Oh why must I get overconfident! previous bests at UV/AoMr: level 13, level 4, a ton of 2s/3s.
Assemblies: for the non-MGK pistolier, speedloader is essential. high-power in the offhand is decent, you get 3 powerful blasts and then rapid-fire to finish stuff off. I found a firestorm pack, so I wanted to try out the storm bolter. It's pretty crazy, but I'm not sure it was worth the traits, especially as a 2nd Eagle Eye should be used - and probably not dualgunner. Though Finesse isn't wasted. actually, Juggler instead of DG would suit it very well, even in AoMr.
Arena: I think I was blessed with a berserk pack near the entrance.
Chained Court: rush the master, try to get barons/captains to hit him a bit also. use the staff to clear the rabble. one medpack is needed during, and probably one afterwards.
Armory: Pistols are certainly better than shotguns here for everything, and higher difficulty might be easier than lower for the boss - the extra experience gives you more armor piercing. I reached level 8 for my final SoB in the level.
Hellgate: I opened with a shockwave pack, then I was at 50% health. phase device took me face to face with a bruiser! gave him a magazine, then careful stepping around his 'cage' worked ok. I think I took around a medpack worth of pummeling first, and another one going back for the first wave. In retrospect, I should have tried the pack standing near the viles' chambers instead of after opening the whole ambush.
I decided against City of Skulls, since I wasn't sure on ammo supplies, and the opening wave takes a lot of medpacks/staves without shotguns/berserker.
The Vaults: This might have been ok if I didn't screw it up. used a homing phase/invuln globe to enter safely, and took out 3 viles quickly. caught up to the 4th soon. The center vault was kind of awful. I didn't seem to be seeing the viles, so I tried moving around the bottom... yeah. pinned there by revs a bunch, took 5 of my 6 medpacks. the bottom does give some access to push them into lava though. almost ctrl-c'ed when I leveled up, thought I had gotten killed. once I could move around to the right it was better, but it did take my last medpack. Grammaton was a nice reward, but I had already committed to trying the storm bolter.
The next couple of levels were a bit nerve-wracking, but I was able to grab some medpacks and powerups to stay healthy.
A pain elemental cave took a lot of bullets, but wasn't that tough. probably fortunate self/enemy locations, I could kill a bunch in the opening seconds and the rest were on one side. The UAC star(silver) is from here.
My destiny level started out seeing a party. A bunch of hot kegs, and La-BAMBA was playing. using the lava barrels revealed a vile, so I got out of sight of the mancubus and pummeled the vile with the storm bolter, taking fire from everything. use a medpack, clean up the group, but mancubus has wandered off. I go around the building on the other side, find another vile, blast it, getting hit. don't use a medpack, find the mancubus, get one-shotted. I even had a small one, no excuse to not use...
At least I'm an arch-vile now - and this challenge looks possible!
