My best result so far. While I have bought the game for myself and a friend, and played it since Kickstarter, I'm still horrible at it.
And since Doom II times I don't consider anything below Ultraviolence a worthy challenge, so I almost always play on Hard... and die somewhere at the end of Europa.
This time, I decided to dump all the 9mm auto rifles, not try to stock ammo for later, and go with a chaingun for the everyday use and rocket launcher for weapon #3.
Worked surprisingly well!
I cannot stand having less than 2 stacks of ammo, so sometimes I had to pick up an enemy's chaingun instead of my own, to utilize their ammo on other, lesser enemies. With this tactic, I always had at least 140 of 7.62s.
This took me all the way to the CRI Armory. Flynn was a Field Medic and Ironman with a health pumped up to 150 with a help of a few med stations.
I even left a couple of medkits behind.
Before CRI Armory, I had 2 stimpacks, 3 small med-kits, a full 150 health and 5 multi-tools for a P-modded red armor.
But the damned Armory ate through all of them! Plus, I didn't have too many keycards, and cleared it only for the love of the art. I got an extra A-pack and a multitool from a tech station, and that's all.
I entered Io 5 with 23 health, and was chewed by a trio of exalted reavers.
In DRL, you can outplay your enemies and exterminate them without getting a scratch. I haven't figured out a tactics for this yet in JH, unless you fill the air with rockets, or spend a ton of other ammo shooting into a darkness. Well, you can almost always take the turrets out safely.
Unless I'm mistaken, in JH you have to trade some of your health for theirs, each time or each other time with Hellrunner, even if you always try to shoot from a cover.
