UV Maxing this map is a lot harder than it seems. It greatly depends in the enemy movement, which is random. The biggest cause of failed runs for me was reaching the exit and missing 1 monster from the beginning of the map. After getting the rocket launcher, bringing all nearby monsters to the starting room is very random and unpredictable. I had to turn down the music so I could hear the idle sound of nearby monsters, to be aware if I'd left something alive. Even with this technique I still left enemies alive sometimes.

Otherwise, assuming you kill everything, getting a good time also depends a lot on RNG; especially when it comes to rocket and barrel explosion damage. Other than that, this map is pretty generous with health, armor, and even ammo.

This run was a great improvement on how I was doing previously. But there's clearly a lot of movement issues in this run. Also I had some bad luck, and got some low explosion damage rolls that required losing time with the chaingun to clear rooms. This time of 1m41.46 (3rd place in DSDA) is "acceptable" for now, since beating Radek's time of 1m33.31 (2nd place) is out of reach for me, at the moment.
