Halo Reach Daily and Weekly Challenges Guide - 10/31/11

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

The Challenges:
More than a Handful - Kill 125 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2500cR
The one other multiplayer challenge today will not get you this one. You will need to play quite a few extra game outside of this the one for the "Headshot Honcho" challenge. Grifball and Multi Team are two great playlists for racking up kills quick but if you have another playlist that you do well in, by all means, play in that one instead. You can of course complete this challenge in a multitude of playlists depending on your skill, but that will be on an individual basis. A hundred and twenty-five kills is not a whole lot, however, and should take only about seven or eight games to reach.

Eyes in the Sky - Kill 20 enemies with the Designator in ONI on Heroic. - 1250cR
Load up ONI: Swordbase Rally Point Bravo, which should be just before reaching the garage to re-enter the base. The Target Designator will still be there and you can use it on the enemies coming down the ramp. Now, this will at most get you eight to twelve kills. Fire it again to get any remaining enemies, but then you will need to Reload last Checkpoint to get the remaining kills you need since there will be no other opportunities to use the Designator on the number of enemies that you would need to complete the challenge. Reload and complete the same plan again and you should hit twenty easily.

A Simple Spree - Earn any spree in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2000cR
Now, you will not be able to do this with the Weekly Challenge since this will need to be online and the Weekly will need to be done outside of Matchmaking. A Spree in Firefight is ten kills uninterrupted by death. This should be exceedingly easy to get. My advice to you is to load up a game of Crashsite in the Score Attack playlist. Once the game has started, get a single Spree to complete the challenge. Afterwards, you can either die or let the generator explode to end the game and collect your credits.

Headshot Honcho - Kill 9 enemies with headshots in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2160cR
This is the second easiest challenge of the day ("A Simple Spree" wins the "Easiest Challenge") and should be completed in a single game. My recommendation is to play Team SWAT, though Team Snipers will likely get this done too. SWAT starts you with a headshot capable weapons, the DMR, and no one has shields which makes everyone a one-shot headshot kill. Nine is a pretty modest number to hit and is extremely doable in a single game. Have at it.

The Weekly Challenge:

Endure: The Return - Complete four sets on any Firefight map in co-op play on Heroic or harder. - 30000cR
This is actually an extremely easy Weekly Challenge. Co-Op means that there must be at least two players but since you will need to complete four sets, this must be a custom Firefight match. Since this is a custom Firefight match, you can make it extremely easy even if it is on Heroic. Either setup your own game with invincibility, unlimited ammunition, and unlimited armor abilities or download this one. If you do not have a friend to play with, simply turn on another controller. Now, this will be easier with additional players, as you will be putting out a lot more damage, so I would at least try to find one more person to play with. Expect this method to take about thirty minutes which is not at all bad for thirty-thousand credits. Now remember, you can also do this legitimately, but four sets means that a lot of Skulls are active and that it will also be a very long game as well. Good luck with whatever method you choose.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 10/30/11

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

The Challenges:
Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 3000cR
This is easily covered by the challenges today. Completing four games of Multiplayer for the "Participation Counts" challenge will yield a decent number of kills, likely forty or so. "L.D. Package" might actually take care of this challenge itself depending on how you play the level. You are also being required to kill fifty Elites in Campaign which is half of this challenge. All in all, this one will be handled by the other challenges today. This will also be covered if you finish the Weekly Challenge today as this is your last chance.

Participation Counts - Complete 4 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2400cR
Just completing four games is easy as pie. Well, pie actually is not that easy to make. Lots of things can go wrong. Lots of mixing and baking are likely involved, even... Sorry, I went off on a tangent there. Anyway, you need to complete four games for this challenge and you can stick to fast gametypes like Living Dead or Grifball, or you can just have some fun. Remember that you do have a rather long Campaign challenge in "L.D. Package" and the Weekly if you have yet to complete it.

