Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 4/23/11

Please follow the blog and/or follow me on twitter!  Have any ideas or comments about the challenges?  Post them down below!

The Challenges:

Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 1000cR

Not a hard number to reach for the day.  If you run through Nightfall for the "Just a Shower" challenge, then the other challenges will not get you to a hundred kills.  Sad, but true.  If need be, load up a game of Firefight, Grifball, or Campaign and get those last kills you need.  Or, you can just keep playing as you normally do and enjoy the weekend.

Pass the Rock - Earn 20 assists today in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 1500cR

Now it has been a while since we saw this one.  I seriously hope it is not still messed up like it was the first time this challenge came down the pipe.  (Only assists before your first death in the game would count.)  Anyway, there are several options for those going for assists nowadays.

Multi Team is probably the best.  You have nine different people you can damage, and there are eight different players who can finish a target off and get you an assists.  You do not need to communicate too much, but you do need to go to the high traffic areas.  If you are willing to communicate with your team and stay near them, then this challenge is super-easy.  Just suppress that instinct to go in for the kill.

Not as Clumsy or Random... - Earn 5 kills with precision weapons in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 1000cR

This is another very easy challenge and can be done in virtually any playlist, ignoring Grifball of course.  You do not need to play SWAT or Snipers just for this challenge.  You should be able to get it while going for "Pass the Rock."  Pick maps where you know the DMR spawns or pick games with DMR starts (there are no DMR starts in Multi Team).  Grind out those five kills and then go back to Assist hunting.

Just a Shower - Complete any Campaign mission on Normal or harder with Thunderstorm on. - 2000cR

This one is not particularly hard, you just have to pick the right level.  Nightfall is the fastest, by a mile (See the LASO guide for how to run through the level in five minutes.).  Since this only needs to be done on Normal, however, you can probably just do a mission you enjoy and polish it off pretty fast.  As well, if you have yet to complete the Exodus: LASO challenge for the week, doing it today will net you this challenge as well.

Only two days left to beat Exodus on LASO difficulty.  See how here.
