The Challenges:
Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 3000cR
Well, you will be playing multiple games of Firefight Matchmaking today for the other Daily Challenge and, as the typically number of kills in the Firefight playlist (not Score Attack) are about eighty to a hundred kills, two games should be enough to take care of this challenge at a maximum. If you happen to play any other mode before this, those kills should count as well since the challenge says that the kills can be obtained "in any game mode in Reach." Nothing to worry about though and should be done pretty quick.

Above the Law - Complete a Round in Firefight Matchmaking without dying. - 2000cR
This challenge is one of the main reasons I am suggesting that you play in the standard Firefight playlist. Surviving a round (five waves for those who do not remember) of Firefight can certainly be difficult by yourself so having teammates just makes it easier. You only need to survive the first Round for this challenge, though it is likely that not surviving the first round will make all other rounds not count. Regardless, just aim for the first round. Hang back and stick to ranged weapons but remember to watch your flank. Arcadefight NEP is probably the best playlist for this challenge and I would stick to the larger maps like Beachhead or Glacier where you can hide via the jetpack.

The T.G. Opposition - Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the Shotgun. - 3000cR
The Shotgun, albeit, is somewhat useless in Firefight since you should plan on never really letting enemies get close enough to use it. However, since the challenge stipulates that we use it, we have little choice, especially if you are going for the Weekly Challenge. Now, Score Attack, sadly, is not a great place for Shotgun kills as they are simply hard to find in that playlist. The standard Firefight playlist will have some though. I believe that one of the loadouts for Arcadefight has the Shotgun, so abuse the hell out of that. A hundred kills will definitely take a few games and you will need to really actively try for it.

That Pink Mist - Kill 70 enemies with a Supercombine from the Needler or Needle Rifle in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2000cR
This will actually be the hardest challenge of the day. The only enemies that you can really get Supercombine kills on outright from the start of the gamer are Elites and Brutes. All other enemies are either too weak or too shielded for the Supercombine to be effective. This means that you need the Mythic Skull to turn on to make the Supercombine kills easier. Seventy is a ton, however, and will take two or three games to hit. Again, Arcadefight NEP is your best bet as the FRG loadout also has a Needler with it. Try for this on a small or medium sized map as you will likely get very little kills on a large map. Also, as already said, expect most of your kills to come on the second round and later.
