The Challenges:
Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 150 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 5343cR
Hopefully, there will be no issue with completing this challenge today due to the other Daily Challenges as well as the Weekly Challenge. The "J.H. Death Machine" challenge will have you hitting about a hundred and twenty kills in Firefight Matchmaking. The "Now I have a Machine Gun" challenge will get you at least twenty kills and the final ten kills will be likely earned by you going for the "Home Field Advantage" challenge along with the Weekly Challenge. It pretty much seems like overkill, for the final ten kills, but it is what it is.

J.H. Death Machine - Kill 70 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the Grenade Launcher. - 2250cR
This is exactly the same challenge we had on Thursday so allow me to cheat a little and copy from that day and remember that you want Arcadefight for this challenge. One of the loadout in the playlist features the weapon, I believe. Remember to shoot it into groups and to try to catch enemies while they spawn. Should be able to get this done in a single game or you can spread it out among the games you play today. If I am wrong and there are no Grenade Launchers in the loadout, the Elites you face will surely drop some, so grab it from them.

Now I have a Machine Gun - Earn 20 kills with automatic weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2000cR
You will, pretty much regardless, be spending a bunch of time in multiplayer Matchmaking today so there is no actual point in actively trying for this challenge in a single game. You should get it over time today. Now, remember that automatic weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking include the AR, Needler, Plasma Rifle, Plasma Repeater, and the Brute Spiker (which you will not see a lot). Standard Team Slayer will start you with the AR so I would use that as a go to gametype of you are having problems getting the kills. Multi Team is also good, but the chances of wins are very low.

Home Field Advantage - Win 2 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2100cR
Well, so this pretty much falls in with the Weekly Challenge, but since you should be hitting about eleven wins a day for that challenge, just getting two hardly seems like a challenge at all. I'll just give you some basic strategies for getting wins. First off, stick to gametypes with only two teams. Multiple teams and free-for-alls tend to lower the odds of you being on the winning team. Secondly, stick to gametypes with no more than ten players. Larger gametypes like BTB or Invasion have large numbers of players and the result is way less dependent on you and your skill. Thirdly, try to stick to gametypes you know and love as you will likely do better in them. Finally, take breaks every so often. Sitting down and just playing for a large portion of the day can be really bad for you, so get up, move around, and drink lots of water.
