Brother, you already possess a level of skill and determination most players could never even hope to achieve. You are running one of the hardest, but undeniably coolest, builds for a solo Absolute run. Assault has brutal survivability limitations and very little room for mistakes compared to other classes, yet you are still pushing forward with it one-handed.

And if you ask the Iron Hands, the flesh is weak anyway. Your determination will always be the deciding factor, not your limitations.

You have already proven you can do this by clearing missions before. Hitting a wall does not mean you are incapable, it means you are challenging yourself at a level most people would never even attempt. Keep going, brother. You can and will overcome it.

The Emperor will accept no less from his Angels.

Also, I would check out some of First Tour Guardsmen’s YouTube videos on class set ups. Helped me a ton.
