Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 1/29/12

Please subscribe above this and/or follow me on twitter! Have any ideas or comments about the challenges? Post them down below!

The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 150 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2250cR
This challenge will require you to play two games in Firefight Matchmaking. The first game can be whatever you want. Gruntpocalypse and 2X Score Attack on small maps will be the quickest and guarantee you the most kills. Sniper and Rocket Attack are good alternatives. For the second game, aim for Crashsite. Now, this is a gametype that is not seen too often but if you see it, jump on it as you can just die or let the generator explode to end the game. This saves you from having to play through an entire game once you already have the challenges completed.

Short, Controlled Bursts - Kill 200 enemies with automatic weapons in the Campaign today. - 3000cR
Since this is the longer and more difficult challenge, I would recommend that you do "Roast 'em, Toast 'em" first and then start this challenge. Two hundred kills with automatic weapons is something that you will need to really try for, as most kills in campaign tend to come with precision weapons in my experience. I would start on Winter Contingency on Normal or Heroic and just go for it. You do not actually have to score the killing shot on each enemy, but just put some rounds on them and then let your AI teammates finish off the kills which you will be getting credit for. This will likely take well into the level ONI: Swordbase so be prepared for some dedicated game time.

Roast 'em, Toast 'em - Kill 10 enemies while jet-packing in Exodus on Normal. - 2400cR
Easiest way to complete this challenge is to load up Exodus at Rally Point Bravo, which will start you right before you pick up the jet-pack. Ten kills is easy enough to achieve and should not give you any trouble as enemies are pretty forthright in showing up. First of all, you will need to be actively using the jet-pack armor ability when the kill occurs. You cannot be falling and you cannot be out of the armor ability. Grenades are actually great for this as you can throw them into a crowd of Covies and then hit the armor ability to have all those kills register as kills while jet-packing. It really is that easy.

This is My Rifle... - Earn 60 kills with precision weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2700cR
This should only take you a handful of games to complete as the you will likely get about ten to fifteen kills a game with precision weapons if you are in the right playlist. First off, stick to Team SWAT or Team Snipers as both gametypes start you with precision weapons and those are the only weapons on the maps. Unless you are really good at Snipers, stick to SWAT since the games are faster and just require faster reactions. Remember that this is also the last day to work on the Weekly Challenge of getting two-hundred small arms kills.