L.D. Package - Complete The Package, without dying, on Legendary with Mythic, Thunderstorm, Tilt, and Tough Luck on. - 5000cR
This will no doubt be a strenuous challenge since this is one of the longer level in the game. However, do take note that you can die during this challenge. You will simply need to Save and Quit before completing the last objective which will be hitting the button to enter Halsey's Lab. The hit resume Campaign, load up the game, hit the switch, and the challenge is yours. Now, to get to that point follow The Package LASO Guide here. This will show you shortcuts, tricks, and strategies to make this a lot easier. And, remember, your Noble teammates have infinite health. Let them tank.

Return of the Mack - Kill 50 Elites in Campaign today on Normal or harder. - 1700cR
A large chunk of this challenge is likely covered by the "L.D. Package" challenge if you get some shots on most of the Elites during the "Firefight" portion of the level. If you still need kills, ONI: Swordbase and Long Night of Solace from Rally Point Bravo are great places to farm Elite kills. If time is of the essence, I would recommend using Long Night of Solace since you are likely to get the kills faster.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 10/29/11

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

The Challenges:
Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
A hundred and eighty kills will be very easy to come by today thanks to the "Who's the Big Winner" challenge. You need to win twelve games which mean that you will likely be playing a good chunk more than twelve games. As well, if you are winning those games you will likely be putting up fifteen to twenty kills which should speed you past a hundred and eighty kills before you even hit twelve wins. In short, do not worry about this challenge as it will take care of itself. Just focus on winning.

Storm's Comin' - Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic or harder with Mythic and Thunderstorm on. - 3500cR
If you have yet to complete the Weekly Challenge, completing it today will also net you this challenge and a decent handful of extra credits. If you have already completed the Weekly Challenge, then the fastest way to get this done is to play the mission Nightfall on Heroic with the Mythic and Thunderstorm Skulls on and to simply run through the entire level. Follow the LASO guide to see the path you will need to run to survive. This should take you no longer than five minutes which is a very short time for this nice handful of credits.

Three Dog Fight - Earn a Triple Kill in Multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2000cR
Thanks to the miracle of the permanent Grifball playlist, this is hardly even a challenge anymore. Load up the playlist and simply hammer away. A Triple Kill will be score when you kills three opponents each within four seconds of each other. You really do not need to spawn camp for this, so please do not. That just makes the game horrible for everyone. You can also score a Triple Kill in virtually any other playlist but it will definitely be more difficult. Good luck.

Who's the Big Winner? - Win 12 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 10000cR
This is really the defining challenge of the day. Yet, as well, this is also the largest Daily Challenge payout in Halo Reach Challenge history. Ten thousand credits is nothing to bat an eye at and will likely make a dent in whatever rank you are grinding towards. However, this does require you to win twelve games which is a lengthy task that will likely aggravate you a lot. My main point of advice today is for you to play in small sessions. Do not try to win all twelve games in one sitting since that will likely drive you insane. Stick to gametypes you enjoy and try to find teammates who are good. Not much more advice to give than that.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 10/28/11

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

The Challenges:
Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 250 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 3800cR
The other challenges today will not get you to two hundred and fifty kills today. That is the simple fact of the matter. Instead, you will need to likely play a game or two of Firefight after completing everything else to make up the difference. You can likely play Crashsite in the Score Attack playlist for the final game and just get the minimum number of kills for the challenge. After that you can let the generator be destroyed or simply die to end the game and collect your credits. You can also likely rack up some kills doing the Weekly LASO challenge if you have yet to complete it.

Un, Deux, Trois - Win 3 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2900cR
Winning games for a challenge is typically a pain because you are so focused on making sure you win that you do not play how you normally would and likely lose the game. Do not focus on this challenge when playing. Of course you will know that a win will get you closer to some extra credits, but done press about it. As well, this will likely require to play more than the required five games for the "Credits for Completion" challenge but that is not too surprising since you will likely need some game time in the Living Dead playlist for the "Killing Frenzy" challenge.

Killing Frenzy - Earn a Killing Frenzy in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 4000cR
A Killing Frenzy, as we should all know at this point, is ten kills in a row without death or the start of a new round. The Living Dead is truly one of the best playlists for this challenge if you are a survivor; if you are a Zombie, it royally sucks. Anyway, this is also doable in other playlists but it quite difficult and also highly dependent on your teammates and opponents. So stick to Living Dead and pick levels like Boardwalk which have legitimate camping spots, unlike certain maps (cough, Swordbase, cough).

