The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
This is pretty much a joke of a challenge. I'm not exactly sure why this is here and what the point is since it is completely overshadowed by the "More Like In Post" challenges. This challenge is asking you to score a hundred and twenty kills, which you can get in a standard game of Score Attack, while the "More Like In Post" challenge wants you to get a thousand kills on a particular map. One seem superfluous, doesn't it? Guess this is a consolation prize for anyone who simply cannot get a thousand kills today.

Be Their Huckleberry - Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the pistol. - 2500cR
This Magnum Pistol, as long as you have the correct enemies in the correct playlist, if definitely a manageable weapon and getting a hundred kills is not at all a problem. The pistol is a headshot capable weapon which means that Grunts are the easiest targets for you. Your preferred playlist should be Score Attack then and the preferred gametype is Gruntpocalypse which is all Grunts, all the time. All of them can be killed via the headshot but remember that ammunition is not unlimited, so remember where the ammo crates are. Might also be a good idea to do this on outpost.

J.H. Death Machine - Kill 40 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the Grenade Launcher. - 2000cR
This is the one challenge that, so to speak, throws a wrench into the plans and will cause some trouble (i.e. take more time) for you. The Grenade Launcher is an okay weapon, but it is not seen much in the Score Attack playlist, which you will be in for the "More Like In Post" challenge. Now, if you can get the gametype Grenade Attack while working on "More Like In Post" then you can get this done with little effort but, most likely, you will need to venture into the Firefight playlist once that challenge is completed and aim for Arcadefight. One of the loadouts in that gametype is the Grenade Launcher and you should be able to get it done relatively easily. There is a possibility it will take to games, however, so be warned.

More Like In Post - Kill 1000 enemies on Outpost in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3000cR
This is the challenge that will certainly take the longest to complete today. A thousand kills, which is nothing to bat an eye at, will take you about nine games to complete if you are in the Score Attack playlist. Typically, a game like Gruntpocalypse or 2X Score Attack will get you a hundred and twenty kills, which nine games of will have you at a thousand and eighty kills. There is no guarantee that you will always get outpost, but just keep voting for none of the options as long as you can. You can try for this in the Firefight playlist, but the likelihood of getting the map and then having everyone pick it is very low. Nine quick games of 2X Score Attack or Gruntpocalypse and you are done.
