Most of the time when I get diamonds I have to either do something sneaky (Bring Azrael's Scythe to the vaults on UV AoOC to get Scavenger Diamond) or attempt it a billion times, but this one wasn't too bad actually.
My first decent attempt at Speedrunner Diamond was a shottyhead run that died on the cyberdemon because the weapons you can scrounge up in less than 20 minutes tend to suck. I figured I'd need to use shotguns as an early game crutch for a melee victory instead, which worked on the first try. I found a lot of phase devices but only the homing ones ever dumped me anywhere useful, so I still had to fight my way through a lot of Nightmare!.
As an aside, I thought the only way to get through Phobos Anomaly on Nightmare! was with a lucky phase device, but if you stair-sense your way from Chained Court to Phobos Anomaly as a scout, you get there while still berserk rather consistantly, which makes it super easy. I'm still not entirely sure how you'd get through as a Marine or Technician without a fair bit of luck.
