So all of us Year 1 veterans and others know about the notorious Randal the Vandal. Unfortunately, some newb people don't know about him, but here's 2 ideas.
1: Normal Randal
[spoiler]It would be a Patrol mission on Earth that you would get from a beacon in the Forgotten Shore. One of the Vanguard mentors would give some dialogue along the lines of:
"The Vanguard has been receiving multiple reports of a particular Fallen Vandal butchering Guardian Fireteams in the area. Check it out."
Once you got to his cave, a message would appear in the killfeed:
"You have crossed into Randal's domain..."
After that message, multiple Dregs and Shanks would pour out of Randal's cave. When you finish dealing with them, you would enter the cave to discover a cave system/maze. It is nearly pitch black inside except for a few torches lighting the way every so often. You would encounter more Fallen and even some Hive as well along the way. As you got closer to the end, you would begin to hear a faint sound.
Ghost: "Is that...singing?"
After navigating the maze for some time, you eventually reach the boss room, which is a very large cave with stone pillars supporting the roof. Human skeletons and scattered Hive ashes and other remains litter the floor. At the opposite side of the room is a Vandal sitting on a throne named "Randal, Kell Rising." A Servitor is at his left side supplying Randal with energy and a Turret Shank named "H.A.N.K." is at his right side. Multiple Fallen of various sizes are singing (think of monks singing in monasteries.)
Randal sees you and says something in a surprisingly deep voice, and points at you. That's when all the Fallen and the Servitor as well as Hank attack. They are dealt with easily and all that's left is Randal. He sits up from his throne and attacks.
What's different about him is that he doesn't have any special mechanics. He just has a SHIT-TON of health, and can kill you in only a few shots. The battle would most likely take a long time to complete, but doing this would grant you much more Vanguard and Faction rep points than normal missions. And you could use 3 of Coins on Randal and Hank.[/spoiler]
2: SIVA Randal
[spoiler]The mission itself would flow the same way, but with starting dialogue instead being like this:
"A particular SIVA cluster has been having a hard time being exterminated. Perhaps you could do it?"
The mission goes the same way up until the boss room. A Splicer Vandal is seen in a glass container built by SIVA. Multiple Fallen Splicers attack you. After dealing with them, Randal emerges from containment. Instead of being named "Randal, Kell Rising," he is named "Randal, Splicer Perfected." Hank the Shank would still be there and still just be called "H.A.N.K." Just like before, you can use 3 of Coins on both Randal and Hank, and completing the mission gives you much more Vanguard and Faction rep points.[/spoiler]
Please do leave Feedback and Bump if you could. I want Bungie to see this.
