The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 250 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3500cR
Two hundred and fifty is, unfortunately, an odd number for anyone to hit as it is common to get a hundred to a hundred and twenty kills per game in Firefight Matchmaking. Either one of those amounts, when doubled leaves you short of two hundred and fifty. My advice to you is to play at least two games in the Firefight playlist for the Weekly Challenge. That should get you about two hundred kills. For the final fifty kills, make sure that your "Scoped" challenge is completed and I would work on that, if need be, by playing in the Score Attack playlist with a gametype like 2X Score Attack or Sniper Attack. Then you should have no problem getting to two hundred and fifty kills.

Scoped - Kill 200 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with precision weapons. - 2500cR
Typically, precision weapons, on almost any map that is not tiny, are likely your best options for scoring kills quickly in Firefight if you know how to pace your shots and aim for the head. The calmer you are, the more accurate you will be. Now, two hundred kills will not get done in a single game, but will require that you play at least two games. Since you need to make progress on the Weekly Challenge, at least one of these games will likely be in the Firefight playlist, where you will really have to compete for the kills. The second game can hopefully be in Score Attack where you can pick 2X Score Attack or Sniper Attack and collect and easy a hundred and twenty or so kills, without trouble.

Golden Opportunity - Find and kill the Gold Ranger-class Elite in any Campaign mission on Heroic or harder. - 5343cR

They are sure enjoying sending us after BoBs recently. I think this is the third Gold Ranger-class Elite challenge in the last two weeks. Either way, for this challenge you can kill any BoB in the game. The easiest one to kills is on ONI: Swordbase if you load Rally Point Bravo on Heroic or Legendary. You will need to drive to the base and then, up the ramp and to the left, there is a chance that a BoB may appear. You can tag him with the Target Designator to your right or just move up and take him out the old fashioned way. If he is not there, he might appear later on in the level near where the shotgun would spawn on the multiplayer map, Swordbase. If you are tired of getting that one every time we have this challenge, you can always try the Golden Tree City BoB again...

Twin Trips - Earn 2 Triple Kills in the same match in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2000cR
So, a Triple Kill, for those wondering, is when you score three kills in a row, all within four seconds of each other. Typically, this is an uncommon feat in most playlists so scoring two is even more difficult. Pretty much, this means that you will want to play in playlists where multikills are common, like Grifball, Living Dead, or Multi Team. Personally, I think Grifball is the best option and also the most enjoyable of the three. Also, the chances for two Triple Kills is much higher in Grifball than the other two playlists. However, any of the three are doable.
