Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 4/24/11

The Challenges:

Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight matchmaking. - 1100cR

This should get done in a single game of Firefight.  You will be playing two, however, if you plan on going for the "Flat Tire" challenge.  This might actually take two games if some Covies accidentally kill themselves.

Cannon Fodder - Kill 100 infantry-class foes in Campaign today. - 1250cR

This can be done on many levels, but Tip of the Spear will probably get it done.  Infantry is a dubious moniker.  I am assuming that this does not correspond enemy leaders (i.e. Elites and specialist enemies.)  Have a level that is great for this challenge?  Tell us below!

Flat Tire - Kill 5 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1000cR

This will be the most annoying challenge of the day.  Like usual, Sniper, Rocket, or FRG Attack on Holdout is your best chance if you make the game last as long as possible.  If you pick Rocket or FRG Attack, do note that you will have to jet-pack right in front of the Banshee and shoot it or it will avoid all your shots. 

Now, you can get five banshees in a single game, but that is very rare.  Three is the more likely number and what you should be aiming for every game.  That means this challenge will take two games of Firefight.  Aim for that and you should be fine.  Reader mat-tyk also indicated that killing a Brute on a turret counted as a vehicle kill.  Thanks for the heads up!

Iron Will - Complete a Campaign mission alone on Heroic or harder with the Iron Skull on. - 2500cR

Alone with the Iron skull on means that the mission will reset every time you die.  This can be an absolute pain and it is why I highly recommend running Nightfall for this challenge.  (See my Nightfall LASO guide.)  It takes five minutes and is easy as hell.  

You can also try to do this while going for the "Cannon Fodder" challenge, but I would recommend getting it done quickly on Nightfall and then getting your infantry-class kills.  As well, if you have yet to complete the Exodus: LASO challenge (today is the last day!), completing it today, alone, will net you this challenge.

Last day to beat Exodus on LASO difficulty.  See how here.
