1. A method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, from a network node, a plurality of repeated physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates for a single random access message 2 during a random access response window;
transmitting, to the network node, a random access message 3 on resources indicated by the random access message 2, the resources for the random access message 3 being time shifted by an offset associated with a strongest of the plurality of repeated PDCCH candidates; and
receiving, from the network node, a random access message 4 that is transmitted using a beam associated with the offset.
