After several failed attempts with a MCe build, I finally managed to complete a Ao100 fun on Hurt me Plenty using the same strategy as the one titled "It's still to heavy." (Thanks S.K. Ren for the mortem!)

Finding a nano pack was insanely difficult for me this run, and it nearly got destroyed at the level I found it (57) from barons of hell blasts. Luckily, I was able to make an antigrav boots assembly with a gothic boots base, which is *really* effective after putting a power mod afterwards. I found the BFG 10K late in the run, but did not use it at all nor did I use the BFG 9000 I found around the middle of the run. I also attempted to nuke level 100 to see if there's anything special in doing so, but it doesn't feel like it. My next goal is to do some UV runs, but I'm currently getting my ass kicked and fried in the (Un)Chained Court. What strategies/builds do you use to ensure success? I'm also trying to get the last three master assemblies to get the technician diamond badge, the only badge I feel remotely able to get.

Anyway, tips and congrats are welcome for a first time poster.

Well, congratulations are in order. Melee is supposedly the most overpowered form of combat, although I'd say MMB Ao100 on HMP is no mean feat. Wonder what made your MCe builds fail, though. I dare say you would have a severe advantage if you start out with taking INT twice. This might also help you find your way around the CC(+). Be advised though that my sparse UV runs have at no point included CC in any form, so you're probably better off taking advice from someone else.

Regarding the MCe failures, one build had me running out of ammo too frequently (i used a gatling gun and hyper blaster), while another died from a nightmare arachnotron (I think) ambush.

I just attempted Ultra Violence again and died yet again on CC+. I tried to gib a hell baron corpse near the lower left entrance with the rocket launcher, but I kept missing the enemies that were closest to it. Eventually, the Arena master came, and resurrected the corpse, an unlucky hit caused the walls to be destroyed, surrounding me with many hell barons and instantly killing me before I could retreat and get the berserk packs. Talk about unlucky and a huge failure. I cannot for the life of me get past CC+ on Ultra violence, no matter what strategy I use, and I have read several.
