The Challenges:
Fire When Ready - Kill 30 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 2100cR
As usual for Fridays, it is time for multiplayer Matchmaking, and a lot of it. Today is a little iffy on whether or not the other challenges will take care of this one, asking you to score thirty kills over the day in multiplayer Matchmaking. Most likely you will be done thanks to the other challenges, it simply matters how frugal you are with your kill. I do not envision any extra games being necessary for this challenge, but if you need some, just play a single games of whatever you enjoy and typically get a bunch of kills with (Grifball for me) and you should have it all taken care of.

Now I have a Machine Gun - Earn 20 kills with automatic weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2000cR
Automatic weapons are typically the starting weapons that we immediately try to trade for something else, which is typically because they are only useful up close and, at that point, we would rather have a Shotgun. Now, automatic weapons include the AR, Needler, Plasma Rifle, Plasma Repeater, and Brute Spiker (though you are not likely to see the Spiker in multiplayer). Team Slayer and Multi Team will almost always have you starting the game with the AR so these are your best bets unless you can get Elite Slayer and then you can start with the Needler. You will really need to exclusively focus on getting kills with automatic weapons and only doing that. Quicker you get it done, the quicker you can move on to better weapons.

Multiplier - Earn 3 multikills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 3000cR
A multi kill is earned in multiplayer matchmaking when you score multiple kills within four seconds of each other. You can do this for up to ten kill to score nine multi kills but, after that, you need to reset the counter by waiting longer than then minutes. For most, this challenge will be completed by scoring three Double Kills as they are the easiest to obtain but throwing in a Triple Kill as well will make your life a bit easier. I would wait and do this challenge last as you have decent chances of completing this while working on the "Now I have a Machine Gun" and "Not as Clumsy or Random..." challenges. If you do not have it after those, do a game of Grifball and you should have no trouble. Remember, this needs to be done in a single game.

Not as Clumsy or Random... - Earn 5 kills with precision weapons in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
Now, precision weapons are the ones which everyone wants to use and this challenge is best taken care of in a playlist which facilitates the use and distribution of these weapons. That means you will want to play in Team Snipers or Team SWAT (one clearly having Snipers and the other having DMRs). Any headshots scored in those gametypes will be one hit kills and five is well below what you should be hitting on average. Along with "Multiplier" this is the easiest challenge of the day so just have fun with it. Likely, you can get this challenge done in a bunch of other playlists as well but, if you are having trouble, head to the ones listed above. Now, get to shooting.
