The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 400 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2000cR
So, you will be playing in all the various modes today but there is no global challenge asking you to get a bunch of kills. Instead we have a challenge restricted to a single mode asking you to get a bunch of kills. It is always pretty much one or the other. Regardless of the game mode you choose, Score Attack or standard Firefight, this challenge will take you four games to complete. You can hit about a hundred and twenty kills There are no other Firefight related challenges so feel free to complete this challenge whenever you feel like it.

Single Wield - Earn 100 kills with small arms weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 3000cR
This is, frankly, one of the more annoying challenges that we can be handed. It is not really difficult, just a lengthy grind. So, small arms weapons in Reach include the Magnum Pistol, the Needler, the Plasma Pistol, and the Brute Spiker. You will only really get to use the pistol and the Needler in normal gameplay as the Plasma Pistol is useless and the Brute Spiker is not at all common. Now, in terms of playlists, you are best off aiming for Multi Team and Team SWAT. In Multi Team you can get gametypes like Elites Slayer where you can focus on Needler kills and Team SWAT has SWAT Magnums where you can do just Pistols. Plan for ten or so kills a game so this challenge will take about ten games to complete. Good luck.

Golden Opportunity - Find and kill the Gold Ranger-class Elite in any Campaign mission on Heroic or harder. - 5343cR
Guess it is time for everyone to go on a small on target BoB Hunt. What joy. Now, a BoB (Born-on-Board or Gold Ranger-class Elite) is a rare type of enemy that pops up in every level but only on Heroic or Legendary difficulties. Sometimes they appear but other times they do not. One of the highest appearing ones, at least for me, has been on the mission ONI: Swordbase. You can load up Rally Point Bravo and precede to the base. The first location he may appear is at the top of the ramp running to the original starting point for the level. Track him down fast as he will eventually disappear. The second place he may appear is further in, near the Shotgun spawn for multiplayer. He is very easy to flank and assassinate. If he does not appear at either of those, you can easily restart the mission and try again.

Credits for Completion - Complete 5 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2500cR
Thankfully, you will not have to work too hard on this challenge today as five games are pretty easy to complete. All the work for this challenge will be done for you as you will be completing likely ten or so games for the "Single Wield" challenge. Do remember that you cannot quit from these games, lose connection, or get booted and have them still count towards completion of the challenge. You will have to play through all of them from start to finish. Will not be hard at all so take your time. Relax.
