Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 11/30/12

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

The Challenges:
Gunslinger - Kill 75 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2250cR
So, you will likely need to go out of your way to complete this challenge asking for seventy-five kills in multiplayer Matchmaking. "Secondary Fire" will get you, maybe, twenty to thirty kills and "Close Talking will get you about thirty to thirty-five kills. That still leaves you short. For the remaining kills, play whatever you want and have fun, it's Friday!



Secondary Fire - Earn 25 assists today in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2875cR
It has been a while since we have had an assist challenge, but it is nice to mix stuff up every once and a while. Now, you will earn an assist when you deal at least forty percent damage to an enemy who is killed by another player before that health is regained. My go-to mode for this has always been Multi Team since there are so many enemies and some many people to steal the kills from you. Stick to high-traffic areas and actively try not to kills people, just damage them. Should take three to four games to complete.

The Challenges:

Spartan Takedown - Kill 20 Players. - 1350 XP
This is a relatively easy challenge to complete and you should have no trouble completing it in a few games today. These kills do not need to be in a single match, though it is likely that it can be done in a single match. If you are having trouble scoring kills, go to an objective gametype playlist like King of the Hill or Oddball and that should make it somewhat easier. You will likely complete this while working on "Drop Bears" so no need to worry about it.



Drop Bears - Assassinate 3 Players in a single match. - 2750 XP
Again, how I wish Team Snipers was still here. Regardless, there are still a few other playlists where you can complete this challenge. First off, to score an assassination you need to hold the melee button down while you are behind an enemy. This will trigger an animation that needs to mostly complete if you want credit for the kill. Team Slayer Pro is a good playlist because no one has radar and that allows you to sneak behind people on the smaller maps. Another good option is Regicide, even though I hate it. If players are focusing on the King, you have a decent chance at scoring some assassinations. FFA Throwback may be a decent option as well, but I have yet to really play it.

Halo 4 Spartan Ops Challenges Guide - 11/29/12

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

The Challenges:
Shield Break - Kill 70 Jackals. - 1500 XP
So, it unfortunately seems like we will be stuck with these bland cookie-cutter challenges now that Spartan Ops challenges have been pared down to two challenges a week instead of two. This challenge has you scoring seventy Jackal kills this week. This includes all Jackals, ranged and shield-bearing. THe level with the most Jackals is the final chapter, The Didiact's Gift. If your are soloing this episode, you will more than hit the seventy you need by the time you are done. If you are play with friends, you may end up short so replay with fifth chapter to finish off the kills you need.

The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 250 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3500cR
Well, there will be no issues in completing this challenge today. The "Fortified Court" challenge has you getting a hundred and twenty-five kills and the "Flat Tire" challenge has you going for ten vehicle kills which will likely get you about four hundred to five hundred kills. See? Taken care of.




Fortified Court - Kill 125 enemies on Courtyard in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2500cR
Courtyard is a really easy map focused on a, you guess it!, courtyard which is divided in half by a bridge. A single game in the Score Attack playlist will get you about a hundred and twenty kills and leave you just short for this challenge. Play a second game to make up the difference. Crashsite is your best option but will be hard to get. With Crashsite, you can just die once you have the kills to end the game.

The Challenges:

Quick on the Trigger - Earn 3 Combat Skill Medals in a single match. - 2650 XP
We have had this challenge a few times before but, in case anyone does not remember, here are the various combat skill medals you can earn: the Killjoy, Headcase, From the Grave, Reload This, and Showstopper medals. You just need three of these in a single game which, actually, is probably more common in Halo 4 than in Reach. Killjoys and Showstoppers will likely be the least common so focus on the other medals. Use precision weapons (DMR, BR, Light Rifle, Sniper) to score Headcase medals and then use grenades when you are near death for the From the Grave medal. Reload This is pretty much dependent on the other player but people need to reload their weapons. Should take a game or two to complete.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 11/28/12

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

The Challenges:
Fire When Ready - Kill 50 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 3000cR
So there is only one other multiplayer Matchmaking challenge today, being "Came From Behind" and it will, in no way, get you to fifty kills in multiplayer Matchmaking, unless you are not actually trying for assassinations. However, once that challenge is done, I would recommend just having fun in multiplayer and you should have the challenge done in a few games. Head to Grifball if you are short on time.


