The Challenges:
Prediction: Pain - Complete any Campaign Mission on Heroic or higher difficulty with the Famine, Luck and Thunderstorm skulls. - 20000 XP
Well, no freebies this week as neither of these challenges will be completed by the other. It would have been nice, but not going to happen. Now, you could simply add on the Famine, Tough Luck, and Thunderstorm skulls while running through Forerunner but I would definitely not recommend it as ammunition is very precious in Halo 4 and that would also boost the difficulty up to Legendary. Instead, as usual, I would recommend that you run through the level Dawn on Heroic difficulty with the indicated skulls. Famine will cause all dropped weapons to have half as much ammunition, the Tough Luck skull will cause all enemies to dodge more often, and the Thunderstorm skull will upgrade all enemies. No need to make this any harder than it already is.

My Favorite Forerunner - Complete Forerunner co-operatively on Legendary difficulty. - 12000 XP
Forerunner is the first level in which you encounter the Prometheans and here are some strategies for them. First off, kill Watchers first. These annoying pests spawn Crawlers, can resurrect Knights, and can randomly shield whoever they feel like. Killing them should always be a priority. For taking down Knights, any sort of automatic weapon (i.e. the AR, Storm Rifle, SAW, Suppressor) are fantastic for taking down their shields. Knights have a very small area in which you can headshot them with precision weapons to score the kill after the shields have been taken out. Remember that when the Covenant shows up, let them and the Prometheans fight. No need to jump into that battle. Now, the Mythic skull will double all enemy health, the Tilt skull will make then stronger, the Tough Luck skull will cause them to dodge a lot, and the Thunderstorm skull will upgrade all enemies. This requires co-op, so grab a friend or three and make it easier on yourself.
