Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 12/20/11

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:
Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 150 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2250cR
This challenge should be taken care of by the rest of the Daily Challenges for today. You will be hitting about a hundred and twenty kills in a game of Firefight Matchmaking for the "J.H. Death Machine" challenge, another ten or so kills for the "Not as Clumsy or Random...", and then an additional thirty to forty kills for the "Points Pyramid" challenge. All in all, you should hit well above a hundred and fifty kills.

J.H. Death Machine - Kill 70 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the Grenade Launcher. - 1250cR
The best way to complete this challenge is to play some 2X Score Attack. One of the loadouts features the Grenade Launcher and that will be the one you are aiming for. Now, the Grenade Launcher can be a pain to use but if you can hit enemies in a group, you should be able to get multiple kills in a single shot. As well, you will need to be away of where you Ammunition Crates are as you do not carry a lot of ammo for this weapon. Should definitely be doable in a single game.

Points Pyramid - Score 100,000 points on any Campaign mission. - 3500cR
The best way to get this challenge is to load up the level New Alexandria and do some Banshee hunting. Video of this method can be seen here. Before starting the mission, add a bunch of skulls that will not affect you while you fly around. These include the Thunderstorm , Tough Luck, Catch, and Famine skulls. Set the difficulty to Heroic and then just go around killing Banshees and Phantoms the entire time. After you hit about eighty-thousand points, if you are still under ten minutes of play time you can likely Save and Quit the mission. You will receive a time bonus at the end which should put you over a hundred thousand.

Not as Clumsy or Random... - Earn 5 kills with precision weapons in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
Simply enter multiplayer Matchmaking and enter either the Team Snipers or Team SWAT playlists. Either one starts you with precision weapons and scoring five kills should be extremely easy. This can also, definitely, be done in other playlists but it is almost a sure-fire completion in these two. Should only take you a single game to complete.
