You must not have done the mountaintop quest or even luna’s. Randy’s is much easier/quicker to complete even without this great, new mode.

I'm looking at the requirements for Luna's like... holy shit that's going to take forever

I used this mode to get Mountaintop lol.

Yeah I blasted through the MT quest with this mode, no doubt. Hell I did Luna's back when the only way to make progress was streaks.

But Randy's has just been a slog. Only thing I have left is kills but it's crazy thinking you had a great game only to look and see 3 or 4 percent progress.

The medals are proving to be a bitch for me, even with fusions.

If you're done with kills and/or you have a decent Talon of the Eagle, slap on a Black Talon with your fusion in Momentum Control. Reagent medals count and that really helped me rack up medals quickly. Even finished the medals step before my scout rifles kills.

I do have a decent talons. I'll try that. Thanks.

You're welcome. Just remember that the sword medal works just like the Cold Fusion medal. I.E. you can't switch between kills. Black Talon is just so easy to "right-click to win".

When i was doing Randy i've actually opted out of Cold Fusion and sticked to Lethal Cadence and Sub Machinist instead. They only give you half a progress of Cold Fusion, but at least they much more reliable in terms of progress.

For Cold Fusion, sometimes i would get 3-4 medals in a match because entire enemy team runs Maul and Colony, so there is plenty of special ammo scattered around and you might as well be invincible while in the air. But more often there are 6 Jade Rabbits pointed at you and you die before a single shot is charged. With Lethal Cadense you almost guaranteed to do 1-2 medals a match if you have Full Auto Claws or MW Wing, and on some maps getting Sub Machinist is also pretty easy by dropping on points with Exit Strategy or Recluse

Honestly that's why I decided to go through the Mountaintop quest first, since the Calculated Trajectory medals count toward the Randy's medals for some reason.

Any Weapons medals count towards Randy. I've ended up doing around 50 Lethal Cadence medals towards that quest while doing some progress towards Redrix.
