The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 400 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2000cR
Well, you will be playing through three of the various game modes today, thanks to these challenges. This first one, asking for four-hundred kills in Firefight Matchmaking is the lone Firefight challenge and should only take three to four games to accomplish. You can, either, play four games by yourself in Score Attack picking game types like 2X Score Attack and Gruntpocalypse to complete this one or you can do three longer games with a friend in Firefight Doubles choosing Arcadefight. It is just up to personal preference but get your Firefight Doubles games in now, as that playlist is disappearing this week (I remembered the link this time!).

LD. Solace - Complete Long Night of Solace, without dying, on Legendary with Mythic, Thunderstorm, Tilt, and Tough Luck on. - 8500cR
This will be the hardest challenge of the day for most, but you do not actually need to complete all the stipulations posted, per se. First off, the Mythic Skull doubles all enemy health, the Thunderstorm Skull upgrades all enemies, the Tilt score makes their weapons do more damage, and the Tough Luck Skull has them dodging more. As for the "without dying" part, you can die as much as you want. I kid you not. Playthrough as you normally would but before hitting the last objective, which is going over to Jorge in the hangar, Save and Quit the game. Then, you simply reload the game, walk over to Jorge, and complete the mission. Not sure if that works well on Co-op, but it may be worth a try.


Iron Will - Complete a Campaign mission alone on Heroic or harder with the Iron Skull on. - 2500cR
So, unless you really want to make life harder on yourself, or you have a friend to play with, I would not go for this challenge while working on the "LD. Solace" challenge. It would simply make it so much harder. Instead, you are better off doing a quick speedrun of a exceedingly easier level, Nightfall. You can run through Nightfall in about ten minutes or less by sprinting through on a particular path. That path is indicated in this LASO Guide which has a video too. Now, you can also run through Winter Contingency, but it takes a bit longer to complete.

Nightfall is your best bet. Freelancing - Earn at least 23 kills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 10000cR
So apparently it is partially crazy-free credit day because this is a massive amount of credits for what is essentially a very easy challenge. This is the only multiplayer Matchmaking challenge today and you can definitely complete this in a single game, but be prepared to do about two. The game playlist and gametype for this will, quite obviously, be Grifball as it allows you to get massive amounts of kills in a single game (I've hit up to eighty before). Twenty-three kills is on the lower side of things, but definitely within range even if you do not do too well. Even-matched teams will also make this easier as well.
