Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 8/11/12

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

The Challenges:
Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
Well, the other challenges today will likely get you this challenge, fortunately. "Came From Behind" will be achieved while working on "Five-Time Champ" which will probably get you about fifty to seventy kills if you win five straight. "Return of the Mack" will likely yield around a hundred. These kills can be achieved in any mode in Reach however, which means that Firefight is a great option for this if you do not want to do the other challenges. If you end of slightly short on kills, some extra games in multiplayer Matchmaking should do just fine to finish off the challenge.

Came From Behind - Perform 2 Assassinations in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2200cR
You should be aiming for this challenge while working on the "Five-time Champ" challenge which will have you playing at least five games. Now, you can trigger an assassination animation when you are behind an opposing player and you hold the melee button but the animation needs to mostly complete for the assassination to count. Assassination on inclines or in the air will go significantly faster than regular ones. Now, Team Snipers is a great playlist for this challenge as players lose focus of surroundings and are easily assassinated. However, this can be done in a wide variety of playlists so try to play in what you excel at.

Return of the Mack - Kill 50 Elites in Campaign today on Normal or harder. - 1700cR
Good 'ole Elite kills. Well, fifty kills will likely take a while unless you are playing through the right mission. You have two options here. The first option is running through ONI: Swordbase as this one has a ton of Elites. Start at the beginning of the mission on Heroic difficulty and make sure that if you see any Elite, put some shots into him so you get credit for the kill. You may end up just short of fifty kills however, but you can continue on into Nightfall. The other option is to play through the ending of Long Night of Solace from Rally Point Bravo. This will net you about thirty or so Elite kills and will require two playthroughs as Exodus has no Elites to slay.

Five-time Champ - Win 5 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 4343cR
Five games to win today in multiplayer Matchmaking and it should not be too difficult, but just time consuming. Generally, you will want to stick to gametypes and playlists that you excel at and play with friends or people that you do well with. Here are some tips, however, if you are having issues. First off, stick to gametypes with only two teams. Multiple teams instantly lowers your chances of scoring a win. Secondly, stick to gametypes that you already excel at. Thirdly, try to play with friends since you already know how they will do and how you can work with them. Finally, if this is taking you a while, take breaks. Try not to sit down for a long time just playing games, as that can be quite bad for you.

  2. Easy way to get elite kills are Nightfall. After you assassinate the irst elite, scope in on the second on on the mezzanine. Wait for the checkpoint to appear and shoot. Then revert to last checkpoint and repeat.
