The Challenges: 
Gunslinger - Kill 150 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 5500cR
Well, to be honest, the other challenges today will not get you to a hundred and fifty kills, by a long shot. You will get, maybe, somewhere near forty or fifty kills. This means that, for the remaining kills, you need to just play and have fun. The easiest way to score kills will be in playlists like Grifball, Invasion, or Multi Team, though Grifball will be the fastest. Just have fun and score kills. That is all there is to it.


No 'I' in Team - Earn 8 assists in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
An assist is earned when you deal forty percent health damage to an enemy that is later killed by someone else. The key to scoring assists is to stay near someone who can steal the kill whenever possible. Multi Team ends up being pretty much the best playlist for this challenge since they are about nine different targets for you and nine different people who can steal the kill to give you an assists. Eight in a game will take some work though so make sure you are actively stopping once you have damaged someone, even if it kills you, so you can score the assist.

Headshot Honcho - Kill 11 enemies with headshots in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2640cR
You really should not have much trouble with challenge as long as you have headshot-capable weapons in the right situations. First off, headshot capable weapon in Reach include the DMR, Magnum Pistol, Needle Rifle, Sniper Rifle, and the Covenant Focus Rifle. Jump into team Snipers or Team SWAT and you can easily score headshots with the Sniper Rifle or DMR respectively. Eleven kills should not even take a full game so expect this challenge to be done pretty damn quick.

Sweep the Leg - Perform an Assassination in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
To perform an assassination, you will need to get behind an opponent and hold down the melee button. This will trigger an assassination animation that needs to mostly complete for the kill to count. Now, you just need a single assassination, which is not that hard to come by. Get the "No 'I' in Team" and "Headshot Honcho" challenges done first and then work on this one because there is a decent chance you can get an assassination done while working on those. If not, head to Team Snipers on a small map like Countdown or Uncaged/The Cage.
