My power at home went out last night and is still out, so let's all thank my friend Kenny for letting me hang out and use his electricity.

The Challenges:
Blastin’ and Relaxin’ – Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. – 2343cR
Unlike the last few days, after you complete the other Daily Challenges, you will need to go out of your way to complete this one. Though a hundred and eighty kills is not too large of a mountain to overcome, you will likely need to jump into campaign or Firefight to get it done. My recommendation is to hit up some games of Firefight Matchmaking like Gruntpocalypse in the Score Attack playlist along with some Custom Challenges. That can give you some very, very good credit outputs over three hours. Just remember to turn in the challenges once you are done.

Explosive Ordnance Distribution – Earn 3 kills with ordnance weapons in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. – 2000cR
So, this challenge brings about a rare occasion and one that I am not full comfortable with but, with great hesitation, I will direct you to the Action Sack playlist. Specifically, you will be looking for the gametypes which focus on explosive ordnance weapons. This means that you will want to aim for gametypes like Splockets and Dino Blasters. Splockets will give you the Spartan Laser and Rockets while Dino Blasters will give you the Concussion Rifle. Personally, Splockets is likely less annoying as it does not have unlimited ammunition without reload and unlimited armor abilities. This should take a single game to complete.

Sweep the Leg – Perform an Assassination in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. – 2000cR
I’m not going to write a lot for this challenge as an assassination is something that you should be able to do pretty often in Matchmaking by just playing games. Just go up behind a player and hold the melee button to trigger an assassination. If you are really desperate for an assassination, I would recommend going to the Team Snipers playlist as people in that playlist are always more prone to getting assassinated since they lose focus.


Need Some Ammo – Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic or harder with the Famine Skull on. – 2500cR
For those who are unaware, the Famine Skill will make all weapons which you pick up off the ground have half as much ammunition. As per the norm, speed-running through Nightfall is the easiest option to complete this challenge. Just set the difficulty to at least Heroic and run through the level following this guide. You can also run through Winter Contingency but Nightfall is by far the easiest. Good luck on your speed-run of whatever level you choose.
