Halo Reach Daily and Weekly Challenges Guide - 12/19/11

Please subscribe above this and/or follow me on twitter! Have any ideas or comments about the challenges? Post them down below! As a note, I am no longer writing on Examiner.com due to a lack of time.

The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
You will be going for a hundred and fifty kills in Firefight Matchmaking on the map Holdout anyway, so that pretty much takes care of this challenge. Besides that, there is not much to say. You might get this in your first game, but you are also likely to fall just short. Either way, you will be playing another game on the map.

Helping Hand - Earn 10 assists today in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2000cR
To register an assist, you need to deal forty percent damage to and enemy and then have someone else score the kill. That person does not need to be on your team, but also cannot be on your opponents team. I am unaware of any time-limit on this, but once the opponent regains health and shields, you will likely no longer get an assist. It also seems like you need to do more than forty percent damage, so try and get the target down as much as you can. Multi Team is a great playlist for this since it is an extremely target rich environment and there are a bunch of people ready to steal your kill and award you an assist. Works out perfectly.

Cannon Fodder - Kill 100 infantry-class foes in the Campaign today. - 1250cR
In campaign, this basically means Grunts and, I believe Brutes. Skirmishers and Jackals count as specialists and Elites are leaders. Now, the easiest way to get this challenge is done is to just start playing through the campaign from Winter Contingency onwards until you hit a hundred infantry kills. You should have it done sometime during ONI: Swordbase. I would also play on Heroic to make sure you are getting the most kills possible.

Heroic Holdout - Kill 150 enemies on Holdout on Heroic in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1125cR
This will require two games of Firefight Matchmaking on the Holdout map unless you are lucky enough to play Firefight Doubles and get the map. Now, the first game should be something like Gruntpocalypse or 2X Score Attack since those ones go the fastest and typically get you the most kills. For the second game, you can either play a full game or, if you are lucky enough, you can play a game of Crashsite and just get the remaining kills. Afterwards, you can either die or let the generator explode to end the game.

The Weekly Challenge:

Endure: The Return - Complete four sets on any Firefight map in co-op play on Heroic or harder. - 30000cR
This is a really easy challenge that is not much of a challenge at all to be honest. You need to complete four consecutive sets in a Firefight game. This will need to be in a custom Firefight game since no game of Firefight Matchmaking will have four sets and much less have you surviving all of them. You will also need someone to play with you. You can either get a friend online, get a friend at your house, or just have an extra controller sit there for the additional player.

Now, since this is not in Matchmaking, you can set the gametype settings to whatever you want. I would suggest Invincibility, Unlimited Ammunition, Unlimited Armor Abilities, and fooling around with the makeup of the various waves. A ton of gametypes are present in Fileshares that already have this done for you. Click here for one such gametype which I know works fairly well. This will honestly not take a long time, especially on Heroic, and make sure you pick a small map, like Corvette.
