The Challenges:

More than a Handful - Kill 125 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2500cR
Once you have finished off the "Pass the Rock" challenge, you will probably need another eighty or so kills. To me, that sounds like a great time to load up Grifball and simply rack up the kills. Grifball can get you up to sixty kills, but be a bit more realistic and expect about thirty or so. This means expect about three games of Grifball to polish off this challenge.

Pass the Rock - Earn 20 assists today in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 1500cR
As usual, Multi Team is the playlists to get assists in. You assist-kill ratio is something to consider when you also look at the "More than a Handful" challenge but you should be able to rack up about six to eight assists a game in Multi Team. Caution though, do not pick Rocket Hog Race. You will get nothing out of it for your challenge completion. Stick to either slay or, even more preferably, any sort of objective game like Crazy King.

There Are Many Like... - Kill 100 enemies with precision weapons in the Campaign today. - 1000cR
So precision weapons are DMRs, Snipers, Needle Rifles, and Focus Beam Rifles. Nightfall has a lot of these and so does Tip of the Spear. Playing those two missions regularly, in succession, should be enough to hit a hundred kills with precision weapons if one is not enough. The bulk of you kills should be on Nightfall and the remainder should be mopped up on Tip of the Spear.

A Satisfied Thirst - Kill 100 Grunts in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1000cR
A single game of Gruntpocalypse will be the best way to get this challenge. Load up Score Attack and pick a small map like Courtyard, if you have the chance, to speed the game along. There are typically a hundred and twenty enemies in Gruntpocalypse so as long as you finish before the timer expires you should have all the kills you need.


The Weekly Challenge:

Not in the Face - Complete any Campaign mission on Heroic in 15 minutes with Black Eye on. - 9000cR
This Weekly Challenge is insanely easy. The recommended way to complete this challenge is a really simple speed run through of Nightfall. See how to do the speed run here! Set the difficulty to Heroic and turn on the Black Eye Skull and any other skulls you want on. That is entirely up to you. After that, run through the mission and you are done. Nine-thousand credits in five to six minutes and you barely even had to break a sweat.
