The Challenges:
More Than a Handful - Kill 77 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 3500cR
Lots of, actually, short challenges today that should not take a lot of time. This one will actually probably be the longest one as all the others will only require one game in their respective game modes. After you have completed "Explosive Ordnance Distribution," work on this challenge. You should be scoring about twelve to fifteen kills per game in multiplayer Matchmaking but upwards of twenty to thirty in gametypes like Grifball. Play with some friends and this will be really easy.

A Satisfied Thirst - Kill 100 Grunts in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1500cR
The best way to complete this challenge is to play through a game of Gruntpocalypse in the Score Attack playlist. In Score Attack, you will typically get a hundred and twenty kills per game and Gruntpocalypse makes it so you only face Grunts. Clearly, this challenge is not all that challenging and just requires you to know the proper gametype and playlist. Should, clearly, be done in a single game.


Points Pyramid - Score 60,000 points on any Campaign mission. - 17500cR

The best way to complete this challenge is to do something I call Banshee Hunting. Basically, you will start the level New Alexandria on Heroic with the Iron, Tough Luck, Catch, Famine, and Thunderstorm Skulls on. You will hop in the Falcon at start and just go around killing all the Banshees and Phantoms that you see. This should take about eight minutes to complete as once you get to about fifty thousand points you can just Save and Exit the game and you should get a time multiplier. It does not always kick in so perhaps just play it safe and hit sixty thousand naturally. Video of the method can be seen here. Do not complete the objectives, do not die, and do not bitch to me about it taking too long if you didn't turn all the Skulls on.

Explosive Ordnance Distribution - Earn 3 kills with ordnance weapons in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
Explosive Ordnance weapons, in Firefight Matchmaking, will include the Rocket Launcher, Grenade Launcher, Concussion Rifle, and Fuel Rod Gun. As these are typically the more sought after weapons in a game, you will need to find a gametype that just gives you any of these weapons automatically. Your best bet is the Action Sack playlist. Aim for gametypes like Dino Blasters (Concussion Rifle) or Splockets (Spartan Laser and Rockets). As you only need three kills in a game, these gametypes make this extremely easy. You can do this in most other playlists, but it will just be a lot more challenging.
