The Challenges:Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1100cR
The challenges today will take a lot of time. "Be Their Huckleberry" and "Home Field Advantage" will be the big time wasters. This challenge, however, will be done in a single game hopefully. A hundred and twenty kills is about average for what you should get in a single Firefight games in the Score Attack playlist. You might end up one or two kills short, but you need to play at least two games anyway for more kills. How you will be attaining those kills, however, is for the next challenge.

Be Their Huckleberry - Kill 200 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the pistol. - 1500cR
Two-hundred pistol kills is a lot of kills, have no doubt about it. Your best option for this is Gruntpocalypse in the Score Attack playlist. You want a medium sized to small map. Pick a large map and you may not get all the kills before time expires. Most Grunts you can headshot with the pistol immediately for the kill. The Ultras will be wearing a helmet with you must first dislodge and then headshot. Remember that you do not carry a lot of pistol ammo (forty-eight shots total), so staying near an ammo case is probably a good idea.

Just a Shower - Complete any Campaign mission on Normal or harder with Thunderstorm on. - 2000cR
My instinct for this challenge would be to say "Do the Weekly Challenge and get both done at the same time!" However, due to how much time "Home Field Advantage" will take, if you have yet to complete the Weekly and do not have the whole day to do it, do not try for it today. You do not have enough time if you want to complete all the daily challenges. Instead, run through Nightfall on Heroic with Thunderstorm on. Use this LASO Guide to see how to run through the level. Video can be seen here.


Home Field Advantage - Win 7 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2050cR
I was hoping that we had finally moved away from these challenges during weekdays, but it seems that I was mistaken. Seven kills is a lot to hope for in a single night, but do what you can to put the odds in your favor. Chose gametypes with two teams. Any more than that hurts your chances. If you seem to be doing well killing today, go for Slayer gametypes. If not, try for Objective. Unless you find a playlist you excel at, mix it up and try different stuff. If you have very good teammates one game, try to stick with them get some wins. As well, talk to people, but do not be annoying. That will push people away. Important life lesson there too.
