The Challenges:
Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
No real reason to worry about this challenge today, for a very simple reason; the Weekly Challenge. You can probably rack up about forty to fifty kills today from the two multiplayer matchmaking challenge, "I'm Rubber, You're Glue" and "Cook 'em, Clean 'em!", but not much more.  The Weekly Challenge  will have you playing at least five or so games of Firefight Matchmaking in the standard Firefight playlist. This will likely get you about four hundred to five hundred kills today. So, that is why you do not need to worry about a challenge asking you to get a hundred and eighty kills.

I'm Rubber, You're Glue - Earn 2 sticky grenade Kills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2200cR
Earning sticky grenade (Plasma Grenade) kills is definitely something of an art form for some players but, for me, it is just blind luck as I am terrible with sticky grenades. Regardless of that, you will need to get two sticky grenade kills in a single game today to walk away with this challenge. Multi Team is likely your best option since it is the playlist in which you are most likely to see the Elite Slayer gametype pop up. Elite Slayer will have you spawn with a single plasma grenade every time you spawn so it is ideal for garnering sticky grenades kills. Since you are just going for the sticky grenade kills, do not be afraid to die going for them. Just get your two and then go crazy.

Cook 'em, Clean 'em! - Kill 20 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking while you're jet-packing. - 2400cR
I hate the jet-pack. Honestly, it is one of the stupidest things to have in multiplayer and only every serves to make the person using it an easier target for everyone else. However, over the day you will need to score twenty kills while jet-packing to satisfy this challenge. This will be a pain but here are some tips. Multi Team and Team Slayer are the best playlist for this, as most gametypes in these will have the jet-pack, but watch out for the "Pro" gametypes. They will not have jet-packs. Now, you need to actually be jet-packing when you score the kills. Not falling, not just in the air. The jet-pack ability needs to be in use and not drained. And it does not matter when you threw the grenade, it matters when it kills your opponent. Expect this to take two or three games to complete.

Stronger, Harder - Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic with Famine, Tough Luck, and Thunderstorm on. - 4000cR
So, I would recommend completing this challenge first if you are going for all four today as it is the easiest and the fastest to complete. The preferred method for this challenge is performing a speedrun of Nightfall which can be completed in about seven to ten minutes. Use the LASO guide located here for how to speedrun the level. The skulls will have little effect on the speedrun as the Famine Skull will lessen all ammo on the ground, the Tough Luck Skull will have enemies dodging more often, and the Thunderstorm Skull will upgrade all enemies. Make sure you are on at least Heroic or Legendary difficulty to complete this challenge.
