So I beat the Summoner on level 50 and... unexpectedly won the game. This was a surprise to me, since the description says there are a hundred levels. (Kornel tells me this was an error) I fully expected the game to continue until another boss on level 100. It makes me feel a bit silly that my previous game that got this far died on level 50; I didn't know I was so close to the end. Oh well...
Anyway, this was with last week's Gauntlet where pistols do double damage. I would have preferred doing it with a Gun Kata build to make the most of that, but my attempt at GK didn't fare so well. Survivor did much better, which is a bit embarrassing, since it makes me seem like a one-trick pony, since my last attempt that got this far was also with Survivor. :P
The medusa's fang relic I found on level 18, which makes any hit against biological targets an instant kill at the cost of reducing your max health, turned the run into easy mode, relatively speaking, especially since it turns out there's a cap on how much it can reduce your health. After it brought my max health down by about 50, (I think?) it no longer had a drawback, and I was able to insta-kill everything except bots for the rest of the game, and stockpiling multitools to increase my health at health stations mitigated the damage it had done in the meantime. :)
I found a railgun on level 25, which does piercing damage, so it was my backup weapon for dealing with any bots, but once I got a nano mod for it on level 37, it became my primary weapon, freely wrecking anything that came my way for the rest of the game. :)
