For this game, I really wanted a scavenger to maximize the equipment that I would be using. I was going to pair it with Int 2, since Int 1 was already required by it.
I found the laser rifle EARLY on, I believe somewhere around level 10. After I found it, I was determined to make it a nanomanufacture ammo weapon, but in hindsight this wasn't such a good idea. I would have been far better off by breaking it down and hoping for an exotic mod, and using that on a standard plasma rifle. After all, not one single nano pack did drop :(. I was really hoping for one, so much so that when something unique dropped on 99 I was really excited when I saw that it was a weapon on a computer map. When it broke down into a sniper pack, I was really disappointed.
However, the missile launcher I built this time around has to be one of my favorite weapons I've ever used. I got a firestorm pack by breaking down a minigun around 15-20. I wanted to avoid putting it on a weapon that would consume more ammo, so instead stuck it on the missile launcher I already had. Paired it with a bulk and couple of power mods, and this cannon was sending gibs flying all over the map. The amount of destruction I was able to rain down was amazing, after a couple of rockets half of the map was completely destroyed. It was probably the only reason I made it all the way to the bottom, because there never seemed to be a shortage of rockets throughout the whole run.
I also found the Gothic armor early on too, and was determined to make it fireshield. Unlike the pipedream above, this one actually happened! The fireshield and Gothic armor stats complement each other so perfectly, it was like a destined match. Up to this point I was using Malek's armor and was very happy with it, but quickly dumped it after getting some ranks in HR. I liked it much more than something than a cybernano red suit, since it can be taken off, and has signficant amount of resistances as well. From half way on, most enemies were not able to do more than 1HP of damage.
Later on, I had tons of mod packs to spare so I stuck a sniper pack on a nuclear BFG I found. I had the idea if I really needed to use a BFG I REALLY wouldn't want it miss my intended target, but it didn't get enough use to really warrant it, I had only used it on a pack of V with a N! V in the center, and the second N! V. Even after putting it on, I kind of knew it was a mistake. Even with only EE2, I don't think my character missed any shots, even while running. Now that the novelty of doing that is over, it is something I'm definitely not doing again.
The recurring theme of this run seemed to be 'no ammo'! Early on I knew that I wanted a weapon that didn't consume a lot of ammo, so I went with a hyperblaster. I loved that it was possible to fire only two shots by using the initial chain fire too, I saved mounds of ammo by finishing off near death enemies like this. However, it wasn't near enough.
I don't think I had gotten any worthwhile amount after the A cave on level 82. On 87, I literally threw on the phaseshift set and walked the C over lava until all of them had died. Level 90 was a complete melee fest. The plasma cell shortage was so dire that when a chaingun and 10mm ammochain dropped on level 94 I built an assault rifle, and it was the weapon that I had to kill the cyberdemon with on 97 as well.
By level 77 I had realized that I was passing up TONS of modpacks on my way down, and instead of wasting them, I should be using them to complete some assemblies. Next time I play, that is something I'll pay attention to from the beginning.
Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I never encountered the dragonslayer or beserk armor. Aren't this guaranteed drops on Ao100?