Credits for Completion - Complete 5 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 1250cR
Five games played is a very easy requirement for a challenge as you do not have to win the games, but just complete them. You will likely be playing this many games anyway for the "Un, Deux, Trois" challenge so this should come naturally. Nothing to be really concerned about.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 10/27/11

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

The Challenges:
Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 3000cR
A lot of easy challenges today with a few grinds but, overall, quite easy in the end. This challenge should be completed in your first game of Firefight. Not much else to it than that. Perhaps it would be a good day to get some work done on the Weekly LASO Challenge that is likely hanging over your head?


Take a Dip - Kill 150 enemies on Waterfront in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2500cR
This and the "More Like In Post" challenge are the same exact challenge but on different maps. Each one will take two games to achieve since the most you are likely to get in the Score Attack playlist is a hundred and twenty per game. Unfortunately, you will likely be stuck with whatever gametypes you find for these maps the first time around, but aim for Gruntpocalypse, 2X Score Attack, Rocket Attack, and Crashsite for the second go around so you can simply get the remaining kills you need.

More Like In Post - Kill 150 enemies on Outpost in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2500cR
See "Take a Dip."




Survivor - Earn 5 Sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
Five Sprees in Firefight will be very easy to do and should be done in your first game. You can do this two ways if you are having trouble. You can either get fifty kills in a row, without dying, or you can get five sets of ten kills in a row. You get a medal every ten kills up to fifty but you can keep stacking the medals if you die so you do not need to be too concerned about death. Should be done in a single game.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 10/26/11

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

The Challenges:
Fire When Ready - Kill 50 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 3000cR
Fifty kills will be very easy to hit in multiplayer Matchmaking and, as long as you stick to the right playlists, you can get it done extremely fast. Grifball is easily the best option for this as you will be sticking to that playlist for the "Freelancing" challenge, most likely. You should be able to get this done in two, or even one, game of Grifball if the teams are evenly matched. Try not to spawn camp, however, because what goes around typically comes back around.

Weapon Swap - Earn 10 sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game on Heroic or harder. - 2000cR
If you plan to get this challenge done, it is unfortunate, but you will need to die. You will get a Spree medal for every ten kills but that will end after five medals. Once you get to fifty kills, you will need to die because the next Spree medal will come at a hundred kills. After that it comes at a thousand kills. That is clearly not happening in a single game of Firefight Matchmaking, so it will be necessary for you to die and start over the count to get another five Sprees.

The Little Guys - Kill 125 Grunts in Campaign today on Normal or harder. - 2000cR
We had this challenge, as well, on Monday and the same ideas apply for today: The best way to get this challenge done is to just play through the campaign from start until you get the challenge. I would personally recommend setting the difficulty to Heroic as it makes the game not quite a hard and also makes it so your AI teammates steal less of your kills. Remember that as long as you got some shots in on the Covie and then the AI teammates get the kill, you will still get credit for it. You can either keep replaying the first mission, Winter Contingency, or just keep playing through the campaign until it is complete. Will likely complete around the end of ONI: Swordbase and the start of Nightfall.

Freelancing - Earn at least 21 kills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2100cR
Twenty-one kills should be very easy to hit and your best chances are with Grifball. Multi Team is good as well if you can get an objective gametype, but Grifball is almost a guarantee. You should be able to get this done in a single game and this will definitely help you take care of the "Fire When Ready" challenge.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 10/25/11

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

The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
You can get this challenge done in a single game in the Firefight Matchmaking playlist if you stick to Score Attack. You will normally see about a hundred and twenty enemies per game and you can get all those kills if you are lucky and none commit suicide and take out their friends too. Regardless however, you will need to play a second game for the "Hyper Lethal Vector" challenge so this one will be finished off regardless.

Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 200 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3000cR
Gruntpocalypse in the Score Attack playlist will easily be your best bet for this challenge. You could make progress with 2X Score Attack or Sniper Attack, but Gruntpocalypse is simply so much easier to score headshots. Gruntpocalypse starts you with a DMR but ammunition is not unlimited so you will need to know where your ammo crates are. This challenge will take you to games to complete as you only face about a hundred and twenty enemies a game and you will likely not get headshots on all of them.

Pod Kettle Black - Kill 15 Elite Drop Pods in The Long Night of Solace. - 2343cR
For this challenge go to Campaign and load up Rally Point Alpha for the mission Long Night of Solace. This should start you flying. You need to advance through the first phase of the flying and reach the Corvette in the second phase. Every so often, Drop Pods will shoot out of the Corvette. You will need to destroy fifteen of these but they can be very trick. Try to hit them right after they come out because otherwise they are almost impossible to hit. As well, for me, the one screen challenge tracker is always delayed when updating the kills for these so do not be alarmed if the number seems off.

Vengeance Found - Earn your 'Revenge' in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
To earn a Revenge medal in multiplayer Matchmaking, you need to die and then quickly kill the person who killed you. You must kill that player before anyone else does or otherwise it will not count. For some reason, this can actually be very finicky, and there might even be a timer on it, but try to score the kill fast so as to heighten your chances of getting the medal. Any playlist should be good for this but try to pick maps you know so you can find your target quickly.

Halo Reach Daily and Weekly Challenges Guide - 10/24/11

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

The Challenges:
Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
A hundred a eighty enemies kills today should be very easy to achieve as "The Little Guys" challenge is already setting you up with a hundred and twenty-five kills and whatever kills you get in between. You will also be attempting to win five games in multiplayer Matchmaking, so that will set you up with a good number of kills as well. No need to really focus too hard on this challenge since it will basically complete itself.

The Little Guys - Kill 125 Grunts in Campaign today on Normal or harder. - 2000cR
The best way to get this challenge done is to just play through the campaign from start until you get the challenge. I would personally recommend setting the difficulty to Heroic as it makes the game not quite a hard and also makes it so your AI teammates steal less of your kills. Remember that as long as you got some shots in on the Covie and then the AI teammates get the kill, you will still get credit for it. You can either keep replaying the first mission, Winter Contingency, or just keep playing through the campaign until it is complete. Will likely complete around the end of ONI: Swordbase and the start of Nightfall.

Five-time Champ - Win 5 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 4343cR
Nice to see that 343 is still following Bungie's poorly planned Challenge schedule of having us play a lot of game on school/work day. It still does not make a ton of sense to me, but it is not like I can stop them. Here are some tips for winning games; Stick to playlists with only two teams. Start increasing the teams and you will start decreasing your chances of winning. Stick to gametype and maps that you know and enjoy. Every gametype plays a certain way and you do not often get used to new gametypes until after a few games Therefore stick to ones you already know. As well, stick to maps you already know so you do not have to "discover" weapon spawns the painful way. Finally, do not stress. Once you start gripping your controller really tight, you performance will suffer, believe me.

Killing Frenzy - Earn a Killing Frenzy in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 4000cR
A Killing Frenzy in multiplayer Matchmaking is ten kills without a death or a new round/game. Your best chance for this challenge is the Living Dead playlist. Try and pick the regular Zombies gametype as Alpha Zombies tends to be a shorter game and have less kills. I have, personally, always had success on Boardwalk, without being a dick and jumping up to the Flag pole. In fact, if you go up there, I'm that asshole who will team kill you to get you down and then do my best to block the way. Swordbase can also be a good map without constantly sitting in the air-duct on the lower level. You can just constantly run around the level and still score a lot of kills.

The Weekly Challenge:
Alexandria: LASO - Complete Alexandria, Legendary, All Skulls On (LASO). - 23430cR
As usual, LASO makes another return for a Weekly challenge as it does every week. New Alexander, however, sparing the Hospital section is one of the easier LASO levels. The Hospital Section actually can be very easy, but it is simply time consuming. Follow this LASO guide for tips and strategies. You will likely just need to set aside a single day this week to complete this challenge since we are likely to get other Campaign challenges which will ruin you save game. You will, likely, not need the Blind skull on, but check the challenge to make sure.

