RNG gave me an SMG and a shield that constantly refilled my armor, so the run became a cakewalk. I also had extremely high mobility, plus so many DMG-ups and the Strong Attack ultimate so I could just evaporate bosses. Since I also had the dual wield pickup I could use a secondary rocket launcher to erase high priority targets almost instantly.

Actually really cool and stylish, albeit buggy. I had to reload the map because a moving platform was misaligned. My first ~20 minutes were also spent with the folder structure misconfigured because I didn't understand how to install the map properly.

It was neat to see what I presume is the introduction of the disc-surfing enforcers to Quake. The levels weren't particularly exciting though tbh.
I only died once in the turret test labs, and that was chiefly due to prior cat interference resulting in unduly low health for that level.

Yeah I made the mistake of jumping into a .pak tuned for Quake veterans.

I had to make frequent use of Quicksaves to clear this on Hard. The Golden King was a tanky bastard, didn't actually die to him though.
