Another hit-scanner hell has fallen to reality! This one is more like a mini-hell, because the map is quite small and the run can be done in under 2 minutes. I'm sure this time can be brought lower a few seconds more, but the start is such an RNG grind that I decided to stop after beating the 1m40 threshold.

The beginning of this map is the worst. It's nearly impossible to take on all the enemies coming towards me at the start with only a pistol. Also, shooting and killing them from far away with the pistol means that the shotguns and chainguns that they drop will be out of reach until I run out of ammo and lose.

It took me many failures to realize that there's a better strategy: wait for the shotgunners / chaingunners to get close and start entering the first door, and only kill them there. That means killing the 2 first zombies to clear up the path for bigger enemies, and wait. During this waiting time I used the pistol to safely kill the shotgunners on the left side, to make some use of the - otherwise wasted - waiting time.

Afterwards, surviving the first hall, the priority is to pickup the super-shotgun, to try and get double- or triple-kills on imps as frequently as possible. Sometimes the damaging floor gets you, and you need to restart... yet again. But after passing the damaging floor and getting the SSG, the rest of the level should be completed easily.

After getting the yellow key, dropping down is the safest way to deal with the chaingunner trap. You should continue to the left side, take the teleporter, and do an SR50 jump to the exit, since pressing the button and waiting for the bridge to rise is slower.