Honest Time

So, most likely, some people might have come here today and noticed the lack of a guide for today's achievements.  It's a funny story, but it basically boils down to, I forgot.  Went out early and this complete slipped my mind.  Sorry everyone.  The challenges were not too bad today, just some grinds, so you should have been OK, getting through them.  It wasn't anything we haven't seen before.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 10/22/11

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

The Challenges:
Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 3000cR
This should be easy enough to hit today and can all be taken care of in multiplayer Matchmaking. You need to be hitting that many kills because you should be keeping pace for the Weekly Challenge at least. I will suggest mixing it up today, but you will also at least be playing four games in multiplayer Matchmaking for the "Participation Counts" challenge and that should help you out as well. Once you are just going for kills, Grifball and Multi Team are both great options.

Came From Behind - Perform 2 Assassinations in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2200cR
Team Snipers has always, easily, been my favorite gametype to get assassinations on. The reason for this is because people tend to complete lose focus on watching themselves in this gametype and become much more observant of what is down their sights. This makes them very easy prey. Uncaged can be a good map but Pinnacle tends to have the best results. Stay away from very, very large maps like Hemorrhage since you will likely be spotted before you have a chance to flank your prey.

If It Bleeds... - Find and kill the Gold Range-class Elite in any Campaign mission on Normal or harder. - 5000cR
I do apologize, but I am just going to copy and paste this challenge description: So, we have done this a lot over the last five weeks or so (I think this is probably the third or fourth time we have had this challenge) and this is probably old hat for most of you now. The easiest level to take care of this on is ONI: Swordbase. Load up Rally Point Bravo on Heroic and head to the garage. If you are lucky, the Gold Ranger-class Elite (a.k.a. BoB) will be up the ramp and the to the left. Take him out as quickly as you can. If he is not there, continue on through the level until you get to the part that is the multiplayer level. The BoB may be at the bottom of the ramp above shotgun spawn. He will be very easy to assassinate if you take him from the side.

Participation Counts - Complete 4 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2400cR
This should be an easy one today. You are not required to win any games, but just complete four of them without quitting, getting kicked, or idling through the game. You will be going for kills anyway for the Weekly and "Light Fare" challenges so that makes this a lot easier to complete four games. Have at it.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 10/21/11

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

The Challenges:
More than a Handful - Kill 25 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2000cR
So we have three quite easy challenges today and then one actually impossible one. Good job, 343i. Now, this challenge falls under the easy category. You need to score twenty five kills in multiplayer Matchmaking. This can easily be done in a single game in any sort of objective game but it might take an extra game in a regular slayer playlist. Play whichever playlist you feel like playing today as pretty much anything will get this done (sparing Halo Ball and Rocket Hog Race). As well, remember that you need to be keeping on track for the Weekly Challenge where you will want to hit about a hundred kills a day.

Your Daily Dose - Complete all of the Daily Challenges for a given day. - 7777cR
So this challenge is actually impossible to complete. This is normally a Weekly Challenge, which is readily apparent by its emblem. People have already completed all the other three challenges and this one is not completing after that point. If the Daily Challenges were code in a program, this thing would have crashed or froze when attempting to process this challenge. This should be fixed later in the day. Please comment if it is or if you find a way to complete the challenge.

Better, Closer, Warmer - Earn at least 9 kills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2343cR
Nine kills should really be standard fare for most people nowadays in a single game. This is doable in a regular Slayer game, but if you find that you are having trouble, try to switch to an objective gametype. Since players will be focused on the objective more, they become much easier to kills. Grifball is always a good playlist for kills, as is Multi Team, if you are absolutely having trouble getting enough kills in a game.

