-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 40 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 34 of those were killed.
 And 3 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 3 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
 3 killed the bitch and survived.

--------------------------------------------------------------

First, a question: does anyone have thoughts on how to kill the shamblers in Deimos Lab/Hell's Armory on U|AoCn? I started exploring builds to do this on U|AoCn, but I had to downgrade to H|AoCn because I wasn't making any progress at all.

Second, I really like AoCn! I like the freedom it gives me to try new things. I decided to take an earlier H|AoCn who looted combat pistol-> Anti-Freak Jackal into Limbo and had a good time getting to within sight of the stairs. I like figuring out how to deal with the RNG's whims most of all rather than grinding out the perfect game. I'm also so very slow at this game that I feel bad about dying on a run starting from Phobos Base Entry, so the compressed length of AoCn helps. I fully intend to run AoOC and make more runs at Limbo, but I need more badges to unlock it. I'm doing AoMr right now. I'm pondering whether AoD is going to be enjoyable or not.

Third, does the Mastermind not get clued in when she starts taking damage that she might want to advance? I was really surprised I got the Mastermind's Brain. I just started BFGing when my Int kicked in and didn't stop until she was dead. She never got within my vision at all. Glad to finally pick up the badge, though?

I didn't get 100% because I walked into the The Vaults. I regret nothing!

I like this line of reasoning. I always hated the idea of the AoCn and AoOC challenges because I'm neurotic about maximizing my character development, to the point of having a VERY hard time skipping special areas or not getting a %100 kill count, but you do tend to feel a bit grindy after a few games that way, so I might give them another try. Congrats!

Also, shamblers is beasts. I don't have a ton of advice, except that one-on-one they're easy to dodge, but with more than one, I'm not sure how well that'll work. I'm trying to get to Ultra-violent skill, so I guess I'll find out!
