Halo Reach Daily and Weekly Challenges Guide - 11/14/11

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
Most of the challenges today are quite simple and will cause you very little trouble excluding deathless package which looks like it could definitely be a pain. However, fifty kills in multiplayer Matchmaking will definitely not be a pain since you already need to get some small arms kills today for the Weekly and you will also need to attempt to win five games for the "Five-Time Champ" challenge. Just another challenge that takes care of itself.

Sweep the Leg - Perform an Assassination in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
Luckily, you only need to perform a single Assassination for this challenge. Team Snipers has always been a good place for me to get at least one Assassination but this challenge is easily doable in most gametypes (short of Rocket Hog Race, that is). Simply get behind and opponent and hold the melee button to initiate the assassination animation. This can be interrupted and will not count towards the challenge if you are killed before it complete so pick you target wisely.

Five-time Champ - Win 5 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 4343cR
As always, winning games can be extremely tedious and even more so when you do not know the teammates you are playing with. This will, undoubtedly be a grinding challenge but, as usual, stick to gametypes in which there are two teams to raise your chances. As well, play with friends and take a break if you are not doing well, come back to it later in the day or evening and try to finish this challenge off.

Deathless Package - Complete The Package on Legendary without dying. - 4400cR
Now, like all of these "Deathless" challenges, you do not actually need to complete the level without dying, but you simply need to make the game think you did it without dying. This is, indeed, simpler than it sounds. First off, use this LASO guide to get through the level. Secondly, die as much as you want. This will make everything drastically simpler if you think with this ideology. Die as much as you want since it does not matter in the end. Now before opening up the path to Halsey's Lab, which is the final objective, if you did die, Save and Quit the game. If you did not die, complete the objective and you are done. Now, if you just Save and Quit, hit Resume Campaign to start off where you just saved. Now you should be able to complete the objective and the game will think that you did the whole thing without dying.

The Weekly Challenge:

Single Wield - Earn 200 kills with small arms weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 20343cR
This is actually not as annoying as it seems. You will need to get two-hundred kills with small arms weapons over the next two weeks to satisfy this challenge which comes out two thirty kills a day. Now, small arms weapons include the Magnum Pistol, the Plasma Pistol, and the Needler. The Needler and Magnum are the weapons you are most likely to get kills with as the Plasma Pistol is not exactly the best option in Multiplayer. Now, I would stick to Multi Team for this challenge, or Team SWAT Magnums if you can get that extremely elusive playlist to pop up. Either way, remember that you want to hit thirty kills a day and in a week that should bring you to about two-hundred and ten kills, just more than you need for the challenge.