Be Their Huckleberry - Kill 50 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the pistol. - 2500cR
This challenge will be very easy and simple to complete as long as you have the right playlist and gametypes. You will want to jump into Score Attack and play Gruntpocalypse. This gametype is all Grunts, which you can score easy headshots on, but, more importantly, it gives you a Magnum Pistol. Just headshot fifty Grunts with it and you are all set.




Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 11/28/12

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

The Challenges:

Got Backup - Get 12 kills with a Secondary Weapon. - 1250 XP
So, unlike other times we have had this challenge, it does not need to be completed in a single game this time. Secondary weapons are specifically the Magnum Pistol, the Plasma Pistol, and the Blotshot, which are specifically indicated in your loadout customization as secondary weapons. Most of your kills with these weapons will come from the Magnum or the Bolt Shot, not likely the Plasma Pistol. As well, you are going to need to score nine wins in Slayer matches today for the "We are the Champions" challenge. During that time, as long as you try occasionally, you can score some secondary weapon kills.

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

The Challenges:
Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
So, generally easy challenges today and you will end up playing in every mode of Halo Reach. This challenge, however, will not be taken care of by the other challenges. The number or remaining kills will likely be minimal, however, so I would either jump into a game in the Score Attack playlist or do another game of Grifball. Either one will get it done.



Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 100 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3000cR
To score headshots, you need a headshot capable weapon. In Reach, the DMR, Needle Rifle, Sniper Rifle, Focus Beam Rifle, and the Magnum Pistol are all headshot capable weapons. Your best bet is to go for Gruntpocalypse in the Score Attack playlist where every enemy is a Grunt and can be easily headshot.

The Challenges:

Game Over, Man! - Complete 4 matchmaking War Games matches. - 1250 XP
Well, it seems that we get one really easy challenge and then a pretty hard one. If you are having trouble guessing, this is the really easy one. Now, this challenge does not require you to be present for an entire game to count. You just need to be there at the end when the score is totaled. Four games should not at all be a problem and you will more than likely complete this challenge while working on the "I Predict a Riot" challenge. If you are not going for that challenge, which I completely understand, just try to have fun and play through some games.

Halo Reach Daily and Weekly Challenges - 11/26/12

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

The Challenges:
Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2000cR
Well, another day and another round of challenges.  As is usual for a challenge like this, asking for a measly hundred kills, will be completely taken care of by the other challenges today.  "Demon" will get you about Three hundred and something kills and "Who's the Big Winner" will likely get you about two hundred or so kills.  As I said, well taken care of today.



Demon - Kill 50 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3000cR
Even though we have the "Shootin' and Lootin'" challenge asking for a hundred kills, this challenge will take well more than that.  The easiest way to score Elite kills in Firefight Matchmaking is to head to the Score Attack playlist and go for the 2X Score Attack gametype on a small map like Corvette or Courtyard.  The final wave of this gametype will always be twenty or so Elites.  Go for Courtyard so you can hopefully get a Drop-pod of Elites but expect this challenge to take three games to complete.


Halo 4 Campaign Weekly Challenges - 11/26/12

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

The Challenges:
 
Let's Get Mythical! - Complete any campaign mission on Heroic or Higher difficulty with the Mythic Skull. - 2000 XP
You have to wonder if they will end up going through all the skulls eventually or just the ones that make gameplay harder.  I can't wait for the Grunt Birthday Party Skull challenge.  Anyway, the Mythic Skull causes all enemies to have double health in the level.  This will be especially bothersome for enemies like Hunters or Watchers as they cannot be shot in the head for an easy kill.  As usual, the best mission for this challenge is "Dawn" as it is the shortest and easiest.  You can even skip some fights if you have a teammate, though this mission is still easy on Solo.  Your biggest problem on Dawn will be the Elites, but just take your time and go for headshots and all will be fine.


