the nuclear plasma does do it for free (more or less).

Actually, what's the minimum damage to destroy walls with plasma? I know boxes are a fair bit easier than walls, but with SoB(5) you might be getting close to wall destruction as well for the n.plasma rifle. Saving you both rockets and bullets. I might do a MAc run today and play around with it (or just a WK(2) run and mod up a nice n.plasma). Knockback might make it pointless, but it'll still be fun.

Edit: Never mind. It's 10 HP per wall tile, with 10 armour (halved to 5 due to it being shot with plasma). 15 HP for one plasma bullet isn't undoable. 1d7+5+d3 will do it, so a plasma rifle with 3 power mods and SoB(5) it is then. Why? Don't know. It might be fun. Then I'll just hope for a nano-mod. Incidently, crates are 5HP with 5 armour. I really should look up the wiki more before posting.

True. On the other hand, if ammo's an issue, you can usually find another weapon lying around. Makes me wonder if it's possible to just punch them apart with no melee traits.
