PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS A TESTING VERSION, RANDY IS NOT FEATURE COMPLETE

Not that he'll be complete once I'm happy bringing him out of testing either.

All Rounder Randy Junior

Meet All Rounder Randy Junior! He's joined us as a replacement for his father, co-founder and a valuable team member who was often too drunk and delerious to be of any help and has probably died in the middle of a forest after a really chaotic rave via overdosing on a notable quantity of weed brownies and WD40.

Nevertheless, here we are.

So, what's the deal?

Randy Junior here is designed mostly as a spin on Classic Loadout Louis, a lot of the weapons you get with him will be worse than what you'd normally get in a Louis run at the same point in time, though the enemies are also adjusted to compensate.

The guy has a fair bit to go before I'm really happy with him, but so far I've managed to get him to a pretty interesting point with enjoyable combat all by himself.

You got any tips?

• Try and manage your budget wisely, you can still get by surprisingly well with budget weaponry (lever-action rifles especially), keep in mind Randy doesn't have a single recycling station, so even weapons that cost a point, well, actually cost a point.
• Don't get too focused on score and worrying about weapons that will allow you to get it, for one, score doesn't exist with Take & Hold Tweaker or most weapon mods, for two, Randy is a lot more enjoyable taking weapons and spending cash on weapons you really wouldn't normally expect, testing this character has made me a convert for bolt-action rifles, having a high caliber weapon you can really give some repeated fire with is a very welcome thing.
• Even low-caliber weapons are designed to be viable, a lot of Sosig types have a lot less blood than the base Take & Hold SWAT Sosigs, which often means one or two shots are good enough to guarantee they'll bleed out, shots to the head won't stun though, you'll want to go for the legs if that's your goal, which can be handy for a brief respite.
• Supply points don't have tokens anymore, the only tokens you will ever get are from completing a hold, but that being said, taking supply points is still worth it, they will always have two boxes and both are health, not to mention there are ammo spawner and mag stations as well as more goodies you can buy.
• Try using power-ups if you've neglected them before (which I've been guilty of myself and still kinda am), Randy makes the power-ups a lot more predictable in terms of what you get, you shouldn't feel disappointed after buying one.

Where can I give feedback?

Please join the H3VR Modding Server, it's a place that exists to be a comfy, drama-free Discord server, it's a bit quiet though, we're trying to get it active and more people are always handy, you can put any feedback you have in the #modding-general channel, and feel free to ping me (Jessica#6000) about it.

jEsSs whERE's ThE cHANgelOG!?!?!?!??!!!...???????!?!?!?

I have a changelog on Github, I would recommend checking out the repository if you want to find out how Randy is made, too, though it's probably rather overwhelming for someone who doesn't understand how custom characters are made in the first place.
