The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
Well, you will be playing a crap ton of Firefight Matchmaking today, not thanks to this challenge though. It is the other challenges that will cause this as you have to score a hundred of different weapon kills and headshots, though some of those can be done at the same time, thankfully. Now, for this challenge, you hardly even need to worry since it is just asking for a hundred and twenty kills in Firefight Matchmaking. In Score Attack, you should hit this in your first game or so and in the Firefight playlist, this will likely take two games to complete. I'm suggesting you hit the four-player Firefight playlist at the start, so expect to get it there.

The T.G. Opposition - Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the Shotgun. - 3000cR
The key to getting a bunch of Shotgun kills in Firefight Matchmaking is having the right gametype and the right map. You need the right games type so you have a shotgun and also unlimited ammunition. For our purposes that gametype will be Arcadefight NEP where the shotgun is available in one of the loadouts. No other gametypes really have the shotgun, except occasionally as a weapon drop. You will also need a small map on which to complete this challenge. Courtyard is a great option for this as well as the map is small and parts of it are isolated. Expect this to take at least two games to complete.

Be Their Huckleberry - Kill 200 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the pistol. - 1500cR
Oh, the Pistol. Everyone's favorite weapon, right? ...Right? Nope, we all know that in comparison to the pistol in Halo: CE, this pistol still has a bit left to be desired. However, we are stuck with it as this challenge forces us to use it today. Now, the easiest way to score kills with the Magnum Pistol is with headshots and it is easiest to score headshots on Grunts. Therefore, you should be venturing into the Score Attack playlist and choosing the Gruntpocalypse gametype. This gametype is all grunts, all the time. Since you get about two hundred and twenty enemies to face per game, expect this challenge to take two games to complete. Should finish off "Hyper Lethal Vector" as well.

Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 150 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2125cR
Now, you will hopefully get this challenge done while working on the "Be Their Huckleberry" challenge, as most of those kills should come via headshots and you need a hundred and fifty to complete this challenge. This is pretty self-explanatory since most of these will be done on Grunts; just aim for the head and nail the little bastards. For the Ultra Grunts, you will need to shoot off their helmets first to score the headshots, but it will only take one extra shot. You will likely also get some of these headshots done while working on "The T.G. Opposition" challenge as you will likely not always have the shotgun.
