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.
