Halo 4 War Games Daily and Weekly Challenges - 12/17/12

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

The Challenges:  
To Be Precise - Get 15 kills with a Precision Loadout Weapon. - 1250 XP
Precision Loadout Weapons in Halo 4 include the DMR, BR, Sniper Rifle, Covenant Carbine, Covenant Beam Rifle, Light Rifle, and the Binary Cannon. The Magnum Pistol is not included in this list. You will primarily score kills with these weapons via headshots once your targets shields have been eliminated (of course there are no shields in SWAT). You will not need to go out of your way for this challenge as fifteen kills is not a lot and should be gained during regular gameplay as these do not need to be in a single game for this challenge. Just make sure that you are trying to use precision weapons.

We Are The Champions - Win 9 matchmaking Slayer matches. - 2750 XP
And, suddenly for no reason at all, we are back to the bullshit of winning nine games in a day. It is not as bad today since it is for Slayer matches, but later in the week it will get worse when it asks for other various gametypes which take much longer. Now, the playlist that you play in for this challenge will largely depend on your personal preference and skill. Infinity Slayer, Big Team Infinity Slayer, SWAT, and Infinity Challenge Slayer are the options available to you, as well as Crimson DLC but that one has several gametypes to choose from. Be prepared to play well more than nine games, however. As well, try to get teammates with you who communicate, making this all much easier.

The Weekly Challenges:
Spartan Takedown - Kill 75 Players. - 4100 XP
Wow. This looks challenging. Yeah, not really. This challenge looks a hell of a lot easier than the "We Are The Champions" challenge for today, but you get more credits for this one. Now, this can easily be completed in a single day and should take you about five or six games to complete. This is, of course, assuming that you are averaging about thirteen to fifteen kills a game as a lower average will require another game of two for this challenge. Just point and laugh at this one, then move on.


The Pistolero - Get 15 kills with a Secondary Weapon in a single match. - 6100 XP
So this Weekly Challenge, unlike "Spartan Takedown" is actually challenging, though it would fit better as a Daily Challenge than a Weekly one. Now, secondary weapons in Halo 4 include the Magnum Pistol, the Plasma Pistol, and the Boltshot. The Magnum Pistol is pretty much your best bet since it gives you the best range, accuracy, and versatility. The best playlist to get this kills in will likely be SWAT. Though there is no SWAT Magnums gametype present in the playlist yet, all the enemies will have no shields therefore making a headshot an instakill. Try for a smaller map like Adrift or Haven as all the other maps are way to large.
