The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
Challenges are slightly more spread out today featuring two in Firefight Matchmaking and two in multiplayer Matchmaking. This one is the easiest of the day, only asking for a hundred and twenty kills to be made in Firefight Matchmaking. No need to really go out of your way on this one since working on the "J.H. Death Machine" challenge will likely take care of these kills for you. If you do end up slightly short of this number. A single game of Crashsite in the Score Attack playlist will easily take care of this for you.

Double Double - Earn 2 Double Kills in the same match in Multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2000cR
Writing up a guide for this challenge is likely somewhat of a waste due to the "Oops! All Kills" challenge and due to the Weekly Challenge. You can easily complete this challenge in a single game but if you need help, go below and look at the "Oops! All Kills" challenge write up for tips and explanations. Do note however that you need two Double Kills for this challenge, not two Multikills, in a single game.



J.H. Death Machine - Kill 70 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the Grenade Launcher. - 2250cR
With Firefight Doubles making its disappearance from matchmaking, this challenge has become a bit more ... challenging. The issue is that it is now much harder to find a Grenade Launcher in Firefight Matchmaking. Arcadefight was a good source but that was typically always in the Firefight Doubles playlist. Now, your best shot is in the standard, four-player, Firefight playlist. Aim for the gametypes Arcadefight NEP. The general problem with Firefight Arcade is that the number of players increases, but the number of enemies does not. This mean less kills to go around. It definitely is possibly to get this done in a single game, but you really need to only use the Grenade Launcher. It also somewhat helps if you end up with three players instead of four.

Oops! All Kills - Earn 7 Multikills in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2400cR
I guess it is somewhat fitting that the challenges today are quite easy. Yesterday's challenges, especially the "complete fifteen games" one was bordering on the inane. However, seven multikills over today is exceedingly easy. A multikills, as you may very well know, is multiple kills each scored within at least four seconds of each other. First there is the Double Kill, then Triple Kill, followed by the Overkill, etc. Now, if you have yet to complete the Weekly Challenge, do so today and you should be all set for this one. If you have completed it, just head back into Grifball and get to hammering.
