So yeah. Having got bored of death after death trying to get any farther with ranks (2 platinum badges and a diamond badge are going to take a while) I decided to mop up some easier badges I never got - in this case, Lightfoot Silver. I've got a fair few unposted wins (including, for the 2nd time IN A ROW, getting a promotion - Colonel to Brigadier General - with an ITYTD run, getting technician platinum) - but eventually, I decided to start posting again, as I'd quite like to contribute to the mortem section since the forums seem to have gone awfully quiet.

Anyway, this was a bit of an odd build. I took marine as I already have a speed boost on AoLT, and as a shotgun fan, I felt MAD would be way better for my ammo than unloading shell after shell with Shottyhead.  As a side effect, I also ended up with Badass, which when combined with a suit of nano-modded red from the nano mod in Hell's Armory, made me pretty insanely tanky. I ended up with 5 possible non-blocked traits - Ironman, TaN, SoB, SoG (no) or Brute (No). I leveled my Iro/TaN to improve my non-medpack survivability and ended up a little overboard - with a super shotgun, I threw away my tac-shotty and proceeded to violently obliterate everything while even the Cyberdemon lacked the straight-up power to overpower my tank. (The one hit he landed on me, a straight rocket in the face, hit me from 200% to 190%.) I also had a backpack from Containment Area - I accepted the hit to my supplies for an overall increase in ammo capacity.

As I charged through Hell, my tank ensured that end-game enemies could do little within their first volleys, and my super shotgun ensured they didn't get another try. I barely used my med-packs, between not getting shot at, 25% fire resistance and eventually 6 straight damage reduction. (4 from armour + 2 from TaN) I got to power-mod my super shotgun in Hell 7, and slaughtered the Spider Mastermind with surprisingly few shots - didn't even take that much damage (had about 109%, I think, going into Dis). Didn't even fire the fully-loaded BFG I carried with me into there.

I actually carried the chainsaw for a while, but eventually ditched it as plentiful ammo became evident. I went pretty YOLO late on, grabbing a nuke just in case I got an invuln, though I didn't do the lava pits (because no envirosuit close enough to be worth taking). I also skipped Unholy Cathedral (no melee ability by that point), The Vaults (Kinda was after a YAAM by that point and had no staff/phases) and Limbo. (No.)

Yay, one more Silver for me!

Good job on taking a shotgun build on this challenge. Never had the guts to take it on with such an intense ammo consuming weapon.

[The DoomRLguy]

Honestly, just cowardice when faced with the idea of not using shotguns the whole time. Although melee AoLT, it seems, would be like AoB minus free starting gear and some inventory space, but plus being able to grab a shotgun and shoot everyone until you can get your melee traits up to scratch and grab a chainsaw. I'll probably try AoLT with melee at some point too, maybe even on HMP for the gold badge. It was convenient that MAD also led to being able to tank without medpacks, too (though I think that's more of a marine thing than a shotgun thing...)

[Zuyl]

Yeah, melee marine with vampyre master trait is usually the easiest way to play AoLT imo. Just using the shotgun until the chainsaw or Bru2 and Berserker. I think i also tried with ammochain, but not sure how that ended.
