Title: [U|99%|YAVP] War... war never changes AKA nuke ALL the levels
Post by: Klear on June 16, 2012, 07:01
This game was crazy. I was playing my standard masterless pistol build on UV, hoping to maybe phase into the vaults and get another diamond badge this way.

The Armoury blessed me with the Trigun, which was great, since I messed up while assembling a bolter. Later I made an energy pistol and from then on I had no problems.

Then level 13 came and gave me an invulnerability globe right next to stairs. I cleared the level the old fashioned way, but then I grabbed the invulnerability, nuked it using Trigun for good measure, descended the stairs and nuked the next level. Turns out there were stairs real close to where I started so I nuked the next level and then used my homing phase to nuke another one... before I knew it I was nuking Cybie and the first level of hell.

I was leveling like crazy from the nukes so I took Iro to offset the permanent HP loss from Angel Arm. RNG kept giving me stairs very close to where I was so I got all the way to mortuary (which I nuked), but lost my invulnerability at last. I though "it was fun when it lasted" and descended the stairs. I spawned right next to both stairs and another invulnerability globe, so I grabbed it and nuked on.

It turns out I nuked every level since lvl 13 plus UC, Mortuary and the Vaults. That's exactly half of the standard levels! Too bad the second invulnerability ran out just as I was descending to Dis, or I would have nuked JC as well. At first I though "At last I can play normally again". But then I decided not to break the pattern and nuked the mastermind for a partial win.

I ended the game with 35 hp, but I was a marine with Iro 5! That means I used 75 hp only on nuking...

So yeah, I got Fallout Platinum Cross - another first for me - though I think I deserve at least Fallout Diamond Cross for this run.

Dude... we need to change your forum handle from "Klear" to "Klear Nukem".

That's a ridiculous amount of nuking you've done.  O.o

That was a couple of Barons and an Arch-vile at the Wall... I got my ass kicked there pretty bad, since I only had standard shotgun - no shellbox, no double shotty, not even combat shotgun. I was glad that I managed to escape with my life.

Yeah, special levels are considered to be at the same depth as the level you entered them as. I never noticed that until recently. It's made me change my strategy to try to clear out more special levels because you get XP that you wouldn't have otherwise gotten the chance to get.

I'd suggest Klear Cross.
(Or maybe Fallout Klear Cross)

It's just a platinum medal, not a badge, though it brought me Heroic Gold Badge.
