Everything was dropping massive amounts of scrap. Had fully upgraded everything by the end and still had 200 scrap left over.

I finally got a good run and I ended up killing the boss. I got to the 3rd stage on my 1st playthrough, but never got back. Now hes dead! I'm so excited that I got a basically perfect run!

Crappiest part is it isn't even my high score.

Congratz! You must have turned him into Swiss cheese with that weapon loadout.
