Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 5/23/12

Please subscribe above this and/or follow me on twitter! Have any ideas or comments about the challenges? Post them down below!

The Challenges:
Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 150 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 5343cR
A hundred and fifty enemies should be pretty simple a number to hit, so I really am wondering why the credit value is so high for this challenge, but I am not really complaining. After you complete the other Daily Challenges today (including whichever one replaces the "Linked Up with Bungie.net" challenge), just jump into some Firefight Matchmaking and work on the Weekly Challenge. That will provide more than enough kills to put you well over a hundred and fifty.

A Friend in Need - Earn 10 assists in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2200cR
Now, in Firefight Matchmaking, an assists is earned every time you deal forty percent damage to an enemy and someone else takes the kill. This likely happens to you all the time but when you do not want it to happen, it is called "Kill Stealing." Regardless, you will need to play in either the Firefight or Firefight Doubles for this playlist since you will need teammates. Try to communicate with your teammates to indicate that you are going for assists and that you are okay with them stealing your kills. The Firefight playlist may be your best option for this challenge since it will have more people to steal your kills than Firefight Doubles.


Throwing Fireballs - Kill 7 enemies with grenades in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2400cR
This one will actually be pretty hard to do in a single game as seven grenade kills is well above normal. Multi Team, on a small map, or Team Objective are likely your best options to complete this challenge. For Multi Team, go for the Objective gametypes which pop up like Crazy King. What you can typically do is just aim your grenades for the objective if you know it is occupied and hopefully rack up the kills. You can also try for just regular Slayer, but since the game relies on reaching a certain number of kills, that can definitely work against you.

Linked Up with Bungie.net - Link your gamertag with Bungie.net and play a game in Halo: Reach Matchmaking. - 3000cR
So, you really do not need to worry about this challenge as it is impossible to complete. The servers of Halo Reach are now at 343 Industries, not Bungie.net, and have no way of knowing whether you have a Bungie.net account or not, therefore making it hard to link them. Expect this challenge to be changed, as it was last time, to a different random challenge. I, however, will be at work and unable to post the new challenge so please comment about it if you can. Thanks!
