Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 10/2/12

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

The Challenges:
Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 3000cR
Well, there is something for everyone today, as you will need to play in every main mode to complete all of today's challenge. This challenge, per the usual, is simply asking you to score a hundred enemy kills cumulatively in any of the game modes of Reach. This should not, at all be an issue since the "Hyper Lethal Vector" challenge has you going for a hundred headshots in Firefight, "Triple Thrill" will have you getting at least fifteen or so kills, and then you still need to put some time into the Weekly Challenge which should also generate a bunch of kills. All in all, no extra work needed for this one.

Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 100 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3000cR
This should only take you a single game to complete if you have the right setup. Now, you will want to aim for the Score Attack playlist and, more specifically, Gruntpocalypse. This gametype will start you with a DMR (which is a headshot capable weapon) and all of your enemies will be Grunts. Grunts are the easy enemies and, sparing the Ultras, can all be killed with a single shot to the head. Ultras will take two shots as you need to knock of their helmets first. You will face about a hundred and twenty in one game, so you at least need to headshot a hundred of them and you can have this done in a single game. Do with the other twenty what you will.

Just a Shower - Complete any Campaign mission on Normal or harder with Thunderstorm on. - 4000cR
This is a pretty dumbed-down version of the campaign challenge we normally get as this one only as one skull (Thunderstorm which will upgrade all enemies), only has to be on Normal difficulty, and you can die as much as you want. Ironically, the credit value is about the same as usual. Now, doing a speedrun of Nightfall is still the fastest option as it will take only seven to ten minutes to complete. Guide for speedrunning through the level can be found here. You can also play through levels like Winter Contingency, as it is a shorter one, but that will still take longer. If doing Nightfall, I would at least play on Heroic to make progress on the "Flawless Cowboy" commendation.

Triple Thrill - Earn any 3 Sprees in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
So, this challenge will be a little iffy. There is nothing saying whether or not these sprees can be any type, or must be killing sprees. I'm writing this guide in the hopes that they can be any kind, but be warned that this may be for naught. Now, a spree in multiplayer Matchmaking is five kills or any other specific action. Are preferred method for this will be to hop into the Living Dead playlist. In there, you can score you typical Killing Sprees, but also Zombie Killing Sprees and Shotgun Sprees as long as you are a survivor. You can try for this as you start out and only use the shotgun, but thin the enemy out from range and you will make it a lot easier on yourself. This may take two or three games to accomplish.

  2. I can confirm that it is any type of spree. So killing or weapon will work. Also when it says "Earn any 3 sprees" it's safe to say it's killing and weapon.
