Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 9/22/12

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 250 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 3800cR
So, another all multiplayer Matchmaking day in a row. Really, this is not a horrible thing, especially with some of the credit values for these challenge, but they do make it really iffy as to whether or not this challenge will need any extra work. "Light Fuse, Run Away" and "Neuroscience" are really no worry to use because they are so easy and can be done in a game or two. What you need to focus on is "Who's the Big Winner?" as it will have you playing at least twelve games today. Most likely, you will play more because it is very unlikely that you will win twelve games in a row right out of the gate. Get through the wins and then come back to this challenge. Firefight will probably be best to finish it off.

Light Fuse, Run Away - Kill 4 enemies with grenades in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2100cR
This challenge can actually be harder than it sounds, especially since the kills have to be in a single game. It does not matter the type of grenade, but just that your grenade exploding is what killed your opponent. You may very well get this while working on the "Who's the Big Winner?" challenge but probably not. Get your wins taken care of first and then hope over to Multi Team if need be. There are typically a plethora of targets in this playlist and you can just lob grenades into groups and score kills. Four should be really easy to hit here but if you are having troubles, aim for objective gametypes like Crazy King since you will then know where everyone is heading.

Neuroscience - Kill 10 enemies with headshots in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2400cR
While going for your wins, it will probably be a good idea to vary the playlist you are in every so often just to mix things up. If, for one of those games, you decide to hit up a headshot oriented playlist, that would be a great idea as well. To score a headshot, you need a headshot capable weapons (DMR, Magnum Pistol, Sniper, Needle Rifle, Covenant Beam Rifle) and one of the best ways to get one is to player Team Snipers or Team SWAT. These playlists will always have you starting with these headshot capable weapons and every enemy can be killed with a single headshot. Ten kills should really only take you a single game but this might take two attempts for some.

Who's the Big Winner? - Win 12 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 10000cR
Twelve games to win today, but at least we do get a pretty decent credit value from the challenge. And, better yet, it is the weekend so people will actually have time to complete this challenge. Now, there are no real rules or surefire tricks to getting wins fast, besides boosting, but here are some guidelines to help you along. First off, aim for gametypes that have no more than two teams since they greatly lower your chances of being in the top spot. Secondly, stick to gametypes that have less than or only five players per team. Anything above that and you are really not in control of the outcome, it seems. Thirdly, try to play with friends as you will communicate much better with them and you will also already know their tendencies and what not. Finally, if it isn't going well, take a break. Take a break, relax, and the try again. Sitting still for twelve games is not good for you anyway.
