Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 1/1/12 - Welcome to 2012

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 will easily be taken care of by the other challenges today, which has not always been the case recently. However, you will be playing through the level "The Pillar of Autumn" and you will be scoring a hundred and twenty-five kills in campaign today. To me, it looks like this one is all covered. What do you think? Anyway, focus on the other challenges today as they will take a lot more effort.

Cook 'em, Clean 'em! - Kill 5 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking while you're jet-packing. - 1000cR
The best way to complete this challenge is going to be in a playlist like Multi Team. A lot of the various gametypes have a loadout with the jet-pack and you will need to score five kills over the entire day while using it. Now, to have a kill count for this challenge, you need to actually be using the jetpack when the kills happens. That means that you need to be holding the Armor Abilities button and it cannot be depleted. Kills will not count when you are falling. Hopefully, you can get these five done in a single game if you try for them. Otherwise, expect multiple games.

L.D. Pillar - Complete The Pillar of Autumn, without dying, with Mythic, Thunderstorm, Tilt, and Touch Luck on. - 5000cR
This will be a pain since the Pillar of Autumn is one of the longer missions in Halo Reach. However, this does not seem to be one of the "and do not die" challenges. Nothing stipulates what difficulty level the game should be on either. You can tentatively complete this challenge on Normal. Load up the game on Normal with all the Skull and see if the challenge is active. If it is, then play through it on Normal. Follow the LASO guide if you need tips for any sections.

The Little Guys - Kill 125 Grunts in Campaign today on Normal or harder. - 2000cR
You should, hopefully, get a chunk of this done while working on the "L.D. Pillar" challenge on The Pillar of Autumn level. You will likely be short, however. I would go back and play Winter Contingency after completing The Pillar of Autumn and just go for every possible Grunt kill. There are even times when there will be a large cluster of Grunts, such as when you arrive at the communications relay. It would not be a bad idea to die here or reload a checkpoint to play that section twice to grind out some kills. If you are still short, continue on to ONI: Swordbase and you should be all set.
