I'm thinking of doing a playthrough on hard with Crimson armor... I'm half way through normal and am doing fine (only 1 death and 10 defibs) sooo could I do it on hard only using my face?

The extra armor of Crimson makes me think I can do it.

Honestly I think try nightmare from the word go it's not much more difficult all I see is that you take more damage and the enemies take a few more shots to kill other than that there's not an increase of enemies or they're strategies of movement.

the toughest enemies in the game will die to 4 headshots with fat mamas or pop rockets, most enemies in the game excluding those big walking armoured guys with miniguns will die with 1 fat mama headshot (2 shots any where else) on nightmare difficulty.

with the way money is so easy to come by, you can basically make a few hundread fat mamas before each mission and just go around 1 shotting everyone, so i would say if you understand how to use diffrent types of ammo, nightmare difficulty is the only way to play (and even then its still too easy)

I don't headshot I hipfire most of the time... I cant ADS very well (need to switch controllers) but yeah fat mammas or pop rocks
