The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
This is a relatively simple challenge and takes relatively little time. A hundred and twenty kills is what you would typically hit in a single game of Firefight in the Score Attack playlists. You might actually fall a little short so you can expect this challenge to require to games. For the first game, I would play Gruntpocalypse or 2X Score Attack. These will both allow you to get a lot of kills quite quickly. For the second game, you will likely need a very low amount of kills. You can play another full game if you feel like it, or you can play a game of Crashsite to get the needed kills and then die or let the generator explode.

Helping Hand - Earn 10 assists today in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2000cR
From what the players were told by Bungie before they handed the game over to 343 Industries, you are awarded an assist when you take down at least forty percent of a enemies shields and health. You will need to do this ten times today to get this challenge completed. Multi Team is always a great place for assists as they come regularly. I am not going to suggest just going for challenges since you will need to focus on the "Single Wield" challenge, but I am willing to bet that attempting the small arms challenge will inadvertently give you a lot of assists.

Single Wield - Earn 77 kills with small arms weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2800cR
So small arms include the Magnum, the Needle, the Plasma Pistol, and that is it. I'm pretty sure the Plasma Rifle and Repeater do not count towards this challenge though, of the two, the Plasma Rifle might. Seventy-seven kills will take quite a while and will most likely take about eight to ten games. You will likely need to focus on using just small arms weapons. This will probably be at the cost of doing very well during the matches, but it will help you get the challenge done faster.

Storm's Comin' - Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic or harder with Mythic and Thunderstorm on. - 3500cR
Easiest level for this challenge is Nightfall, as you can run through the entire level and you do not have to actually fight hardly any Covenant. Follow this LASO guide for the route. It takes about five to seven minutes to run through the level and get this challenge completed. Mythic and Thunderstorm effect the enemy difficulty so Nightfall is ideal due to the lack of combat from running through.
