The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1100cR
So it is a Firefight Thursday to kick off September. Short of this challenge, all the challenges today are asking you to kill enemies with particular weapons. With those challenges, you will go well over the number of a hundred and twenty kills. This will be done in the first game, if you are able to secure every single kill, but it will likely take a second game to get those last few kills.

Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 150 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1125cR
This challenge will take the longest but it is not at all difficult. Headshots can be had by the Sniper Rifle, DMR, or the Needle Rifle. My advice is to get what headshots you can while working on the "J.H. Death Machine" and "Katanarama" challenges. Afterwards, go for Gruntpocalypse and exclusively use the DMR to score headshots on the Grunts. You will be able to headshot every Grunt in that game though that probably will not happen because some shots will just miss and other grunts will end up killing themselves. Either way, be aware of the fact that this will probably take two to three games to complete.

J.H. Death Machine - Kill 70 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the Grenade Launcher. - 1250cR
2X Score Attack looks like it will be best for this challenge. The Grenade Launcher is an interesting weapon, to say the least. Some of its down falls are its poor aim, lack or range, and the low ammo count. This is a good reason to play 2X Score Attack as you have more killing power with every weapon. Try for a small map like Courtyard or Corvette and you should have no problem hitting your seventy kills if you aim for the enemies as they spawn. Remember to stay near the ammo crates since you will need ammo constantly.

Katanarama - Kill 5 enemies using the Energy Sword in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1500cR
This challenge is another good reason to play 2X Score Attack. In the final wave you will get all Elites. About five of them will constantly use Swords and invisibility when attacking you. Grab one of their swords and then you simply need to kills five Elites with it. In Score Attack, this is the only way to get sword kills. Now, if you decide to play Firefight Arcade or Doubles, you can just grab a Sword from the last wave of a round and carry it into the next one.
