Pre-0.9.9 / Re: [M|YAVP|92%] First win!
« on: November 04, 2008, 10:29 »
Yeah, I like the Beretta. But I never get it when I'm using pistols! The Trigun has only popped up once on a non-pistol game and showed up two or three times on a pistol game, at least.

On the subject of uniques that fit the challenge in question: Nuclear Plasma Rifle in Hell's Armory in Angel of Light Travel. First AoLT game, first Nuclear Plasma Rifle. I should've known that one was going a little too well.

I knew I was off to a good start with green armor, six medpacks, and a combat shotgun when I went into the Arena. As things progressed, I got three different unique weapons (including my second railgun, I love that thing), and it went fairly smoothly...

Until about level 22 when I ran out of chaingun ammo. Luckily I held onto my Assault Shotgun, and used it to gather power cells.

But as you may have noticed from my inventory, health at the end was not an issue. Armor, ammo, yeah. Health, nope. My chaingun killed most enemies before they could fire, and TaN and (at the end) Hellrunner kept me in very good health. Most injuries were dealt with with Globes, Supercharges (I got quite a few this time around), and Small Med-Packs.

Didn't have any phase devices to get into the center Vault room, which is a shame, since a Unique spawned on the Vaults this time. I could've had four uniques! But I managed to loot the other two with the Railgun.

This is also the first time I got the Assault Shotgun in a few weeks, which seemed weird since it was my first Unique and one that kept popping up in early games of mine.

Found three artifacts! A shame one was useless for my build and the other just wasn't all that good, but I got three!

I learned a few very important things in this run.

1. You can never have enough red armors.
2. You can never count on finding enough red armors.
3. Always know the exact blast radius of a barrel before blasting it.
4. Barrels make good weapons when you use them right.
5. Always remember to switch away from the Plasma Rifle when it is no longer needed.

That last one is completely unrelated to the first four.

I was originally going for a chaingun/plasma rifle build, but I delayed Eagle Eye because the combat shotgun was working just fine for me for a while. Then I found the Grammaton Cleric Beretta, and my old plan went right out the window - though due to a lack of any good pistols other than that one, I decided to delay Dualgunner for something that'd help what I already had.

The Beretta killed revenants pretty quickly, but I switched to the plasma rifle mostly for Arachnotrons and Mancubi, and kept the Combat Shotgun for Lost Soul mobs since it's so good for wiping them out.

My Halls of Carnage attempt was terminated quickly by a lack of health, but at least I got a supercharge out of it. Later I found a nuke for the Cyberdemon anyway... shame I never had a chance to use the damn thing.

This was the best I've ever done... hopefully one of my next ones will end successfully. Tips? And I still don't know how to get into the Vaults short of using phase devices...

EDIT: Oh, forgot about my usual name theme. Lloyd Black is my chaingun name, Brian Miller for melee, Jacob Orine for pistols, and Kyle Lundin for shotguns.
