I struggled against this challenge for so long, after banging my head against it for so long I finally managed to squeak past it this time!
I had settled on Entrenchment for my build for this since it's what got me the furthest in before now, always picking the Gatling and opening with all three levels of Whizkid to get Loading Feed and Efficient, then the prerequisites for MEN, after that working on Toxicologist.
Some notes:
1) I like this Mastery generally. :)
1a) Someone mentioned using multi-shell-per-shot Shotguns like the Plasma, Dual or Frag with this Master due to the ammo cost reduction. While it did work even at level one, the gun wouldn't fire with 1 Shell left. Maybe I could get 3 shots out of one with Second Chamber depending on how it works but it didn't work alone.
2) This challenge is a real pain in general...
3) Since I got an EMP Mod, I decided to skip Infernal Lock and go to Black Site instead, even without spare keycards. Worked out fine except I went to the wrong vault. Whoops.
4) I had some real close calls with getting my Armor destroyed and running out of healing in Beyond L1. I managed to get new armor and find just enough healing to survive but still never had a surplus of medkits again. :(
5) Toxicologist was really helpful in places, even without Wizard!
