Halo Reach Daily and Weekly Challenges Guide - 8/8/11

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

The Challenges:
Gunslinger - Kill 40 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 1000cR
Multi Team or Grifball is your best option to quickly score forty kills. For Multi Team, objective games like Crazy King or Three Ball tend to generate the most kills. If you want to score a lot of kills, do not go for the objective per se. Go for the other players going for the objective because they will likely not be paying attention to you. That makes them very easy targets. Grifball is also good for hitting kills fast as your expected life-span in the gametype cannot be more than fifteen seconds.

Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 1000cR
For the first time in a while, the other daily challenges do not add up to, or surpass, the generic "get this many kills" challenge. However, you are saved by the Weekly Challenge. The other daily challenges will get you to about a hundred and forty kills. Just playing one more game of Firefight Arcade should do enough to push you over a hundred and eighty kills for the day. You might also need two game to complete "Heroic Overwatch" so that might take care of it too.

Heroic Overwatch - Kill 100 enemies on Overlook on Heroic in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1350cR
You basically have two options for this challenge. You can play a game of Score Attack on Overlook just to complete it or you can play Firefight Arcade and hope that the other three teammates of yours like this map as well. The Score Attack method will be much faster, but going into Firefight Arcade will net you some serious progress on the Weekly Challenge. The only other issue is if you fall under a hundred kill in Firefight Arcade on the map. Then you will have to play it one more time.

Double Double - Earn 2 Double Kills in the same match in Multiplayer Matchmaking. - 1200cR
This challenge will be taken care of when the player is doing the "Gunslinger" challenge in either Multi Team or Grifball. Earning two Double Kills is exceedingly easy and it consists of twice getting two kills within about four seconds of each other. If this is not getting done for you, focus more on killing and less on the objectives.

The Weekly Challenge:
Ride the Wave - Complete 150 Waves in Firefight Matchmaking. - 12000cR
It seems that, instead of being inventive with these challenges, 343i is simply content to regurgitate challenges that we have already seen. It is not too surprising, but one can hope right? Well, this challenge is by far one of the easier weekly challenges. This challenge will require you to, at least, complete a whopping ten games of Firefight Arcade over the next week. Every game of Firefight Arcade, if completed, consists of sixteen wave (this includes the bonus round which counts as a wave.) A game like Score Attack only consists of five waves, so it is smarter to play Firefight Arcade. A person could actually get this challenge done in a single day but most likely you will have it done by the weekend. Good luck with this exceedingly difficult challenge /sarcasm.
