The Challenges:
Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 400 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 4000cR
So it seems that this week the multiplayer focus day will be Saturday instead of Friday and I'm sure we can deal with that. It actually probably works out better this way as it makes challenges like "The Magic Number" even easier to complete due to most people having more time. Now, for this challenge, well, we will need to go outside the realm of multiplayer to complete it and that means Firefight. The other challenges today will probably not even get you a hundred kills, but if you can hit around sixty or so, you will only need three games in the Score Attack playlist to finish this challenge off. 2X Score Attack and Gruntpocalypse in the Score Attack playlist are your best bets.

Sticky Icky Icky - Earn 4 sticky grenade Kills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 1300cR
Sticky Grenades are fun, when used properly (i.e. sticking the other team, not teammates) but I have always sucked with them. I am really good at throwing grenades just past an opponent's head, between his/her legs, or in between the arm and the body. If you are like me, the trick is to get really close to your opponent or to have a crap ton of grenades. Multi Team seems to provide a great mixture of both strategies if you can get the Elite Slayer gametype. This gametype will have all players as Elites and you always start with one Plasma Grenade. Now, you actually need to stick your opponent and have them die from your grenade to get credit. Sticking them and then having the kill stolen is no good. As well, killing opponents with the grenade you stuck to someone else will also not count towards this challenge. Expect this to take two or three games to complete.

Go Right Ahead Folks - Earn a First Strike in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
A First Strike medal is awarded when you score the first kill of a round in multiplayer Matchmaking. That is right, I said round, not game. The key to get this challenge is to be either really lucky, or to give yourself a bunch of chances. I can help you with one, but not the other. You want to aim for games modes that have multiple rounds. 1-Flag CTF, Assault, and Invasion, are always options but those rounds tend to take a while. Instead, I would aim for Living Dead, which always has three rounds, or Grifball, which always has at least three rounds, but can also have five. I would expect this challenge to take a few games but you need to complete seven today anyway, so have fun.

The Magic Number - Complete 7 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 3000cR
Seven games to be played today and, hopefully, most of them will be taken care of by the other challenges today, sparing you getting almost all of them done on your first try. Do not worry about the four hundred kills for "Shootin' and Lootin'" as those will largely be taken care of by some excursions in Firefight. If you have yet to complete the Weekly Challenge, I would definitely suggest getting some games of Grifball in so you can kill two Grunts with one Sniper round (see what I did there?). Try not to get overly irritated and just play to have fun. Also stand up, walk around, and take a break about half way through these seven games. It's good for your circulation.
