In this topic, we list ideas which are fundamentally bad.
1. To defeat the Shambler, attack it with a chainsaw until it dies.
... and I actually did it too, but of course I only found the cybernetic armour. RNG, you suck.
Shoot with rocket launcher to nearest wall!
But with use of altfire it's quite OK.
If you're fighting a Mancubus, hang out close to a corner so you can pop into cover if you need a breather.
If the main shot doesn't hit then the side shot will inevitably bounce you a) into lava or b) close to a barrel which the other side shot will explode. If you survive, or by some miracle none of the above happens, then knockback will slam you right into a Revenant or something similarly nasty.
Once you got your hands on a Cool Gun and a Nice Armor, it is okay to relax and start MASHIGN BUTTANZ!!
I mean, what's the worst that can possibly happen, really?
See that megasphere next to that lava barrel?
Go ahead. Pick it up. It's not like there's a mancubus or anything just waiting to come to the edge of your vision just when you hit the right square.
edit: fix'd
When picking up an agility modpack with a full backpack, drop your fully modded missile launcher instead of something trivial like a small medpack.
Trust that the RNG is merciful enough to not spawn a revenant around the corner.

If you are aiming for 100% kills, using rockets unreservedly will help you achieve this.
You see : bloodstone
Boom! Warning! Explosion in 20 seconds!

Ilya Bely Armor : Necroarmor [6/6] (100%)
Health: 158% Exp: 8/93% Weapon: modified rocket launcher (6d6) [1/1] (N1)
cautious Phobos Hell Lev6
FFFFFFinely crafed lever vaults. The wrecked level was just me throwing a hissy pit at the end; I'd only swapped out my Trigun once before to deal with a pack of arch-viles. And yeah, two EACH of megaspheres / supercharges ... but no invulnerability for nuking.
