The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
Well, this and the "Demon" challenge should be well taken care of today thanks to the "A Walk in the..." challenge which has you getting a thousand kills on Beachhead in Firefight Matchmaking. Now, this challenge has you going for a hundred and twenty kills which should be taken care of in a single game, so do not fret. As I will tell you later in the "A Walk in the..." challenge guide, play Score Attack, so you can insure that you end up playing Beachhead and not some other map.  I hope all this finishes of the Weekly Challenge for you as well if you haven't already complete it.

Demon - Kill 50 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3000cR
Elites, of certain varieties at least, are the toughest enemies you will face in Firefight and you need to kill fifty of them today in Firefight Matchmaking. Now, you are already going to be aiming for a thousand kills on Beachhead today, so fifty Elites kills sounds pretty simplistic. I am urging you to make some of your games 2X Score Attack due to the final wave of that gametype. The final wave of 2X Score Attack is almost always about twenty Elites and playing three games of that on Beachhead will put you at a nice sixty Elite kills. That is ten more than you need. Challenge complete.

A Walk in the... - Kill 1000 enemies on Beachhead in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3000cR
So, this is a lot of kills, on a large map, and must be done in Matchmaking. This is a great example of why they should never get rid of Score Attack since this would take all day otherwise. In Score Attack you can keep saying none of the above for a while and you will, likely, eventually get Beachhead to show up. Now, due to the "Demon" challenge, at least three of these game should be 2X Score Attack since that will let you get the Elite kills done and out of the way. You can keep going with 2X Score Attack of switch to something like Gruntpocalypse or Rocket Attack if you ever see it come up. Just make sure that you get all the kills every game and you should be done in nine games.

Single Wield - Earn 77 kills with small arms weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2800cR
This will likely be the most annoying challenge of the day even though "A Walk in the..." looks a lot harder. Small arms in Reach are the Magnum Pistol, Needler, Plasma Pistol, and the Spiker and you need seventy-seven kills with them today in multiplayer Matchmaking. What you will need is gametypes that either feature these weapons or allow you easy access to them. SWAT Magnums is a great playlist for this but even if you just get regular SWAT, you can stick to more close quarters areas and just use the Magnum. As well, Multi Team can be good for the Needler if you can get Elite Slayer. Expect this to take about seven to eight games.
