In my opinion, if you play more than 6 months, you must almost intentionally avoid the comms to be under 2500 score and then, the 500 points more should be no problem until March. Select those comms which are quickly achievable. Not the one you mentioned with the 10.000 Rikers. I am sure there are already several youtube videos about the easiest comms. But the better way, in my view, is to select the ones you want to complete by yourself according to your preferences. Ok, I have to confess that I am a completionist. I like getting platinum trophies, commendations etc, and for me, the Shields are a joke, absolutely no challenge. That's why I think, we all have to make compromises regarding Shields and 3000 is a good compromise, the "happy medium". And as already mentioned, the Shields are not exactly made for casual players, imo. If you are really a casual player, don't mind the Shields. The rewards are not worth the effort.
I think one of the issues with it really is that it isn't easy to "group for commendations" making it a bit harder to achieve as a casual player than maybe it should be. Actually despite playing the game well over 6 months now and many many hours I'm still just under 3000 and finding it hard to tick off those last few without finding players who will play specifically for commendations which actually isn't easy.
Though I could just cheese a load of content in tier 1 to hit it easy but that doesn't really appeal to me.
Sorry Chris, I don't want to be a know-it-all, but the word is commendation not accomodation (accomodation is a housing or lodging). I only mentioned it, since I saw it the second time in your posts. Hope you don't mind.
To Rroff, I absolutely agree with you regarding group finding. When I started doing the commendations a year ago, it was already not easy to find a group for commendations such as Flawless Incursions, Lockdown, The Manhunted etc. Many players who want those comms have them already. But maybe, there are more players willing to complete commendations now, due to the Talon Shield. I asked all the guys on my friend list for help and helped them with their comms. This way, it works best.

Sorry, then for explaining. Thank you for DZ tips. I often wear Nomad with shock turret and immunizer., but for rope cutting, I will try the fire turret as you recommended. Unfortunately, nobody has offered any tips or tricks for Blood Money. Most probably, there are none, apart from clearing the two LMs again and again. LS is PVP. I hate to leave my team alone at Beta and kill NPCs in the LM. This one is really silly.
I wouldn’t worry too much about LS and Skirmish. I don’t have all of them and i rarely go in. The ones for gear to equip is pretty easy you can mix classy with regular and it will pop. Now if you’re wanting to do manhunted that will take a bit, it took me a little bit and got it last week. I don’t remember what blood money entails. I think I’ve done that one but not entirely sure. Also if you decide to do flawless underground it seems bugged. First time one of my friends got wiped by a hunter. They showed up and almost took me out but I was alright, so he thought I was down when I wasn’t and boom he got nailed. After that we ran it again and no one went down or died and it was on 3 phase challenge. It never gave it to us, tried a few more times and same thing never popped.
Doing LMG, SMG, Sniper, AR and Shotgun ones aren’t so bad you can actually get the sniper one and most of the Rioter kills done just by running Lincoln Tunnel. Use any other weapons for the first part and when you get past the tunnel switch to Sentry or Hunters Faith if you have them if not you should clear it without those sets anyways(just an option to get through faster). So really the ones you’ll end up finishing first would be AR, SMG, Sniper, LMG and Shotgun takes a bit longer especially shotty. Also, depends on what your favorite weapons are come to think of it.
What system do you play on?