Halo 4 War Games Daily and Weekly Challenges - 11/26/12

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

The Challenges:
Spartan Master Killer - Kill 15 players in a single War Games match. - 2950 XP

In Reach, on average you would hope to hit about twelve kills per slayer game that went to fifty kills.  In Halo 4, however, the kill limit is typically sixty kills (six-hundred points or whatever idiotic crap they want to call it) so you should hope to be hitting a few more kills, more near the number of fifteen.  Objective gametypes will be particularly good for this as they pretty much have no kill limit and will allow you to rack up a bunch of kills.  If you are going for the "Threading the Needle" challenge, you will take care of this one as well.

In the Back - Assassinate 3 players. - 1400 XP

So, you can trigger an assassination when you come up behind an opposing player and hold the melee button.  This will trigger the assassination animation which will need to mostly complete for the assassination to count.  You need three of these during the day, not in a single match, thankfully.  Now, Team Snipers would have been great for this, but that playlist is now gone and replaced by FFA Throwback.  Instead, I would head to Regicide (I hate it, but it is decent for getting assassinations) or Team Slayer Pro.  Team Slayer Pro is likely your best option since no one has radar and you can easily sneak around an enemy on a smaller map and score the assassination.  Remember, just need three today.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 11/25/12

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

The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2000cR
Well, this is your typical "kill some Covies" in Firefight challenge that we see about half of the week.  Today, this challenge is well taken care of due to the "Fortified Court" challenge which has you scoring a hundred and fifty kills on the level Courtyard.  A single game of Firefight will get you a hundred and twenty kills and you will be playing two games for the other challenge.  Move along as this takes zero effort.



Multiplier - Earn 3 multikills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 3000cR
A multikill is earned in Reach when you score multiple kills within four seconds of each other.  For this challenge, you will need three of these in a single game and they are best earned in the Grifball playlist.  Grifball equips you with a Gravity Hammer and an Energy Sword in an enclosed space on teams of four.  This is perfect for getting multikills and just tons of kills in general.  A single game will get this done for you.


Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 11/25/12

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

The Challenges:
The Kill-O-Tron - Earn 3 multikill medals in a single match. - 1350 XP

Well, a multikill medal is earned when you score multiple kills within four and a half seconds of each other.  Two will get you a Double Kill, three a Triple, four an Overkill, and so on and so forth.  The key to getting multikills is to have a large number of enemies in a small space and a weapon powerful enough to kill a lot of them at once or in quick succession.  You will be playing a lot of Flood today for the "Infected" challenge and hopefully you will get this done in there.  Otherwise, I would suggest something like Big Team Infinity Slayer or Dominion for all your multikill needs.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 11/24/12

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

The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
So a standard game of Firefight Matchmaking, at least in the Score Attack playlist, will earn you about a hundred and twenty kills. That somewhat sucks for this challenge as the random few enemies will accidentally kills themselves. So play a single game of 2X Score Attack on a map like Beachhead or Courtyard where you can hopefully get a drop-pod with a few extra enemies. Otherwise, a second game will be in your future.


Up Close and Personal - Kill 3 enemies with close quarters combat in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 1000cR
Thankfully, this and "Double Double" can be done in the same match as they can both be done quite easily in Grifball. Close quarters combat kills in Reach are earned with Hammers, Swords, Shotguns, Melees, and Assassinations. Grifball allows you to do all of these, sparing Shotguns, and to do so quite easily. Should take a single game to complete.



Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 11/24/12

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

The Challenges:
I Predict a Riot! - Earn 2 Killing Spree medals in a single match. - 1300 XP
Well, this version of this challenge makes a lot more sense and is much more doable. A Killing Spree in War Games is earned when you score five kills in a row uninterrupted by death or the end of a round. You will need to score two in a single game for this challenge. Now, objective gametypes are the best for this, especially Dominion on a map like Vortex where you can get in the Wraith and just guard a base. As well, Capture the Flag on a map like Ragnarok can yield great results if you can get your hands on a Sniper Rifle. Expect this to take a few games to complete.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 11/23/12

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

The Challenges:
Gunslinger - Kill 75 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2250cR
So, you will actually like need to play an extra game or two just for this challenge, but no worries. Now, you should be scoring at least fifteen kills per game on average but that does not always happen for anyone. Once you have completed all the other challenges, I would recommend jumping into the Grifball playlist as it will allow you to score twenty to thirty kills per game and that will clean up any remaining kills you might need.


