How to trigger Skippy mission ?

[ExTaZzY]

I noticed there is an indicator next to the gun, the same as the mission ones so I thought that it could be a mission. I searched on google and found that at one point I can return the gun to its owner.
How do I reach that mission ? Do I need to use skippy ? Cause I haven t really

You need to neutralize 50+ enemies per Skippy setting, first. Once you've done that, Skippy will eventually trigger that new side quest.

To be honest, it's a slog because of how low damage Skippy is. I ended-up farming at the Pacifica beach and using hacks to "soften-up" targets to more quickly take them out with the gun.

As per the Wiki "Later on (can be about eight in-game days after Skippy automatically switches/locks its firing mode), Skippy will ask to be returned to Regina Jones, starting the side job Machine Gun."

This is incorrect: Skippy's quest is not time-based.

The first portion of the quest where you choose the fire mode does not. The second portion where you return it to Regina isnt based on kills from what I can tell. I hardly used Skippy after finishing the selector portion and it randomly popped up with the return quest.

Yeah, I could see the post mode-flip potentially not being kill-count dependent.
I literally completed this quest two days ago in one sitting which was one in-universe day (apologies to all those gang-members trying to have a nice day-off at the beach). So, it's definitely not time-based.

You first have to talk to Skippy where he forces you to choose a mode for him. Then you need to finish (kill or KO) certain amount of enemies with Skippy using that mode.

Once you have done so, you will get a phonecall iirc. Hint: he will get stuck in the OTHER mode once you finish the quest.
