Halo Reach Daily and Weekly Challenges Guide - 3/12/12

The Challenges:
More than a Handful - Kill 25 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2000cR
You will be playing, if you stick to my plan, at least seven games today for the Weekly Challenge. In these, at least, seven games that you play today if you are unable to score a total of twenty-five kills, you are likely doing something wrong. This should actually only take you about two to three games to complete as you should be hitting ten or twelve kills per games. Try some Grifball if this is really becoming an issue.


Flat Tire - Kill 10 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2343cR

Finally, since the last matchmaking update, drop-ships have returned to Firefight Arcade. You will likely need to play two or three games to complete this challenge, but at least you do not have to play Holdout. Beachhead is really the best map for this challenge as it is a wide open map and Wraiths and Banshees get dropped frequently. I would also try for Sniper Attack on this map as that will make it easiest to score these vehicle kills. The only downfall of Firefight Arcade is that you need to compete with three other players. It sucks, but it is still probably easier than playing Holdout.

A Solid Outing - Earn at least 12 kills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 1300cR

In all honesty, as I stated above for the "More Than a Handful" challenge, you should be hitting about ten to twelve kills per game regardless. This challenge should be a freebie by most accounts. I would recommend playing a game of Grifball to finish off this challenge if you are having troubles scoring enough kills in other gametypes. Multi Team is also a great option but wins are harder to come by.


A Satisfied Thirst - Kill 100 Grunts in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1500cR

If you do not complete this challenge while working on the "Flat Tire" challenge, then your best option for completion is to play a game of Gruntpocalypse in the Score Attack playlist. Gruntpocalypse is all Grunts, all the time, and nothing else which means that scoring Grunt kills is quite easy. A typical game will get you about a hundred and twenty kills so, regardless, you will be well over the a hundred kill threshold required for this challenge.

The Weekly Challenge:
Clear Eyes, Full Hearts - Win 50 games in multiplayer Matchmaking this week. - 30343cR

I really do hate these challenges that require you to score a bunch of wins a day. It should have, if anything, been "Complete fifty games" but we never have that luck. Well, anyway, you need to hit fifty wins in multiplayer Matchmaking this week and to do so you will need to hit about seven plus wins a day. This means that, if you have terrible luck, you could be playing over fourteen games a day to score these wins. Hopefully, you will not be stuck playing that many games.

Here are some hints to secure wins. First off, play in playlists that you enjoy and normally have success in. Now would not be a great time to find a new playlist that really annoys you. Secondly, play with people that you know and like. If you know your fellow players and have played with them before, you know their strengths and how to work as a team. That is always a plus in any team game. Finally, take breaks. If you get to appoint where you are not really focused or are aggravated, stop playing and do something else. Aggravates and angry play typically leads to you losing, trust me. I learned from experience.
