Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 5/27/12

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

The Challenges:
Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
You should have no problem amassing these kills today due to the other Daily Challenges and the Weekly Challenge. Just the "Climb Points Mountain" will likely get you most of these kills and the you still have the at least two games of Score Attack which will be giving you more than a hundred kills each. On top of all that you may have games left to play for the Weekly Challenge, which will net you several hundred kills as well. The point here is that this is very well taken care of, so move along.

Demon - Kill 30 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2400cR
Elites will always be, pretty much, the hardest enemies to kills in Firefight Matchmaking. Now, you will need to kill thirty of them today, but that can be really easily done if you know the right playlist. First off, if you have games to play for the Weekly Challenge still, hit those first as you will likely score some Elite kills in those. Once you are done with that, or only need about five more waves, jump into the Score Attack playlist and go for 2X Score Attack. At the last wave of this gametype you will face about twenty or so Elites which should be enough to help you finish off this challenge. If not, play one more game and you should be all set.

Climb Points Mountain - Score 2,000,000 points on any Firefight map. - 3000cR
So, clearly, this challenge will not be completed in Firefight Matchmaking as you could never possibly amass that many points in a single game online. What you will need to do is create a custom Firefight game, with specific settings. I would direct you to file shares online, but that is no longer an option until 343 Industries get their summer update pushed out to Waypoint. Regardless, set up a game where you have unlimited ammunition, unlimited Armor Abilities, are invulnerable, do not have to reload, all enemies are Elites Generals, and the bonus round enemies are Heretic Elites. Set the game to be unlimited sets and just play until you hit two million points. If you already have gametypes like this that were used for the original Reach Achievement, "Heat In The Pipe," you can use it for this challenge as well.

Roast 'em, Toast 'em - Kill 35 enemies while jet-packing in Exodus on Normal. - 3000cR

I still have yet to figure out what is the infatuation with jet-packing in this game. It does nothing but make you an easier target. Regardless, this stuff just needs to be done in campaign on the level Exodus on at least normal difficulty. Now, I would load up Rally Point Alpha as that will start you right at the jet-packs. Do note that you must be actively using the jet-pack armor ability as you score the kill. Not falling, not just in the air, and it does not matter when you threw the grenade. Thirty-five kills may take a while so be prepared to play through this level twice.
