Halo Reach Daily and Weekly Challenges Guide - 1/23/12

Please subscribe above this and/or follow me on twitter! Have any ideas or comments about the challenges? Post them down below!

The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
A hundred and twenty enemies in Firefight Matchmaking should be a single game in the Score Attack Playlist as long as you play something like Gruntpocalypse or 2X Score Attack. Other gametypes, like regular Score Attack will have you about a hundred and ten kills. There is a definite possibility that you could fall slightly short of a hundred and twenty kills

Gunslinger - Kill 150 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 5500cR
This is a lot of kills for a single day in multiplayer Matchmaking. You will get some kills while working on the Weekly Challenge but, once you are done with that for the day, I would just load up Grifball and stark racking up the kills. You can get about thirty to forty-five kills a game in Grifball and even more than that if it becomes a long game. Expect this to take about three to five additional games to get to a hundred and fifty kills.

Short, Controlled Bursts - Kill 200 enemies with automatic weapons in the Campaign today. - 3000cR
This challenge will take a lot of time today to complete. Automatic weapons in campaign include the Automatic Rifle, Needler, Plasma Repeater, and the Plasma Rifle. You should really have no trouble finding automatic weapons on the ground and I would carry around two in case you run out of ammunition for one. You should be fine playing on Normal as you will be working on the "Just a Shower" challenge. Start on Winter Contingency and play until the challenge is complete. Remember that you just need to get shots on the Covies. After that, it is fine if your AI teammates get the kills.

Just a Shower - Complete any Campaign mission on Normal or harder with Thunderstorm on. - 4000cR
Just for today, even though I would normally tell you to play Nightfall for this challenge, play Winter Contingency so you can work on the "Short, Controlled Bursts" challenge. Since you can do this challenges on Normal it makes everything easier. The Thunderstorm Skull just makes it so all the enemies are upgraded to the next level, i.e. all Grunts become Ultras. On Normal, you will not see much of a difference and this challenge will be done after you complete the first mission.

The Weekly Challenge:

Single Wield - Earn 200 kills with small arms weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 20343cR
This Weekly Challenge will simply take dedication, though there is a way to get small arms kills that is not as aggravating as the rest. Living Dead will be a great playlist for this challenge as you can get a ton of small arms kills by shooting Zombies with headshots. There are more playlists in which you can get small arms kills, like Multi Team or Team SWAT. However, Living Dead gives you the best kills per time spent. You need to score at least about thirty a day for this challenge over the next week. That will put you at two-hundred and ten kills, which is ten more than required.
