Like many of the hardest challenges in 0.9.9.8, fist-only is rough before vampyre then a lot less difficult after. I also got an onyx pack from Hell's Armory. Red armor OP really lives up to its name. My fist-only offense was surprisingly good, but the armor really secured the run. Anyway, I could only really fight one enemy at a time early on, so I just hoped I'd get good cover then camped it. When I had a combat shotgun I eventually decided I didn't want it since it can kill enemies outside my sight range while the shotgun mostly can't. I also assembled a micro launcher which ended up feeling silly since my rocket jumping was way worse.
In Phobos Base Entry I'd shoot a sergeant once, hope it doesn't do enough to make him heal, then wait until I get a double turn and try to punch him to death.
Early Phobos was tough. I had to hope I could find good cover and make a choke point using barrels. Trying to set up a kill and having one imp walk up on me was demoralizing, since I really wanted to just shoot it. Anyway, my strategy relied on excessive camping, which would make it a lot worse in 0.9.9.9. Maybe a scout build that goes into blademaster is the way to go in that version.
Formers can be hit by 1 pistol shot or 1 shotgun shell 9+ tiles away.
Imps can be hit by 1-2 pistol shots (2 if the first one makes them "lightly wounded") or 1 shotgun shell 8+ tiles away.
Demons can be killed by a shotgun shell at "wounded", but early on I felt like I had to take that risk.
Lost souls could be annoying if I had to move out of their attack then I can't hit back. They also can die to 1 shotgun shell if I can see them.
I had a combat knife just for slightly higher DPS against bosses, but I didn't end up needing it.
A funny thing that happened is the chainsaw in Chained Court got destroyed before I could pick it up, and then I found another one right before the final bosses.
