"Quartermaster Platinum" : Clear Angel of Red Alert on Nightmare!


In AoRA, speed of character is nearly everything important.
You should set status as "running" in most times of confronting enemies.
So, Gunrunner + Shottyman is most plausible approach.

Gunrunner + Shottyman trait applies not only with shotgun, it DOES apply to rocket/missile launchers.
Of course, be careful of using shotgun/rockets - so that you won't harm from splash damage from exploding barrels/direct rocket volley.


The main consideration in later parts is how to supply shotgun shells,
since time is limited so you cannot stack shotgun shells as much as you want by waiting revive of sergeant corpses.

So,
1. Do not waste your shells by cornering enemies from afar.
If you have to kill enemies by cornering, drag enemies sufficiently near and then start cornering.

2. Make use of plasma rifle and save shotgun shells/rockets for harsh fight.
Note that Gunrunner + Shottyman BLOCKS Whizkid/Son of a bitch.



Fighting SMM, my shotgun shell, plasma cells, rockets, red armor.. everything is burned out..
It was a really close fight. Phew.


Anyway, I got all Platinum badges by completing this run.
I'll start diamond hunting from now on!

Wow. All bronzes, silvers, gold and platinums? Within what, one month? What's next, all diamonds within next week? :)

Congratulations - most impressive feat.

Thanks. Almost every Diamond badges are extremely tougher than Platinum ones....
So I expect I could not gather them fast like I did on Platinum ones...

First I'll try Gatekeeper Diamond. This looks easiest.. *sigh*

GK Diamond is indeed one of the easiest ones, however it's still pretty luck-based. Unless you find an invuln globe close to the stairs on Phobos 7 (and skip Phobos Lab/Military Base), your best bet might be playing AoMC and having a lucky phase to the middle room. This gives you good control over the ambush in the left part, and a rocket launcher will not allow bruiser brothers to even make a shot.

I know right?  But with extraordinary claims comes the need for extraordinary proof.

With each new mortem of fantastic exploits, I can no longer shake the belief that something odd is afoot.
