The Challenges:
More than a Handful - Kill 77 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 3500cR 
On average, you should be scoring about twelve to fifteen kills per game if you are looking to add those games to the win column (depending on the gametype, of course). As you will be playing at least five games for the "Five-time Champ," that should take care of at least fifty to sixty kills for you, if you have a bad game or two thrown in there. You simply need to complete two or three more games for this challenge. If you are looking to get a bunch of kills quick, Grifball is always a great option to score a bunch of kills. You will likely score double or triple what you would in a normal game.

Katanarama - Kill 5 enemies using the Energy Sword in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1500cR
There are two ways you can go about this challenge. The first one has you playing 2X Score Attack on a small map like Corvette. In the final wave of 2X Score Attack, you will always face about twenty or so Elites. If you stay back and out of range, some invisible Elites with swords will typically come find you, thus supplying you with an Energy Sword. You can figure out the rest from here. The second method has you playing Firefight Arcade but there is a catch. A lot of the Firefight Arcade gametypes, now, do not allow you to pick up weapons. You need to go for a gametype like Arcade Fight. Now, possibly, at the end of one of the rounds there will be an Elite with a sword. Once he is dead, take his sword and use it during the next round. And remember, these do not all need to be done in a single game, and you are likely doing multiples for the Weekly Challenge anyway.

If it Bleeds... - Find and kill the Gold Range-class Elite in any Campaign mission on Normal or harder. - 5000cR

Now, I was under the impression that Gold Ranger-class Elites only appeared Heroic or higher, but I guess some of the Heroic location ones appear on Normal on occasion. I have never seen them there though, but then I never play on Normal. Now, the easiest Gold Ranger-class Elite (or BoB for Born-on-Board) to kill in the Campaign quickly is on the level ONI: Swordbase. Load up ONI: Swordbase Rally Point Bravo on Heroic. Drive up to the gate and grab the Target Designator to your right. Walk up the ramp, dispatching the enemies immediately in front of you and turn left. If you see a dual-wielding Elite running away from you, the BoB has appeared. Tag him with the Designator and put some shots into him. Hopefully he is eliminated and the challenge is completed. If he does not appear, you can either restart this, or continue on in the mission for the other BoB location, which is near what is the multiplayer Shotgun spawn. You can sneak up and assassinate this one quite easily.

Five-time Champ - Win 5 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 4343cR
This is the second time this week that we have had a challenge asking you to win a certain number of games. This one is slightly more bearable as it want two less games. Here are some types to go by: First off, try to play with a team of people you know. Who knows who matchmaking will set you up with, so diminish its effect and come into matchmaking with a full team. You will likely communicate and work better with a group of people you already know. Secondly, stick to gametypes you already know, enjoy, and do well in. Whenever you are going for wins, exploring new games types is likely a bad idea. Thirdly, stick to gametypes with only two teams. More teams means less chances for you to win as the odds are against you. Finally, smaller maps have faster games. The faster the game, the quicker you can try and score that next win.
