Halo Reach Daily and Weekly Challenges Guide - 7/23/12

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

The Challenges:
I'm Rubber, You're Glue - Earn 2 sticky grenade Kills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2200cR
Wow, no semi-generic challenge today asking you to kill a set number of players in Reach or a specific mode. Been a while since this happened. Anyway, as you hopefully know, a stick y grenade (Plasma Grenade) kill is when you stick an opponent with a Plasma Grenade which then explodes and kills them. You will need to score two of these in a single game, which should not be too hard in the right playlist. That playlist, for us, is Multi Team since it most often has Elite Slayer appear in matchmaking. In Elite Slayer, you will always spawn with a sticky grenade so just get two kills by sticking someone and you are all set.

Oops! All Kills - Earn 7 Multikills in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2400cR
A Multikill in Reach multiplayer Matchmaking is awarded when you score multiple kills within four seconds of each other. This is, typically, a common occurrence for most players and hopefully for you too. Since this challenge does not need to be completed in a single game, I am recommending that you do all the other challenges and let this one come as it will. No need to play in a specific playlist unless you are having trouble and specifically need Multikills. If you are done with the other challenges and need Multikills, play Grifball, since that playlist is practically designed for Multikills.

This is My Rifle... - Earn 40 kills with precision weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2600cR
In Reach, precision weapons include the following; the DMR (Designated Marksman's Rifle), the Needler Rifle, the Sniper Rifle, and the Covenant Focus Rifle. Expect to get these kills with the first three weapons and the Focus Rifle sucks. Anyway, You will want to stick to either the Team Snipers or Team SWAT playlists for this challenge, since you can only use precision weapons in those playlist, minus SWAT Magnums. You should hit at least ten kills a game so expect this to take four games to complete.

Chaddlesby's Justice - Avenge your teammates' deaths 5 times in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2100cR
So, avenging a teammate in multiplayer Matchmaking should actually be a semi-common occurrence for most players. A medal, called "Avenger," is awarded whenever you kill someone who killed your teammate within a short amount of time afterwards, and before someone else kills him. These occur in every playlist. Since you do not have to get all of these in a single game, which would suck, playthrough the other challenges first and if you still need this afterwards, try playing Grifball and it should not be too hard.


The Weekly Challenge:
Tip of the Spear: LASO - Complete Tip of the Spear, Legendary, All Skulls On (LASO). - 13000cR

Well, it looks like the LASO missions are becoming more popular again, though we did have this one recently, so I am a little disappointed. Anyway, Tip of the Spear is not exactly a hard mission on LASO, it is just a very long mission. There are tricky parts, especially near the end, but with the right strategies, you should be all set. And a guide and strategies for this level on LASO difficulty can be seen here. Remember that playing with a friend is not always recommended and causes enemies to be much tougher, but also nullifies the effects of the Iron Skull partially. Having a teammate is completely up to you.
