The Challenges:
Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 250 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 3800cR
So, the other challenges today will not complete this one for you, asking you to score two hundred and fifty kills. They, likely, will not even get close to that number and you may very well end up a hundred and fifty kills short. The best way to overcome this is to play some Firefight Matchmaking. You will get about a hundred and twenty kills per game in the Score Attack playlist of Firefight Matchmaking. Make the second game a game of Crashsite and you are all set. In Crashsite, you can just get the kills you need and then let the generator explode or die to end the game legitimately.

Light Fuse, Run Away - Kill 4 enemies with grenades in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2100cR
You will want to try and get this done while you are playing seven games for "The Magic Number" challenge. The choice of gametypes here will be key as some games will not facilitate lots of grenade kills. First off, Multi Team and Team Objective are greats playlists for grenade kills. Multi Team is great because, as long as you are on a small map, targets tend to congregate in the same area. Just chuck some grenades at them and the kills should be easy to get. For Team Objective, you typically now where you enemies are going or where they are camping. This makes grenades extremely useful as they can easily clear out these areas. In either of these two gametypes, getting four grenade kills in a single game should be a cinch.

Eyes in the Sky - Kill 10 enemies with the Designator in ONI on Heroic. - 1500cR

To complete this challenge really easily, load up Rally Point Bravo on ONI: Swordbase on Heroic. This will start you at the point where you need to make your back to Swordbase. Once you are in the gate, to your right will be the Target Designator. There will be a slew of enemies coming down the ramp in front of you. Simply tag the area before your AI teammates start to take them out and watch the counter start to go up. You may not get all the ten you need, but just hit reload checkpoint and do it again to get to ten. You also have two salvos in the target Designator, so do not be afraid to use a follow up salvo.


The Magic Number - Complete 7 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 3000cR
So you just need to complete seven games, but you do not need to win them, which makes today a bit easier. Seven games should not take too long but will require some time on your part. The gametypes you choose are entirely up to you but here are some things to remember. Smaller maps equal shorter games. The smaller the map, the faster the game will be since you are forced into contact with the other team. Choose gametypes you like. You will like do better and therefore end the game faster if you are good at the gametype. Play with your friends. You will likely have a better time, making this entire challenge less grinding if you play with friends and do not focus on just pumping out game after game. Finally, take a break. Do not try to complete this all in one sitting as that is not healthy by any means.
