The Challenges:
Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
Pretty simple challenges today and they should not take up a lot of time as compared to yesterday as the kills-required counts are much lower. This one, will take you two games to complete as you typically get only a hundred and twenty kills per game and a single game will leave you sixty short. However, you will likely be playing a second game for the "Demon" challenge anyway, so it works out.

Demon - Kill 30 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2400cR
The best way to get Elite kills is to play a game of 2X Score Attack in the Score Attack playlist. In this gametype, you will get about twenty to twenty-five Elite kills in the final wave guaranteed unless they kill themselves. This will leave you short by about five to ten kills so you will need to play another game of 2X Score Attack to finish off the challenge. This works out well since you will need two games for the "Blastin' and Relaxin'" challenge as well.

Be Their Huckleberry - Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the pistol. - 2500cR
2X Score Attack, which you will be playing for the "Demon" challenge, is a great playlist for this since it will increase the weapon damage of the pistol. Now, using the pistol can make the game last a bit longer as the clip is small, you do less, damage, and you have less extra ammo for it. Since you have to do two games anyway, I would try for fifty pistol kills in each game to make sure you actually complete the game and get the Elite kills.

Weapon Swap - Earn 10 sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game on Heroic or harder. - 2000cR
A spree in Firefight Matchmaking is ten kills uninterrupted by death until you get to fifty kills. Once you hit fifty kills, the next spree is at a hundred kills, then five-hundred, and then a thousand. You need ten in a single game for this challenge and, clearly, you will not be hitting those in a game of Firefight Matchmaking. What you will need to do is get to fifty kills and then die on purpose to start the sprees over. Then you get another fifty kills and the challenge is complete.
