Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 9/12/12

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

The Challenges:

Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 400 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 4000cR
Been a while since we had a challenge asking for this many kills and I think it is a refreshing change. The other Daily Challenge will not get this one done for you today, unless "Linked Up with Bungie.net" becomes a crazy challenge asking you to play a bunch of games or score a bunch of kills. Now, I would expect to play multiple games of Firefight to complete this challenge so, after you complete "A Simple Spree" you will only need to play three more games to finish this one off, maybe only two more if you get a bunch of kills going for the "Twin Trips" challenge as well.

A Simple Spree - Earn any spree in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2000cR
A spree in Firefight Matchmaking is ten kills uninterrupted by death of any kind. Scoring a spree is insanely easy in Firefight Matchmaking pretty much regardless of whatever gametype and playlist you choose. Personally, go for Score Attack so you can get as many kills as possible for the "Shootin' and Lootin'" challenge, because you will need it. 2X Score Attack is a great playlist for this and just getting kills quickly because you deal double damage to all enemies. Make sure you aim for a small map for this challenge to speed things up. You can also do this in Gruntpocalypse, which is all Grunts, and in the regular Firefight playlist, but you will likely get less kills.

Linked Up with Bungie.net - Link your gamertag with Bungie.net and play a game in Halo: Reach Matchmaking. - 1cR
As most of you have already expected, this challenge will be getting changed very quickly as it is impossible for new players to complete. Whatever is replacing it, I have no clue but it will not happen until they wake up on the west coast, so be patient. If you did link up with Bungie.net before the servers switched over, you can complete this challenge and score that one, lone credit, so do so if you want. I will not be able to post anything about the new challenge as I will be at work so please post what it is in the comments. Thanks!

Twin Trips - Earn 2 Triple Kills in the same match in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2000cR
This challenge is simple enough, if you know the right playlist, as Triple Kills can be hard to come by otherwise in multiplayer Matchmaking. Your best bet will be the Grifball playlist as it will allow you to score tons of multikills in Multiplayer Matchmaking. Now a Triple Kill is three kills scored within seven seconds of each other. Racking up six kills in this manner will not count for this challenge so remember to space them out. Grifball is the best playlist for this but you can also have success in gametypes like Invasion, Big Team Battle, and Multi Team. The choice on what gametype is yours, but remember the Grifball is easiest.

  1. Added Challenge:
    Mythic Bustin' - Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic or harder with the Mythic Skull on. - 1000cR
    If you have yet to do the LASO Challenge for this week, doing it today would be a great idea and would also get this challenge done for you. If you have already done it, then I urge you to run Nightfall again since it is still the fastest way to complete the challenge. It will take you about seven to ten minutes and you only need to be on Heroic and no other skulls are necessary besides Mythic, which doubles the health of all your enemies.

    2. This is also the second time in a row that they've replaced the "Linked Up" with "Mythic Bustin". Seems like their go to replacement.
