Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 4/20/11

Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 1000cR
Between the two games of Firefight, the Campaign missions, and the seventeen games of multiplayer for today, this challenge should pop pretty early on.  Nothing to worry about here.  I would focus on everything else you have to do today.



Flat Tire - Kill 5 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1000cR
I hate this challenge, but typically it requires ten vehicle kills.  Five kills is much less aggravating.  You want to load up Score Attack and pick either FRG Attack, Rocket Attack, or Sniper Attack on Holdout.  One of those three.  The goal here is to make the game-timer expire.  Typically, lasting the whole game will spawn three Banshees.  On occasion, five have spawned and other times four, but three is the norm.  Expect this to take you two games.

Leadership Element - Kill 45 enemy leaders in the Campaign today. - 1100cR
ONI: Sword Base supplanted Long Night of Solace as my favorite a week and a half ago.  That level on Heroic yielded forty-two Elite kills.  You can die a few times on purpose, respawn at the checkpoints, and repeat a few Elite kills to reach the required number of forty-five.  Do not be afraid the try other missions as well.  If you see one that is not extremely long and matches the kill count of ONI: Sword Base, put it in the comments below.

The Love of the Game - Complete 17 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 1850cR
Wow.  Seventeen games.  On a weekday.  That is brutal.  The fastest games still tend to be Living Dead.  If you want them to go even faster, pick maps that do not have a lot of cover.  The faster the survivors die the quicker the game will be.  In fact, if you are a survivor, I would suggest letting the Infected get you and helping them kill off the rest of the survivors.  It makes the game that much quicker.  If you do not want to do Living Dead just stay away from large maps and objective gametypes.

  1. Beat this- I managed to lure a Brute into taking a turret on Holdout (Rocket Fight) and it counted as a vehicle kill.
    Love the site.

  2. I have done Long Night of Solace on Normal and start at Rally Point Bravo. Turn on Thunderstorm for good measure and just rip through the elites with the AR or pistol to have fun. You can go through this until you get to Jorge in about 10-15 min or less and get over 20-30 Elite kills. As soon as you kill that last Elite and Jorge speaks, just restart mission and go through again and it should be easy as pie to get it all done. You rock man, read the blog every day and it has been a life saver. Also another way to vehicle kills to have fun on Unearthed on Firefight Limited witht he missle Hog and take out the Wraiths and Ghosts. I had 4 Wraiths and 3 Ghosts on the one game alone. Yeah I know you die alot but just noting that.

    That is interesting, I never new that a turret would count as a vehicle. Something to take into consideration the next time this challenge pops up.

    @David
    That was the old method, though, you don't need thunderstorm, I think. All Elites seem to count as enemy leaders. I don't know why, but they do. Later, I need to do a run a see which level does end up getting you Elite kills the fastest.

    And thanks for the compliments!
