The Challenges:
Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
A hundred and eighty enemies kills should be pretty much taken care of today with the other challenges. "Killagruntjaro" will have you scoring about a hundred or so kills in Firefight Matchmaking if you go the full game route, "Return of the Mack" will have you getting another hundred or so kill in campaign, and "Single Wield" will have you scoring at least seventy-seven kills in multiplayer Matchmaking but likely more. Looks to me like this challenge does not need any worry. Move along.

Killagruntjaro - Earn 7 multikills in a Firefight Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
This challenge should take you no time at all and can be completed in a single game of Firefight Matchmaking. Now, in Firefight Matchmaking, a multikill is any number of kills (up to ten) separated by about one second. The multikills should be very easy to come by especially with Grunts. Therefore, my advice is for you to play a game of Gruntpocalypse or Crashsite for this challenge. Crashsite may be the better option as once you get the multikills you need you can just die or let the Generator explode to end the game legitimately.

Return of the Mack - Kill 35 Elites in Campaign today on Normal or harder. - 3000cR

I find it easiest to run through ONI: Swordbase for this challenge. You can likely just run through it once and get all these Elite kills. I would also recommend that you run through on Heroic difficulty. The reason for this is because your AI teammates tend to steal kills on the lower difficulties. On the higher difficulties, they will get kills but you have more time to deal damage to the enemy first. If you do deal damage to an enemy and then it is killed by an AI Teammate, that kill will actually count as yours so try to put fire on as many Elites as possible. Should be done with a single playthrough but, if not, continue onto Nightfall to finish it off.

Single Wield - Earn 77 kills with small arms weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2800cR
So this will be the challenge today that will take up a lot of your time. Small arms weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking include the Magnum Pistol, the Needler, and the Plasma Pistol and none of these weapons are ideal in a large number of playlists. The best playlists for these are Team SWAT and Multi Team. In team SWAT, you will want to go for SWAT Magnums or just use the pistol if you get regular SWAT. In Multi Team, go for Elite Slayer so you can spawn with the Needler. Otherwise, Multi Team is still a decent playlist in which to score kills as you can just use the Magnum Pistol on groups of people who are fighting each other or meleeing. Expect this to take at least four to seven games however. Depends on how lucky you are with your gametypes.
