The Challenges:
Fire When Ready - Kill 30 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 1100cR
I am directing you to play Grifball for the "Up Close and Personal" challenge, so that should take care of a chunk of kills for this challenge if not completing it outright. Thirty kills do not need to be completed in a single game as but you very well might do so in Grifball. If you end up short of kills, I would just play another game of Grifball as no other gametype lets you get as many kills as quickly.


Up Close and Personal - Kill 8 enemies with close quarters combat in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 1600cR

Close quarters combat kills are typically any kill via a Gravity Hammer, Energy Sword, Shotgun, Melee with any weapon, bomb, or skull, or an assassination. This is most easily done in the Grifball playlist, playing a standard game of Grifball. This gametypes will typically get you about twenty to thirty kills a game and almost all of them will be close quarters combat kills. That should make this, and the "Fire When Ready" challenge, exceedingly easy. No sweat at all for you.

The Little Guys - Kill 200 Grunts in Campaign today on Normal or harder. - 2500cR

Grunts are the easiest possibly enemy to kill on pretty much any difficulty. There are also, typically, a lot of them on all of the levels. I would not do this challenge on Legendary, or on Co-op for that matter, like the Weekly Challenge, but Solo and on Heroic. Start with Winter Contingency and just play through till you hit two-hundred kills. A good thing to note is that you do not need to actually kill the Grunts, but just do them damage. Then you AI teammate can kill them and you still get credit for it. This challenge may very well take into Nightfall or Tip of the Spear to complete.

Survivor - Earn 9 Sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game. - 2000cR

A spree in Firefight Matchmaking is ten kills in a row, uninterrupted by death. You will be awarded a spree medal every ten kills until you hit fifty kills. Once you hit fifty kills, the next spree comes at a hundred, then five-hundred, and then a thousand. You will not be hitting those last two, which means that you can only get six sprees per game if you do not die. Well, we need nine which means you will need to die to complete this challenge. Load up a game in the Score Attack playlist and die once you hit fifty kills and then just start all over. This way you can actually hit ten sprees in a single game.

The Weekly Challenge:
Legendary Friends - Complete any Campaign mission on Legendary in co-op mode. - 10000cR

This is really not much of a challenge, to be honest, since most people tackle Legendary difficulty in co-operative play. Winter Contingency is probably the easiest level in the game to try this on. The only real challenging part is the Zealot class Elites at the end of the mission. You can also try to run through Nightfall, which should be interesting with two players, but is definitely doable. The one important thing to remember about any co-operative play is that in Reach, the difficulty will scale up more with more players on a mission. So the more help you have, the harder it gets. I would not try to run this challenge with four players as that will just make it even more difficult.
