gun queue ruins challenge runs

[Soup]

there is a difference between a good challenge and just straight up difficulty, and I feel like the gun queue in challenge runs goes way past that line. Before, the challenge runs were a good test of skill and I enjoyed them (tho i always died to the dragun one way or another because of high stress) but getting gun queue, especially in a boss room makes everything way too insanely difficult. I feel like the rest of the challenges that were added to challenge mode in the update benefit the challenge by making it more unique while still presenting a good test of skill, but I personally feel that gun queue ruins the game mode. anyone else agree or am i just gonna get bashed in the comments?

Gun Queue is fine to me. Hammer Time is the only one that causes me significant problems.

i never had a problem with any of them once i learned how to evade/work around them but gun queue is a run killer for me since there really is no work around. every time i get it i lose at least a half heart

You can trigger a gun rotation early by manually reloading. If you get a gun you don't like or isn't good for the current situation, just fire one shot and reload. Play defensively against non-bosses. Stall behind pillars or such if you need to. Really bad guns, you could even just drop/not pick up when playing challenge Mode.

i have a tendancy to get a lot of one shot/charge weapons during my challenge runs which is what i think screws me up the most, but theyre so good for enemy killing in rooms without gun queue so i cant turn them down

A lot of of single-shot weapons should be better for Gun Queue, as the rotating effect will bypass the reload time.

yeah but its the having to change my tactics/strategies on the spot that gets me. im able to tackle just about any room with any one or 2 weapons, no problem, but having to constantly change weapons just screws me over since i usually use certain weapon/weapon types for certain enemies and bosses, especially the bosses

I hate the one where every decorative thing shoots you when broken
