EAGLE EYE

edit – WAIT… IF YOU CAN’T CARRY HEALTHPACKS, MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO WITH SOMETHING LIKE IRONMAN OR TOUGH AS NAILS. I CAN’T DECIDE HELP

Uhh, what do you think is better for this kind of situation?

Welp, Eagle Eye is one of my favourite traits, it makes chainguns (my weapon of choice) SO much better, as well as making you better at fighting in general. However, in an AoI run, you wanna be as survivable as possible. ‘Sides which, pistols are pretty accurate already, and shotguns ALWAYS have 50% accuracy.

So really, it depends on preference. Any of the 3 would be equally good ATM.

OKAY, GO WITH TOUGH AS NAILS I GUESS (i bumume this boosts your defense right?)

(Yep, sure does. One important thing I forgot to mention is that level 2 TaN also unlocks Badbum, which could help a LOT (decreases decay of health over 100%))

Feeling bloodied and burnt from his trials, Alemda finishes off the solitary ex-human remaining, then scouts the floor quickly. He finds armor (which he quickly puts on), another medkit, and little else. Now he has a choice to make…the regular staircase, or the “Hell’s Arena” one?

if we’re serious about beating this challenge, i think we should skip hell’s arena for now. maybe we can come back later.

LEAVE IT BEHIND. **** THOSE DEMONS AND THEIR MINDGAMES

Almeda may be impatient as hell, but he’s no risk-taker. Descending the stairs, he finds himself in a mbumize labyrinth if corridors. He scratches his head, lost and confused already…

Try to find some health globes & med packs

After running into (and dispatching) a few sergeants and imps, Almeda hits the jackpot:

These illegal combat drugs, given the nickname ‘berserk packs’ by the marines, were once used by the UAC as an effective means of healing any injuries a man could sustain almost instantaneously.

hm. you can’t take it with you, right? perhaps you should just use it right now. I dunno about your chances of being able to run back to it in a time of need, but i’d say go for it.

(yeah, powerups you can’t take with you on ANY mode unfortunately. Alrighty, one ****ed off marine coming right up)

As he injects the drug into his system, Almeda feels his adrenalin pumping, and a red fury overtake him. His burns are replaced by fresh pink skin, his bullet wounds close. And he wants to kill. Oh god does he want to kill.

Rounding the corner, he is barely missed by an ex-human’s pistol. Screaming incomprehensibly at the monster, Almeda grabs it by the hair and in one brutish motion rips its head clean off. Tossing it aside, he runs on, running into a group of imps. He takes a direct hit from a fireball, but it only serves to make him angrier. Pulling the trigger repeatedly in a frenzy, the alarmed creatures are soon all dead. Marching through the bodies, he feels the effects of the drug wearing off. A little disappointed, he rounds the corner, to find that the imps weren’t alone…..

Back away a little then try to attack if they come after you.

Ducking back into the pbumageway, Almeda readies his shotgun. He waits….and waits….and waits. Nothing. He peeks around the corner. The imps have moved on. Annoyed, he uses his pistol to nail one in the back. NOW it comes after him, only to end up munching on a tasty shotgun sandwich. Almeda continues ducking in and out of the corridor, picking off the monsters one by one. About 7 corpses later, he hears no more noises on the other side of the wall. Wandering aimlessly through the maze for a while, Almeda comes across the stairs down. However, he hears another imp nearby, and realises there may still be goodies scattered around….

Use small health globe.

As Almeda grabs the globe, an imp appears out of the darkness. Quickly killing it, he suddenly feels a lot safer. Exploring around, he finds another small globe, some ammo, and *two* Berserk Packs. Grabbing the one closest to the stairs, Almeda charges down them, blood pumping furiously. He finds himself in a small room with several doors. He pauses for a second while he decides which one to smash…
