Halo 4 War Games Daily and Weekly Challenges - 12/31/12 - Updated

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

The Challenges:
Spray and Pray - Get 15 kills with an Automatic Loadout Weapon. - 1250 XP
Automatic Loadout Weapons in Halo 4 include the AR (Automatic Rifle), the Storm Rifle, and the Suppressor. The Needler and the Chain Gun do not count for these challenges as you cannot equip them in loadouts. These fifteen kills, luckily, do not need to be in a single game and can be earned over the entire day. Whichever weapon you choose will depend on several things, the first of which being what weapons you have unlocked, the next being the type of combat you prefer. The Storm Rifle has the tightest spread but is the weakest while the Suppressor is the most powerful but is the most inaccurate. The AR sits in the middle being the best compromise to both weapons with a decently concentrated spread and good power behind it. I would stick to objective gametypes as they will allow you to get in close quarters and score these kills.

Quick on the Trigger - Earn 3 Combat Skill Medals in a single match. - 2650 XP
Combat skill medals, for those who do not already know of them, include the Killjoy, Headcase, From the Grave, Reload This, and Showstopper Medals. Granted, a lot of these are based off of luck, a few can be farmed, namely the Reload This and Headcase medals, which you will be best off trying for with a Precision Weapons (i.e. DMR, BR, Light Rifle, Covenant Carbine). Now, you need to score three in a single match but this is not really a difficult challenge if you are in a long match with a lot of players. Dominion would be my preferred gametype, though you can also have great success with Capture the Flag as those games typically go the entire time.

The Weekly Challenges:
Fully Automated - Get 15 kills with an Automatic Loadout Weapon in a single match. - 6250 XP
Well, doesn't this look familiar? It is almost identical to the Daily Challenge "Spray and Pray" except that it is asking you to get this fifteen kills in a single game. Allow me to copy some: Automatic Loadout Weapons in Halo 4 include the AR (Automatic Rifle), the Storm Rifle, and the Suppressor. The Needler and the Chain Gun do not count for these challenges as you cannot equip them in loadouts. Now, we need these fifteen kills in a single game so, as suggested above, I would stick to objective gametypes which will allow you the maximum amount of time to score these kills. Aim for small maps, like Haven or Adrift and, as I stated before, I would stick with the AR since it gives you the best combination of accuracy and power.

Earn 35 Combat Skill Medals. - Earn 35 Combat Skill Medals. - 4650 XP
Combat Skill medals, as described above, include the Killjoy, Headcase, From the Grave, Reload This, and Showstopper Medals. Using Precision Weapons is likely your best bet for this challenge, to go for the Headcase and Reload This Medals, and the Daily Challenge "Quick on the Trigger" is already giving you some help today in this regard. Now, thirty-five over this week will come out to five Combat Skill Medals a day. Not exactly a trying challenge. You can likely have this done by Wednesday or Tuesday if you really wanted to as it will only take fifteen to twenty games to accomplish. Regardless, at least five a day.
