The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 150 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2250cR
Typically, a single game of Score Attack will net you about a hundred and twenty kills. Clearly, this will put you just short of a hundred and fifty, so we will need to play two games. I know some would say play Firefight Arcade or Doubles, but that will make it much harder to get the "Blast Radius" challenge completed. Got for games like 2X Score Attack or Gruntpocalypse and stick to small maps.

Now I have a Machine Gun - Earn 100 kills with automatic weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 1500cR
Killing a hundred enemies in multiplayer it typically not a chore. However, when you have to use automatic weapons, it really can be. Automatic weapons include the Automatic Rifle, the Needle, the Plasma Rifle, and the Plasma Repeater. Strangely enough, turrets do not count as automatic weapons. So, Multi Team is probably one of the best playlists for this challenge as you typically always start with an automatic weapon and there is so much damage being spread around that snagging kills is easier than it seem. Typically, you might get about ten to fifteen kills a game, which means expect this challenge to take eight to ten games.

Blast Radius - Kill 40 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with grenades. - 1000cR
Load up Score Attack, and then go for 2X Score Attack. Since damage is increased, this also increases the power of grenades for you to slaughter Covenant with. Forty kills in a game might be slightly pushing it, though it is doable. However, you will be playing a second game for the "One Spartan Army" challenge anyway, so I would not worry if I fell just short of forty grenade kills. Try to place grenades in bottlenecks like stairways and such and you should rack up the kills. Courtyard is a great map for this.

Deathless Alexandria - Complete Alexandria on Legendary without dying. - 2100cR
This will be the one trying achievement for the day. However, this challenge does not require any skulls, and New Alexandria is really one of the easier levels since you can just run by most of the enemies. Follow this LASO guide for tips and trick to get past certain areas. As well, you can die as much as you want. The trick is that once you get to the last objective, which will be landing at the ONI building, Save and Quit the game. Then, hit Resume campaign, reload, and complete the last objective without dying (Remember, all you have to do it land!). The mission will complete and you get credit for beating the entire thing, without dying.