This is My Rifle... - Earn 30 kills with precision weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2500cR
So precision weapons in Reach include the DMR, the Sniper Rifle, the Needle Rifle, and the Covenant Beam Rifle. Your best bet for this challenge is playing in Team Snipers or Team SWAT which give you a Sniper Rifle and DMR respectively. Both of those gametypes allow for one-shot, headshot kills and you can easily score about twelve to fifteen kills per game. That means that this challenge will take two to three games to complete.

Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 11/23/12

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

The Challenges:
Threading the Needle - Kill 7 Players with a headshot in a single match. - 1500 XP
And another headshot/precision weapon related challenge. Whoever is deciding these challenges is sure unimaginative. Regardless, to score headshots, you need a headshot capable weapon which includes the DMR, BR, Covenant Carbine, Light Rifle, Magnum Pistol, Sniper Rifle, Binary Rifle, and the Beam Rifle. Damn that list is a lot long than it was in Reach. Now, Certain gametypes, like Team Snipers or SWAT allow you to score one-shot headshots kills, but play your King of the Hill matches first. Seven is not a lot to score in a single game so you will likely get it done without trying.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 11/22/12

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

The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
Well, it is Firefight today, as if you needed to be reminded of that fact, and the Firefight challenges today are actually quite easy. First off, this one is asking you to score a hundred and twenty kills in Firefight Matchmaking. Thankfully, this will be well taken care of by the other challenges so move along and collect the easy credits.



Unto The Breach - Kill 150 enemies on Corvette in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1125cR

Corvette is actually one of the more enjoyable maps for Firefight as it is nice and symmetrical and, most importantly, small. A standard game of Firefight will get you a hundred and twenty kills which means that you will need to play two games to score a hundred and fifty kills on this map.




Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 11/22/12

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

The Challenges:
One, Two, Three, Four... - Earn 9 Multikills medals. - 1500 XP
Now, a Multikill is earned when you score multiple kills within four and a half seconds of each other. Two kills will earn you a Double Kill, three a Triple, four an Overkill, and so on and so forth. Now, playlists with large number of players, like Big Team and Dominion, will likely be your best bet for this challenge. Vehicles can also make this a lot easier, the Wraith especially. Luckily, these nine multikills do not need to be done in a single match but just over the entire day. My advice would be to go and get your Dominion matches taken care of first. If you have not hit nine multikills by then, try some other gametypes to try and finish them off.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 11/21/12

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

The Challenges:
Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
This challenge should not at all be an issue today thanks to the "Demon" challenge below. The "Demon" challenge will have you playing two to three games of Firefight Matchmaking which will get you about two-hundred and forty to three-hundred and sixty kills. Both of these totals are well over a hundred and eighty so just enjoy your free credits.



Demon - Kill 50 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3000cR
This is pretty much the same challenge as we had yesterday, I believe, asking us to score a bunch of Elite kills in Firefight. The best way to go about this is to play the gametype 2X Score Attack in the Score Attack playlist. The final wave of this gametype will always have twenty or so Elites for you to kill. Two games might have you end up just short so be ready to play a third.


Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 11/21/12

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

The Challenges:
Deadeye - Kill 12 Players with a headshot. - 1350 XP
It seems that we are continuing the theme of precision weapon for this week, at least with this challenge. Headshots are easiest to score in SWAT or Team Sniper as both games give you a DMR (or BR) or Sniper respectively and allow you to score one-shot, headshot kill with the supplied weapons. You just need twelve kills overall, not in a single game, which makes this pretty simple and easy to accomplish. These kills do not specifically need to be made with precision loadout weapons either, meaning that the Sniper, Beam Rifle, and Binary Rifle are therefore eligible to score these headshots as well. Should take a game or two to complete.

Tuesday, November 20, 2012

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 11/20/12

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
You should really have no problem getting a hundred kills today thanks to the other challenges. "Flat Tire" will be getting your about three hundred and sixty kills to four hundred and eighty or so. As well, "Credits for Completion" will get you about a hundred or so kills. As you can see, you are very well off even ignoring the "Roast 'em, Toast 'em" challenge.