Credits for Completion - Complete 6 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 1300cR
As simple as it sounds. You do not need to win six games, or any of them for that matter. You simply need to complete a game from start to finish. That means no idling, no quitting, no disconnecting, and no getting kicked. Those will not count as "completed" games. You will need to be getting kills for the Weekly Challenge so I would stick to whatever playlist you typically get a lot of kills in. Make life easier on yourself.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 10/20/11

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

The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
All the challenges today are actually quite easy. At most, I would expect them to take you about two games to complete. This challenge, besides another, is one of the reasons this will likely take two games. Typically, you will see about a hundred and twenty enemies in a single game of Score Attack. Now, you will likely not be able to kill all of those enemies because, inevitably, some will end up killing themselves. Therefore, a second game will be necessary to make up for those lost kills.

Katanarama - Kill 5 enemies using the Energy Sword in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1500cR
This challenge will require 2X Score Attack. Once you get to the final wave, you will be facing about twenty or so Elites. All of these Elites will be invisible and some will have swords instead of Plasma Rifles. You will need to take out the ones with Swords and then use those swords to rack up five kills. About as easy as it sounds. Now, sometimes there are no Elites with swords, but it seems like there is typically always one in my experience. If you do not hit five in your first game, you can play a second game to finish off the difference, since the challenge is not restricting this to a single game.

Weapon Swap - Earn 10 sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game on Heroic or harder. - 2000cR
So, this is the only challenge today that is restricted to a single game. I do not know why they continue to specify that it must be on Heroic or harder when we cannot actually control that. Now, you will need to die at least once to complete this challenge. While going for head shots you will get a spree every ten kills up to fifty. That will leave you with five sprees. The next spree medal will come at an additional fifty kills. That means that it will be necessary for you to die and then get another fifty kills which will add another five sprees to your total. That should put you at ten sprees and have the challenge completed.

Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 100 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2000cR
This is another good reason to play 2X Score Attack as you should be able to head shot practically everything in the game. Now, some things will be a pain to headshot, and that is understandable, so you may fall short of a hundred headshot kills in your first game. You can likely just load up another game and get this challenge done via all the Grunts that start every game except Skirmageddon.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 10/19/11

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

The Challenges:
More than a Handful - Kill 77 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 3500cR
You will likely be playing one game of Grifball for the "Oops! All Kills" challenge and that should bring in a nice hefty amount of kills. After that, I would personally recommend that you keep playing in that playlist for a lot of kills in a short span of time, but you can also hit up whatever playlist you enjoy and excel at. Multi Team is also very good for getting tons of kills. After you have hit the seventy-seven kills, remember that it is only twenty-three more kills to your possibly daily quota for the Weekly Challenge.

That Pink Mist - Kill 200 enemies with a Supercombine from the Needler or Needle Rifle in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3000cR
This challenge is not doable in Score Attack since the enemies typically just never have enough health to survive before the Supercombine occurs (I'm looking at you, Grunts!) and the enemies that do, have a way to deflect the Needles or kill you before you kill them. For this reason I would load up either Firefight Arcade or Doubles and try to pick gametypes like FRG Attack. FRG start you with a Fuel Rod Gun, but also a Needler which will have unlimited ammo. You will likely not get very many kills until the second round when Mythic is turned on but the later enemies of the first round should provide some kills. This will likely take two to three games. Please post if you can think of any other gametypes that start with the Needler or Needle Rifle and unlimited ammunition.

Clip It. Share It. - Make a clip from your Local files and upload it to your File Share. - 2500cR
You do not have to actually make a new clip to complete this challenge. The only thing you actually have to do is upload a clip to your File Share. In fact, it can be an entire game; you do not actually have to clip anything. For those of you who do not have any clips, select a recent game in Theater mode and then use the record button to make a short clip. Then, hit the "Start" button and go to the "File Browser." Select the clip you wish to upload, hit "X", and then upload it to your File Share.

Oops! All Kills - Earn 15 Multikills in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 3000cR
You can definitely complete this challenge in a single game by playing the Grifball playlist. That really is all there is to this challenge, just hit away in Grifball. Now, there were some apparent issue with the Weekly last week where it was not counting all your Multikills, but just the initial one. If that is the case today, you will need to just go for Multikills. This is still best done in Grifball however, you will just need to pace yourself. Please comment below if the challenge is working correctly.
