Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 9/14/12

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

The Challenges:

Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 3000cR
It is a little iffy as to whether the challenges today will get this one done for you. It all hinges on the "Inclement Weather" challenge and whether you play through Nightfall or Winter Contingency. Since you likely still need to make progress on the Weekly Challenge (scoring two hundred multikills in multiplayer Matchmaking), I would recommend Nightfall and then just going crazy in the Grifball playlist to score kills and multikills. It looks like a win-win situation to me.

Light Fuse, Run Away - Kill 4 enemies with grenades in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2100cR
This will likely prove to be a decently hard challenge for some, especially people like me since I am horrible with grenades. What I have found to be a great playlist, however, for scoring grenade kills is the Multi Team playlist. In this playlist, especially if you can get an objective gametype, enemies tend to congregate near the middle of the map. You can easily just toss some grenades in there and score easy kills. Getting to four should not be too problematic, but can take a few games if people constantly pick Rocket Hog Race (You know who you are and I can hardly put into words how much I hate you!). Try to use Plasma Grenades a lot as well since, if you can stick someone going into a pile, you can score a ton of kills and multikills. Expect this to take two or three games.

Fourth Horseman - Earn 5 multikills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2500cR
So, a multikills is multiple kills scored within two seconds of each other. You typically know these as Double Kills, Triple Kills, et cetera. The quest that you are asking now is, where do I best get these. Well, like the Weekly Challenge, which calls for two hundred of these over this week, I will urge you to play in the Grifball playlist as it is the best for scoring multikills. You can actually hit about fifteen to twenty multikills in a game, or more if you are lucky. I would recommend doing this challenge last as "Light Fuse, Run Away" will take a bit more and you may score five multikills while working on it.

Inclement Weather - Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic or harder with the Thunderstorm Skull on. - 3000cR
Guess they are not sticking to Multiplayer Fridays anymore, since this is a campaign challenge, if you could not tell. Now, the Thunderstorm Skull causes all enemies to be upgraded except for those who are already at their max level (Ultras, Generals, and such). Like it is for every challenge in which we have to run through a campaign mission, Nightfall will be our best bet to complete this one. Load it up on Heroic with the Thunderstorm skull on and follow this guide to run through the level. Expect it to take about ten minutes and you can always run through Winter Contingency if you do not want to play Nightfall, though it is longer that way.

    1. Really appreciate it. Can't access "game" sites at work (stupid filters). So your blog lets me plan a bit. Not that I do much of the Multiplayer (house can't get broadband, stupid rural area!), but I try to always do the Campaign ones. (I'm guessing Firefight only works if you involve others online?) That and I am having a ***** of a time trying to unlock the Waypoint armors. Damn thing keeps telling me my file is having issues. Uggg, can't wait til we get Cable or Fiber out here.
