User blog:Bomber35/How to dominate nightmare mode.

Nightmare mode is quite tough for the unprepared.Out of my few 100 nightmare sessions I have gained a lot of experience.I can almost solo a 391 session in fact I only died once soloing that session.So how can you make it easy here's how.

Get a decent weapon with adaptive that has at least has 15k dps.Normal zombies in nightmare are highly resistant to physical,and bosses and zombies with the elite nightmarish modifier are 75% resistant to all forms of damage,so bringing a weapon with adaptive is highly recommended,without it you won't get far.

Use HDA (high damage ammo) for boss fights.They increase your damage every mastery level.Base 25% Level 2 30% Level 3 35% Level 4 40% Level 5 50%.HDA is expensive so save it only for bossing and not for clearing.

Be at least 50% resistant to all forms of damage.Titan/Guardian/Hardplate for physical,Guardian for thermal,and Medusa for chemical.Combining these pieces of armor should give 50/50/50 with a few points in BAE (body armor expert).

You will aslo have to be fast and reload at a decent rate.At least have 30% in movement speed and 20% in reload.With you being fast you can outrun bosses which hit really hard.Aslo reloading quick can save you in some tight situations and let's you do more damage per second ,as reloading is a big deduction for dps ,to bosses as well. Use cryogenic turrets and cryogenic gernades to slow down bosses.Bosses are fast nightmare especially enraged devastators and necrosis.
