"Pew-pew! Pew-pew! Pew-pew!", said the Doomguy's storm bolter blaster. "Blargh! Shlarp! Arrr-Arrr-Blargh!", said the dying hellspawn.
All in all, this was a fairly easy run, surprisingly enough. I got very lucky with a blaster and an onyx pack in Hell's Armory - after I found it, my previously groomed-for-stormbolter pistol became a backup weapon, and I got rid of an ammochain in favor of good plain bullets.
Just in time, too, because the Wall was awaiting me right after! To quote the famous television series protagonist, "I'd say that was one hell of a bird" (see attachments).
The City of Skulls... actually wasn't all that bad! Plasma shots quickly dealt with the early skulls, weakened by AMS, and then it was just a matter of patience to clear the rest of the level. The Agony Elemental, luckily, seemed to prefer advancing to spawning meatshields, or else I would've probably be eventually forced to run away.
The rest of the run was fairly uneventful. I found a thermonuclear bomb relatively early and carried it till the end, and a nuclear plasma rifle in Hell. That was quite a lucky break, because I wanted a full win, but skipped Mortuary.

With a good deal of luck (finding a nuclear bomb & grabbing an IB before Unholy Cathedral) it's possible to earn the Conqueror badge with these challenges as well. Maybe I'll try this someday. :3

It's my second try at this challenge - the first one abruptly ended in the Mortuary after I cleaned one half, got blasted by some cacodemons from the other and was roughed up as I desperantly ran back to catch a healing orb and stumbled upon a few who-knows-how-they-got-here demons. That's the reason I skipped it in this run, despite being really compelled to try.
I got the Firestorm pack in Hell's Armory, which, just as in this playthrough, enabled me to get through the Wall. I used up almost 3 full ammochains in doing so, phew! Kids, remember - if you're going to try and blast through the Wall as a marksman, be sure to stock up on ammo.
Abyssal Plains were a nightmare, but somehow I made it through.
As a bonus, I'll throw in the mortem from that run as well!

Hey, this looks like it was an epic run!  :D  Sharpshooter with AoLT is a surprisingly potent combination, eh?  :)  I don't get your "bird" reference, but I do recall that I once played a game with Sharpshooter and having a Blaster that I used to tunnel through The Wall, and then stood to one side of the hole and just held my finger on the F key until everything was  dead  (I guess I was paying them lots of respect)  :P  I was doing enough damage for consistent knockback, so i was completely safe there and nothing could touch me.  :)

Having a Storm Blaster looks like it must have been a lot of fun, though, so I can be a bit envious of that.  :)  (I just think "Storm Blaster" is a cool name)  :)

Also, doing Conqueror in AoMr is totally doable.  (If a bit ridiculous)  I know because I did it once.  I'm on my phone right now but I'll link it later.  :)

Thanks! ^^
Sharpshooter is a very potent trait in general and one of my personal favourites. Of course, like everything else with Technician, it is slow to start - since they don't get Dualgunner, it's easier to beat early levels with other weapons - shotguns, primarily - switching back to pistols when the traits are good enough. Of course, Marksmen don't get such a privilege, hence early game (and Arena, specifically) becomes much more difficult.

Finding a Blaster and making it a Storm Blaster was really a blessing, indeed! I got through the Wall in about the same way, except it was more like combination of looong waiting and shooting whatever came through the hole. That, and some wild shots in-between. I was really getting bored.

By the way, I can't resist asking - how did you get through that by simply holding the "F" key? Blaster has a finite ammo supply, after all, and you've had to do some waiting in between... right?

P.S. The "bird" reference is from Doctor Who series (specifically, the 11th episode of the 9th season, aired in 2015). :3
