Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 4/5/11

Please subscribe above this and/or follow me on twitter!

The Challenges:
Covenant-Cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking.
Regardless of this challenge, you will be playing at least two games of Firefight because of the "Be Their Huckleberry" challenge.  Gruntpocalypse typically goes the fastest, along with 2X Score Attack but, remember, you need Pistol kills.  Those will be irritating to get So, Gruntpocalypse is really the best option.  But really, any gametype will do if you are only going for this challenge.
Reward - 1100cR

Be Their Huckleberry - Kill 200 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the pistol.
I will say this for you several times.  Gruntpocalypse, Gruntpocalypse, Gruntpocalypse.  Almost all the targets (Damn you Ultra Grunts!) will be one shot kills.  The really issue here is what map you end up playing on.

Since you are using a pistol, your power is limited.  You only have eight shots before a reload and on a smaller map that can spell doom.  Also, on a smaller map Grunts will throw a lot more grenades since they will get in range of you faster.  If you are at all skilled at making Grunts mess up those throws, you will see a large number of Grunts killed by friendly fire or their own grenade.
Reward - 1500cR

Iron Will - Complete a Campaign mission alone on Heroic or harder with the Iron Skull on.
Essentially, this is completing a mission Solo, on Heroic, without dying but remember to put the Iron Skull on.  Without it, the playthrough would not count. You can do whatever mission you like, sparing some of the later mission.  The fastest mission would be Nightfall.  You can see how to run through it here.

As well, if you do die, it will say that you failed the challenge.  If you are hoping to get it legitimately, you will have to exit out and reload the map.  An easier way to get it is to play through the entire mission.  Die as much as you want and save before the end of the mission.  Once you reload the Challenge will no longer be failed and you can finish the game from the final checkpoint for full credit.
Reward - 2500cR


Put Your Quarter Up - Complete 15 games in multiplayer Matchmaking.
We had this one last week.  I had mentioned that SWAT was the best but I completely forgot to mention the Living Dead playlist.  Living Dead games can go really fast, but there are several maps that are very conducive to helping Survivors camp and survive.  Namely Pinnacle, Boardwalk, and Sword Base.  If you want fast games, try to avoid these maps.
Reward - 1750cR