Flat Tire - Kill 10 enemy vehicles in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2343cR
Guess they could not wait until Thursday to give us this challenge, huh? Well, vehicle are rare in Firefight Matchmaking since they changed how enemies spawn, but no one making the challenges seems to have realized this. So, instead, we will have to abuse the features of the map Holdout to score the vehicle kills. Now, Holdout has static Banshee spawns which will give you a Banshee every two to four minutes. You need to draw the game out as long as possible to get about three to four kills a game. As well, you will want to play Sniper, Rocket, or FRG Attack as vehicle kills in 2X Score Attack will not count for this challenge. Expect to play three to four games for this one.

Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 11/20/12

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

The Challenges:
Game Over, Man! - Complete 4 matchmaking War Games matches. - 1250 XP
Well, if you are going for the "Your Majesty" challenge, then you really do not need to worry about this one, asking you to complete 4 matchmaking War Games matches. The "Your Majesty" challenge is asking you to win nine matchmaking Regicide games so that clearly covers for games completed. Now, as we found out last week, games that you join while they are in progress will count for this challenge, as well as games that you are in from the start. You just need to be in the game once the final outcome is decided and the stats are displayed.

Halo 4 Spartan Ops Weekly Challenges - 11/19/12

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

The Challenges:
I Am the 99 Percent - Kill 40 Elites. - 1750 XP
It is sad how quickly these challenges have become stale. Of course, with the lack of customizations options in Spartan Ops, there is not too much you can actually do, but I would like to see something better than this. Now, if you are going through this episode solo on Legendary, you will get this on the first level. There are tons of Elites throughout this episode, so if you are doing this co-op, even with a full four players, you will likely have no trouble completing this challenge without having to do any extra play-throughs.

Halo Reach Daily and Weekly Challenges Guide - 11/19/12

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

The Challenges:
Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 150 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 5343cR
This challenge today is pretty easy and will not require a large amount of work on your part. In fact, you will be playing to games in the Score Attack playlist for the Demon challenge. A single game in Score Attack will get you a hundred and twenty kills. Two games will put you well over the a hundred and fifty needed for this one.



Demon - Kill 40 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2800cR
Elites are the toughest enemies in the game but, as usual, everything is easier if you have the right gametype and weapons. For us, we will need to be in the Score Attack playlist and aiming for the 2X Score Attack gametype. The final wave of every game will be twenty or so Elites. Two games, and this challenge is done.



Halo 4 Campaign Weekly Challenges - 11/19/12

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

The Challenges:

The Ancient One - Complete Forerunner solo on Legendary difficulty. - 4750 XP
As expected, we are now running through Forerunner, the third mission in the Halo 4 campaign on Legendary in a solo manner. Forerunner is the first level in which you encounter the Prometheans and here are some strategies for them. First off, kill Watchers first. These annoying pests spawn Crawlers, can resurrect Knights, and can randomly shield whoever they feel like. Killing them should always be a priority. For taking down Knights, any sort of automatic weapon (i.e. the AR, Storm Rifle, SAW, Suppressor) are fantastic for taking down their shields. Knights have a very small area in which you can headshot them with precision weapons to score the kill after the shields have been taken out. Remember that when the Covenant shows up, let them and the Prometheans fight. No need to jump into that battle. I actually found this level easier than Requiem, to be honest and hopefully you will too.

Halo 4 War Games Daily and Weekly Challenges - 11/19/12

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

The Challenges:
We Are the Champions - Win 9 matchmaking Slayer matches. - 2750 XP
So, winning a match is something we should all be familiar with due to the Monthly Challenge which is asking for a hundred and seventeen wins this month. Hopefully everyone is well on their way to, or has already completed that challenge. Now, this challenge specifically stipulates winning Slayer matches in War Games this week. Objective gametypes are right out, then, so here are the playlists which will count: Infinity Slayer, Big Team Infinity Slayer, SWAT, Regicide, Flood, Team Slayer Pro, and Team Snipers (whenever it is live). This should not take too long to complete, to be honest, you just need to put some time into it and have a communicative team. Good luck.

