Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 3/9/11

Please follow the blog and/or follow me on twitter!

The Challenges:
More than a Handful - Kill 125 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2500cR

• You will get at least forty kills doing the "Single Wield" challenge and that leaves another eighty-five for you to gain.  You can go the Grifball route or just stick to regular Slayer.  I tend to stray away from Big Team Battle even though a few people like it to get a lot of kills.  First of all, it takes forever.  Games are way too long.  Secondly, there is always one player who takes the best vehicle.  If you get it and he does not, he just betrays you and destroys the vehicle.  It just ends up wasting time.  It simply is not worth the time. 

Take a Dip - Kill 150 enemies on Waterfront in Firefight Matchmaking.- 1125cR

• Two matches of Score Attack on Waterfront and this will be done.  Firefight Arcade might be a good option as well, but you have a much smaller chance of the map popping up.

Return of the Mack - Kill 50 Elites in Campaign today on Normal or Harder. - 1700cR

• Best level for this challenge, to me, has always been the Long Night of Solace.  Start it up at Rally Point Bravo.  Normal has a far number of Elites but there seems to be even more if you play the level on Heroic.  You will probably need to reload the level to finish off the challenge.

Single Wield - Earn 40 kills with small arms weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 1300cR

• Small arms weapons mean the Magnum, Plasma Pistol, Needler, and I believe the Plasma Rifle.  Technically the Target Locator is single wield as well, but you will never, ever see that in Multiplayer.  Though it would be awesome.  SWAT Magnums is your best bet here.  Pick small maps and this should take three to four games.
