The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 250 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3500cR
This challenge should not at all take too long today and will require at least two games in Firefight Matchmaking but, more likely, three games since two might land you just short of two-hundred and fifty kills. Typically, you get about a hundred and twenty to a hundred and twenty-five kills in a game in the Score Attack playlist. However, the later total is pretty rare to get. You could possibly end up one or two kills short of two-hundred and fifty so be prepared to play that third game.

Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 200 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3000cR
To get headshots, you need to be using a headshot-capable weapon. These include the DMR, Pistol, Sniper, Needle Rifle, and the Covenant Beam Rifle. Most likely you will be using the DMR and the Pistol in Firefight Matchmaking and those are the ones I recommend to use. You can play either Gruntpocalypse or 2X Score Attack but Gruntpocalypse is preferred since, if you miss and hit the body instead, you still have a chance to nail a headshot. Expect this to take two games as you only see about a hundred and twenty or so enemies in a single game of Firefight in the Score Attack playlist.

More Like In Post - Kill 125 enemies on Outpost in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1100cR
Outpost is an okay map, but not one of my favorites. Even though you have decent sightlines, the terrain does allow some enemies to hide from you and sneak closer. Either way, a hundred and twenty-five kills can possibly be done in a single game, but likely you will fall just short. You will likely need to play two to three games of Firefight anyway for the "One Spartan Army" challenge, so playing a second game on this map is not too much trouble. Remember to go for headshot kills as well for the "Hyper Lethal Vector" challenge.

L.D. Exodus - Complete Exodus, without dying, on Legendary with Mythic, Thunderstorm, Tilt, and Tough Luck on. - 5000cR
Exodus is actually one of the more annoying levels to play on Legendary thanks to some of the rather tough Brutes that you must face in the level. The skulls will just make it worse as Mythic will double their health, Thunderstorm upgrades all enemies, Tilt makes them deal more damage, and Tough Luck will have them dodging more. Now, follow this LASO guide to see how to make it through the level. Remember that you can die as much as you want but, before the last objective, Save and quit the game. Then Resume the campaign and complete the last objective to complete the challenge.