Rolling Thunder - Earn 7 Killing Spree Medals. - 1500 XP
In War Games, a spree is earned when you score five kills without dying. The actually medal is called a "Killing Spree" and is then followed by a "Killing Frenzy," "Running Riot," "Rampage," and so on. You will need to earn seven of these today, thankfully not in a single game. Now Dominion was actually a very good playlist for me in terms of getting Sprees, as I could get two or three in a game before dying. I also had luck in playlists like Capture the Flag. Getting a vehicle like a Wraith is always helpful but remember that your goal is to generally stay alive. Do not go out of your way to score kills as that will likely ruin your spree. Will probably take five to nine games to complete.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 11/18/12

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

The Challenges:
Covenant-cide - Kill 120 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 3200cR
So, mostly Firefight today with some multiplayer thrown in at the end. This challenge, asking you to score a hundred and twenty kills, will be well taken care of by the other challenges so no need to worry about anything. Just complete "The T.G. Opposition" and "Hyper Lethal Vector" and you are pretty much all set.




The T.G. Opposition - Kill 100 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the Shotgun. - 3000cR
For this challenge, you need to score a hundred kills with the Shotgun, which means you need to pay Arcadefight in the Firefight playlist. Now, the Shotgun is featured in one of the loadouts and you will want a small map to make sure you have enough targets to kill. Hopefully, you can get a good chunk of this done in a single game, but expect it to spread out over two.


Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 11/18/12

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

The Challenges:
Quick on the Trigger - Earn 3 Combat Skill Medals in a single match. - 2650 XP
The challenges today are rather easy and, surprise, not related to Regicide. Combat Skill Medals include the Killjoy, Headcase, From the Grave, Reload This, and Showstopper medals. You just need three of these in a single game which, actually, is probably more common in Halo 4 than in Reach. Killjoys and Showstoppers will likely be the least common so focus on the other medals. Use precision weapons (DMR, BR, Light Rifle, Sniper) to score Headcase medals and then use grenades when you are near death for the From the Grave medal. Reload This is pretty much dependent on the other player but people need to reload their weapons. Should take a game or two to complete.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 11/17/12

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

The Challenges:
One Spartan Army - Kill 150 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2250cR
This will take two games of Firefight to complete as each game gets you about a hundred and twenty kills in the Score Attack playlist. You will want the first game to be 2X Score Attack for the "Katanarama" challenge but then whatever you want after that. Crashsite is a good idea as it will allow you to die or let the generator explode to legitimately end the game once you have the kills you need.



Cook 'em, Clean 'em! - Kill 5 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking while you're jet-packing. - 1000cR
Well, you will be playing ten games today and during those ten games, you will need to kill five enemies while jetpacking. Not exactly the most arduous of challenges, but it can definitely be annoying. Now, to score a kill while jet-packing, you will need to actually be using that ability, not falling or just in the air. It also matter when the actual kills is made, not when you threw the grenade or started the kill. Five is easy enough and can be done in a single game if you try.


Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 11/17/12

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

The Challenges:
I Predict a Riot - Earn 4 Killing Spree medals in a single match. - 2400 XP
Well, this will certainly be challenging today. A Killing Spree is earned when you score five kills without dying or having the end of a round occur. Killing Sprees, in general, do not seem to be anywhere near as common in Halo 4 as they were in Reach. I would typically tell you to go to any sort of Living Dead playlist, but Flood in Halo 4 is heavily tilted towards the Flood. Playlists with more people, like Big Team Infinity Slayer or Dominion, will give you a better chance at sprees as you can hang back and grab a sniper or another precision weapon. Objective gametypes can also be useful as there is no time limit and you know that most people will be going for the objective. Remember that you can get a spree every five kills up to thirty-five kills.

Halo Reach Daily Challenges Guide - 11/16/12

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

The Challenges:
Fire When Ready - Kill 30 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2100cR
Hopefully, you will have no trouble completing this challenge over the course of the day. Thirty kills is a pretty mediocre amount, in all honesty, and should take no more than three or four games to get. You will be going for assists and assassinations today, so expect that to put a slight hamper on this challenge, but probably not much of one.



Pass the Rock - Earn 20 assists today in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 1500cR
An assists is earned when you deal forty percent health damage to an enemy who is then killed by someone else before regaining that health. Typically, Multi Team is just about the best playlist for this unless you have a group of friends who are coordinated and all going for this challenge. Expect this to take a decent handful of games to complete depending on your luck and your teammates.
