Halo Reach Daily and Weekly Challenges Guide - 4/4/11

The Challenges:

Gunslinger - Kill 75 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking.

This will be your easiest challenge today.  Personally, I would stick to Grifball since it lets you bring in so many kills.  I have had games where I have hit fifty kills.  Any other playlist will take you about five or six games to reach this number, whereas Grifball lets you reach it in about three.

If you find that you cannot stand Grifball, go for Multi Team and pick objective games or pick Team Objective.  Objective games are the key because there is no limit to the number of kills that can be obtained.

Reward - 2250cR

Flat Tire - Kill 10 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking.

I hate this challenge.  So does everyone else, more or less.  Since Bungie changed the playlists and how enemies spawn in Firefight mode, vehicle kills have become increasingly rare.  Score Attack is your best bet and you will want to try for Sniper Attack on Holdout.  This map can spawn up to four or five Banshees if you make the game extend all the way to the end.

I have tried other gametypes on this map, such as 2X Score Attack and for some reason, whenever I kill a Banshee, it does not count.  I have no clue why, but I believe it has to do with the damage increase.  Eitherway, stick to Rocket Attack, FRG Attack, or Sniper Attack.  Good luck.

Reward - 1125

The Little Guys - Kill 200 Grunts in Campaign today on Normal or Harder.

We had this one recently.  Allow me to repeat if you will.  Typically, the shorter levels are better for these challenges; Winter Contingency and Nightfall.  Two-hundred kills is a large enough amount to warrant playing some of the longer missions.  Tip of the Spear and ONI: Sword Base are a good place to rack up the Grunt Kills.

A single play-through of Winter Contingency on Normal got me eighty-seven Grunt kills,  ONI: Sword Base brought in seventy, and Nightfall brought in eighty-two kills.  I do believe that on Heroic, those numbers are raised some but the Grunts are much easier to kill on Normal.

Reward - 1500cR

Legendary Friends - Complete and Campaign mission on Legendary in co-op mode.

You will be tempted to try the Weekly LASO challenge on Co-Op today because of this challenge.  Do not do it.  The mission is already hard enough on Solo and enemies scale on up for multiple players.  Yes, teammates make the Iron Skull less of a pain, but you will still die a lot and it will take longer than doing it solo.

Instead, do Winter Contingency.  It can be done twenty minutes.  Look here for how to run through the level.  As well, if you do not have a friend to play with, simply turn on a second controller and run through the level.

Reward - 2500cR
