Managed to make a storm bolter, which lasted until Hell started and then I was scrambling to make an energy pistol because I had no 10mm (I was down to 12 rounds total, 9 in the storm bolter and 3 in a chain) at one point. Got super ass mad when a mancubus destroyed a 10mm chain, but thankfully on that same floor I got the 2 power mods I needed to make the energy pistol.

Thought it'd be easy from there on out, but I burned through 3 suits of P-modded red armor with the fight against Cybie. Couldn't get to any cover, so I was forced to face-tank him like an idiot.  Last suit I had (A-modded red) didn't last very long against all the archs/mancubi/revenants. A nasty arachno-cave on level 20 left me without armor. Level 23 mocked me with 5 or 6 armor shards and a megasphere, but by that point I had Ironman 3 so I was making great use of the soulspheres and large medkits I had. Still have no idea how I managed to clear the last 4 levels of UV with no armor and no TaN.
Had the nuke for the last level in case, but I couldn't remember if it'd screw up the win or not. Was pretty sure it would, so I walked into Dis with ~195% life and 9 large med-kits and zero armor. Said I was going to kill Spidey one way or another. Pity I didn't get some armor+invul. Would've loved to take on JC.

First game back in a while though and man my hearts still racing. Super proud of this game. Thought I'd never get another platinum medal. The quest is definitely on to get that Br. General rank. Funny, a couple versions ago if you had told me I was gonna get even a single gold medal I would've been happy. Here I am getting platinums.

Good job. Marksman, Strongman, Everyman are the hardest gold badges I think.
In my opinion, easiest platinums are Veteran, Elite, Daredevil, Destroyer.

In UV AoMr game, late 10mm ammo supply is always a problem.
If you play Sharpshooter then you can assemble energy pistol, but in Gun Kata build,
you must spare 10mm ammo chains (for ammo stocks) as much as you can for later.

Now then how about trying Marksman Diamond? It is.. yes, hard, but definitely doable. At least you won't suffer from ammo supply.

[Tormuse]

Woo!  :D  Nice one!  Congrats!  And welcome back to the forums; this is quite the return!  :)  Papilio's right.  With this success under your belt, getting Marksman Diamond should be perfectly doable.  :)

I'd say it's just as well that you couldn't go up against JC; the biggest drawback of AoMr is that you can only kill one enemy at a time, and if he surrounds himself with summons, you might not be able to get a clear shot, so it might have jeapordized your platinum badge to face him.  Also, it's worth noting that you would have been fine nuking the Mastermind for a partial win; you still get all the badges.

That must've been a pretty brutal battle with the Cyberdemon, with no Dodgemaster!  I sure hope you weren't wearing the Enviroboots at the time; taking a 30% movespeed penalty would've made it even more brutal.  :P

[Cheesybox]

Granted it was a while ago, but I've never liked N! because of the respawning. I don't mean "oh noes more monsters to fight n harder n stuff" but the way I play, I could easily get flanked by corpses. Idk, I might give it another shot once UV becomes my standard difficulty.

I didn't think I'd be able to kill JC specifically for that reason. I was killing barons in I think 5 shots (that's why I love sharpshooter, consistency :D) which would've taken around ~1.4 in-game seconds not including the constant reloads, so yeah I probably would've been super dead super fast. Especially without any kind of armor.

And to answer your question, yeah I ditched the steel boots I was wearing for the enviros once I found them, so I was wearing those vs Cybie (I wasn't joking when I said I face tanked him haha)

[Zuyl]

Good job, took my a lot of tries to get Marksman Platinum. Using technician is my go to when playing AoMr. I noticed you didn't enter any special levels besides Military Base. It could have helped you gather a nice amount of modpacks, then you wouldn't be so fragile when facing Cybie.

[Tormuse]

Yeah, at the very least, I'd recommend going into Chained Court.  All those berserk packs are beneficial to any game, no matter your playing style.

[Cheesybox]

Well pre-storm bolter I was using 2 T-modded pistols. I was having a really hard time dealing with some of the bigger/more armored enemies and so generally avoided those special levels (couldn't get through the Wall, armory didn't show up, was not about to do the arena with no shotgun on UV, Mt. Erebus would've probably killed me, Cathedral for obvious reasons), especially cause for the 100% kill rate I would have had to full clear them
