[M|AoMr|94%|18|YASD] Pistols are hard.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Moonshine Fox:
I already have a fair few wins under my belt, even on harder difficulties, but Pistols seem to be hitting me hard so far. Funnily enough I *think* my first win ever was a pistol build. But I don't remember. Anyways, I'll keep working and more importantly learning.

Sereg:
A guaranteed pistol on some of the special levels would help, but I think another issue is that there's only one base pistol - everything else is exotic, unique, or an assembly. Shotguns have combat and double as non-exotic base items in addition to the regular shotgun, and even rapidfire has chain and plasma options, so yes, there is a bit of a disadvantage on the pistol side. It's also worth noting that there are somewhat significant drawbacks to the two basic assembly pistol options - it's rather telling that a pistol with a single T mod is more effective for Hell Arena(and much of the early game) then the Speedloader, for example.

I had a similar difficulty with pistol wins - I believe Marksman Platinum was my last(at least of the Platinums I've earned), and there was a reason it wasn't done sooner =P just keep at it, eventually you'll make it(at least, that's what I keep telling myself about this *damn* Gatekeeper Diamond challenge).

Moonshine Fox:
I was surprised to find I had Gold Gatekeeper. I must've had an invul on me when I got down there, because I can't even imagine how to do the Lost Soul spam room without damage.

Sereg:
I've been using a Fireangel build, but generally I only manage it when I get phase devices that land me in the portal room. It's a giant pain in the ass.

Easily - there is no such room. Gatekeeper Gold requires you to kill Cybie damageless on HNTR+.Perhaps you have mistaken that for Gatekeeper Silver (damageless Anomaly on any difficulty, and there is no ambush on ITYTD)?
