Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 9/7/12

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

The Challenges:

Gunslinger - Kill 40 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 3500cR
I am really doubting that the "You Want This, Don't You?" challenge and the "Double Nickels" challenge will hit this forty kill limit for anyone. You would have to have exceedingly good games in a row. I know that I am never that lucky, but maybe you guys (and gals) are. Regardless, you are playing at least four games today for the "Participation Counts" challenge and you should be hitting about twelve or so kills a game in multiplayer Matchmaking. If you are still short, load up a game of Grifball to finish it off.

You Want This, Don't You? - Earn 10 kills with precision weapons in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2500cR
Precision weapons (i.e. DMR, Sniper Rifle, Needle Rifle, and the Covenant Beam Rifle) are my favorites and are keenly featured in two playlists. First playlist is Team SWAT which features players with no shield and DMRs. Typically the maps are medium-sized and games are quick. Ten kills with the DMR should be easy as hell. Your other option is Team Snipers. Snipers will likely be a little more difficult as games can be drown out on the larger maps, like Hemorrhage, and the winning team may not even get fifty kills. If you really want to do Snipers, pick a small map. Remember, these need to be done in a single game.

Double Nickels - Earn 2 Killing Sprees in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 3000cR
In multiplayer Matchmaking, a Killing Spree is awarded when you score five kills in a game without dying or having the round end (a host migration kills this as well). One in a game may be a common occurrence for most but two is likely pushing it so you just need to be in the right playlist. For our purposes, the right playlist will likely be Living Dead since, if you are a survivor for most of the game, you can easily score multiple killing sprees. Currently unsure if weapon sprees will count for this challenge, or Zombie Killing Sprees, but if you get this done, please tell what counted down below. Expect this challenge to take two games to complete as well.

Participation Counts - Complete 4 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2400cR
Well, only four games to complete today for this simple challenge. I expect that this does not bode well for the weekend challenges, however, since we either have a tough one today or in the next two days. With these four games, to count as completed, you cannot quit out, you cannot drop the game and you cannot get booted. If any of those things happen, the game will not count for you challenges or for your stats. You should get this while working on the other challenges, but just play something you enjoy after completing those if you still need a game or two for this challenge.

  1. Weapon sprees do not count for double nickels. it's just 2 Killing Sprees. If you get a killing frenzy it doesn't count that one. So once you get a killing spree you need to die to get the next killing spree.
