Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 7/19/11

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

The Challenges: 
One Spartan Army - Kill 150 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1125cR
Since you should be aiming to complete eleven rounds of Firefight Matchmaking today, you should not even need to worry about this challenge. This challenge should be completed in about two games unless you are idling or something. Helpful tip, do not idle in Firefight games because that will earn you a spanking from the Ban Hammer!

Survivor - Earn 7 Sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game. - 1000cR
It used to be that Weapons Sprees counted towards this challenge. Well, that is not true any longer. All of these need to be Killing Sprees. Now, if you survive an entire game of Gruntpocalypse, you will only net six sprees (one at ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, and a hundred kills each). Clearly, you will have to die once to get this challenge done. I am actually going to suggest that you play Firefight Arcade for this challenge. This will at least allow you to make some progress on the Weekly Challenge, and you will have a high chance of dying due to the increased difficulty in the later levels.

Pod Kettle Black - Kill 20 Elite Drop Pods in The Long Night of Solace. - 1200cR
I believe we had this challenge about two weeks ago. It is not at all hard but you just have to know where to go. Load up Long Night of Solace Rally Point Alpha. This should put you in the Sabre. Play through until you are attacking the Corvette. If you go underneath the Corvette, Drop Pods will be getting shot towards Reach. They are very fast and hard to hit, but you can shoot the pods and destroy them. Kill twenty of them, which will take a little while, and then the challenge is done.

Cook 'em, Clean 'em! - Kill 15 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking while you're jet-packing. - 1800cR
Team Slayer is probably your best option for this challenge as it is one of the playlists that typically has the Jet-pack as an armor ability. You can also try Action Sack and aim for Splockets or Dino Blasters. Remember, the armor ability must be activated when the kill is achieved, not while you are falling. You only need fifteen kills while jet-packing throughout the day, not in a single game, so this is doable in two to three games.

  1. hey last time they asked for the 7 sprees in one game i played either score attack or 2x score attack on unearthed and did well by staying in the room you start in since everything comes to you. i got a bunch of killing sprees and near the end i cleared out the room because when i died i loaded up the shotgun weapon choice. i got a shotgun spree and my final killing spree and the shotgun spree counted definitely once if not twice out of the 7 sprees. this surprised me since you stated it didn't count anymore. maybe this is for snipers only? but i definitely got it and if nothing else, suggest score attack on unearthed for furute spree challenges. give it a shot yourself, you really rack up the kills by just camping in the room and waiting at the top of the stairs and near the door, all angles covered besides the occasional skirmisher who jumps through the windows behind you. THANKS.
