The Challenges:

One Spartan Army - Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking.

You just need a single game of Firefight.  Nothing to sweat here.  If you just want a quick and simple game, head to Score Attack and pick 2X Score Attack or Gruntpocalypse.  Those will also be a great place to work on the Blast Radius challenge.

Reward - 1000cR

Return of the Mack - Kill 50 Elites in Campaign Today on Normal or harder.

Now, my favorite for this is still Long Night of Solace.  But, I am sure that many of you are extremely tired of that mission now, however.  I have found a new favorite mission for Elites kills, ONI: Sword Base.  I must say that I used to not like this mission.  I don't know why, but perhaps I just hated having Kat as a teammate.  Who knows?  But, on a playthrough today, I racked up forty-two Elite kills.  Now, that blows pretty much any other level out of the water.  Hell, you can even die a few times on purpose just to hit that fifty mark.  So, ONI: Sword Base on Heroic.  A whole bunch of Elites.

Reward - 1700cR

Blast Radius - Kill 40 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with grenades.

This challenge has been popping up quite a bit recently.  By now, you should know the drill.  Head to Score Attack and go for Gruntpocalypse.  I am a little partial to 2X Score Attack for this, but Gruntpocalypse is easier, overall.  Do not be afraid to die just to get a new set of grenades.  Other than that, pick a small map, like Courtyard, and frag away.

Reward - 1000cR

Go Right Ahead Folks - Earn a First Strike in a multiplayer Matchmaking game.

A first strike means that you recorded the first kill of a round.  That is right, not the first kills of a match, but of a round.  And due to that fact, I am recommending that you player Living Dead for this challenge.  Three short rounds means three opportunities for you to earn a First Strike.

It is all about how quick on the trigger you can be and how fortunate the spawns are.  Countdown can net you a First Strike if you are very fast.  The Infected almost always spawn in view of the survivors and they almost always have the inane urge to jump down to the lowest level.  Pistol them and you have your medal.

Reward - 1000cR

Last day to complete Long Night of Solace on LASO for the weekly challenge.  See how to do it here.
