Title: [M|AoMr|YAVP|85%] First win dual wielding guns
Post by: modular on December 27, 2007, 21:01

This is my first win. In this guns-only game i skipped most of the special levels, since the rewards (the weapons) cant be used anyway. I think this is the reason why I didnt die and made it to the end.

The end boss was kinda easy.

I had alot of large healing packs saved, so i could heal after each rocket he shot at me.

The only 'real' problem i ran into was not having enough ammo for my guns when monsters started dropping only rockets and cells lol. I had to use phase devices and healing packs while the monsters where shooting at eachother and while trying to find the down staircase. Eventually an archvilain summoned some former humans etc so i had plenty of ammo again.

1. Congrats!

2. You made a mistake if you passed up the Armory; there's several very useful mods available there.

3. Speaking of which, why didn't you go for more Whizkid?  Not only is the bullet time you get out of Fin + SoG + 1 speed mod awesome for keeping a character alive, but it's also a bit more efficient IMO to rely on boosting the effectiveness of your starter pistol than to try and wield two.  TaN is nice but I'd take a firing time of 1 turn any day over that.  O' course if you'd been playing a harder difficulty, I'd understand, but since you're not.. :P

4. Said firing time of 1 turn (plus damage and other mods of course) has in the past been effective enough to allow me to finish Spider's Lair without moving.  I wouldn't recommend trying to repeat that feat, though.. the second time I did it hurt quite a lot.

Yeah, ammo problems happen on AoMr -- you need to prepare some 10mm before descending deeper.

Nice game, and welcome :)

I've never had very many serious ammo problems on AoMr as long as I make sure to stock up on 9 packs of 100 in the CC and refresh as much as possible; with the right traits, good enough mods, and good play, Medium AoMr is a breeze even if you don't have an inventory half full of kits.
