Pinball Noir Secrets and Shadows target practice quest is insanely unreasonable

[lomaxgnome]

I'm not the best Pinball player in the world but I'm not bad either and I can't even get close to the 2.5 million requirement in even two minutes, much less one minute for three bumpers. The lowest tier challenge shouldn't be so difficult because it completely stops progress in the questline and this is only the 4th tier quest. If there's some trick to it then that trick is way too obscure because I've tried it dozens of times now. I like these questlines additions but I hope they are going to get some tuning and not just get brought out and then completely abandoned with no amount of balancing at all.

The fastest way to do this is by hitting the spinning set of targets next to the right ramp. If you time your shot with the light midway or closer to the targets, you can earn quite a few points that way.

make the double cross shot then hit the crooked cop. can be completed in 12 seconds.

Thanks, I squeaked by at literally the last second getting multiball active, if I try for more bumpers I'll try that. I expect the 3 bumper tier to be difficult but the 1 bumper is far more difficult than all the others I've tried and since it locks out the rest of the questline it feels particularly unfair. I think it should be raised to 150 seconds (or more), or have the point requirement lowered substantially. Unlike the other challenges the "do as quick as possible" challenges in general feel very luck based and only having a limited number of possible methods to accomplish.

Can you explain that with more detail? It's fine for there to be something tricky and not obvious to getting the highest reward but I still believe it should be possible to get the 1 bumper level through more basic and logical play.
