We investigate fluctuation phenomena for the graph distance and the number of cut points associated with random media arising from the range of a random walk. Our results demonstrate a sequence of dimension-dependent phase transitions in the scaling behavior of these fluctuations, leading to qualitatively different regimes, with a distinct phase transition in dimension 6. In particular, we remark that convergence in dimension 6 occurs with a non-standard rescaling.
