Not too difficult given HMP and a few lucky levels where I was able to camp respawns for killcount(Hunter Gold wants 80%) and ammo drops. Opened with Intuition to be sure I could secure Mastermind safely, so I never quite managed to finish Shottyhead, but shotguns were my go-to for the entire game.
One more gold for the next skill rank, then maybe I'll look at more impressive challenges.
