The Challenges:
Gunslinger - Kill 40 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 3200cR
Today's challenges are pretty much on the easy side and should not take a lot of time to complete at all. "The Magic Number" challenge has you playing seven games today while the "A Solid Outing" challenge has you getting at least twelve kills in a single game. Typically, you will be getting about ten to fifteen kills per game on average, so this challenge should be well taken care of in about three to four games. However, if you are having problems getting kills, try some Grifball instead.

A Solid Outing - Earn at least 12 kills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2300cR
Perhaps, besides the "Streaky Shooter" challenge, this one looks to be the most difficult one of the day, though still not very hard. You should be hitting, on average, about ten to fifteen kills per game in multiplayer Matchmaking in a typical standard playlist. That will pretty much take care of this challenge in a single game, but there is a lot of room to mess up and not complete this one. If you are having trouble getting to twelve kills in a single game, try Grifball, since you can just rack up the kills there.

Streaky Shooter - Earn 3 sprees in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2000cR
A spree in multiplayer Matchmaking is earned when you score five kills without dying, get five kills with a specific weapon without dying, or complete five of another action (i.e. Assists Spree, Spawn Spree) without dying. What is even better is that these sprees do not need to be in a single game and, due to "The Magic Number" challenge, you have seven games in which to get three sprees. Living Dead, if you are a survivor, is a great gametype for this challenge since, if you get a Killing Spree, you will also get a Zombie Killing Spree, therefore taking care of two sprees. Now, there is a chance that this challenge will only count Killing Sprees, even though that was not stated. If that is the case, Living Dead is still a good option.

The Magic Number - Complete 7 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 3000cR
This is the pivotal challenge of the day and the one that will have you playing a decent amount of multiplayer Matchmaking today. Just completing seven games is actually quite easy. As well, the other challenges today do not exactly stipulate or require and specific gametype so have fun. Remember that you need to complete the games. If you get kicked, disconnect, or simply quit from the game, it will not count and you will need to play another game in lieu of the one that you did not finish.

The Weekly Challenge:
Like a Record, Baby - Complete 50 Rounds in Firefight Matchmaking. - 7777cR

You would wish that this challenge was a joke, but it is not, unfortunately. This is a Weekly Challenge with the credit value from a Daily Challenge, which is bull shit. But, anyway, a Round in Firefight Matchmaking consists of five Waves. A game of Score Attack will consist of a single Round, but games in the regular Firefight playlist will consist of three Rounds, which is called a Set. Arcadefight is probably the best gametype for you to pick as you have a lot of options for weapons and Armor Abilities. If you use the Firefight Playlist, you will need to play seventeen games over the next week. That is two to three games a day which is quite doable. Just pick three days to play three games on.
