Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 9/8/12

The Challenges:

Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
I believe this is the first time this week that the other Daily Challenges are not going to take care of the generic "Kill X enemies" challenge that we always get. We need a hundred and eighty kills today in any mode total. You will get about twelve or so for the "Not as Clumsy or Random..." challenge, hundred and twenty for the "Scoped" challenge, and around ten or so if you do a Nightfall speedrun for the "Foggy Notion" challenge. That has you about forty kills short of the hundred and eighty needed for this challenge. Now, your best bet will be to play a second game of Firefight to get the kills or to just play multiplayer until you hit the hundred and eighty. The choice is yours.

Not as Clumsy or Random... - Earn 5 kills with precision weapons in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
Thankfully, this challenge is very, very easy and should only take a single game to complete. The trick is to make sure that you are using the rights playlist and gametype for the challenge. For our purposes, needing kills with precision weapons (DMR, Sniper Rifle, Needle Rifle, and Covenant Beam Rifle), we will want to play in either the Team Snipers or Team SWAT playlist which use the Sniper Rifle and DMR respectively. Five kills will be easy enough to hit in a single game as you should be hitting ten to fifteen kills per game anyway. One game and then just move on to the other challenges.

Scoped - Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with precision weapons. - 2000cR
For this challenge, asking you to score a hundred kills in Firefight Matchmaking with precision weapons (i.e. DMR, Sniper, etc.), like usual, you simply need to know the right playlist in which to go for it. Score Attack should do just find today as you can get the 2X Score Attack gametype in that playlist. The starting weapon for that gametype is the DMR but you will not have unlimited ammunition. The double damage will make your life easier, however. Now, you will score a hundred and twenty kills in this gametype if you finish within the time limit and only use the DMR. Done in one game so move along.

Foggy Notion - Complete a Campaign mission on Heroic with Cloud and Famine on. - 2500cR
Well, as is customary with any challenge asking up to complete any campaign mission with random skulls on, a speedrun of Nightfall is our best bet. Since you can do this on Heroic, instead of Legendary, it become slightly easier as well. Now, the Cloud Skull will hide your radar, which is not going to hurt a lot on a Nightfall speedrun, and the Famine Skull makes it so all guns on the ground have half as much ammunition in them when you pick them up. The speedrun should take about ten minutes to complete and a guide to do so can be found right here. You can do this solo or co-op, but it does not really matter.
