Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 1/11/13

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 Pistolero - Get 9 kills with a Secondary Weapon in a single match. - 2350 XP
Secondary weapons in Halo 4 include the Magnum Pistol, the Plasma Pistol, and the Boltshot. You will not be scoring many kills with the Plasma Pistol so do not even worry about it. Since SWAT is an available playlist, this challenge is actually extremely easy to complete. Stick to the Magnum on smaller maps like Haven and go for headshots on your unshielded foes. The Boltshot is also viable and best used on a map like Adrift which has a lot more close quarters areas. You will need to spend a game exclusively focusing on these weapons if you plan on completing this challenge. Good luck.

Raise the Flag - Win 3 matchmaking Capture the Flag matches. - 1500 XP
As is typical for later in the week, the nine win challenges have been pared down to three wins, just to go back up to nine on either Saturday or Sunday. Oh, joy. Anyway, Capture the Flag is a gametype where you need a communicative team to help you capture the flag, but also defend you own flag. The one shitty thing about capture the flag is that it often goes down to the time limit with no one getting the required five scores to win it. Most of the maps are simply too big for that. So, one way to speed it up is to pick smaller maps. Now, I would suggest taking at least one break if you are having difficulty scoring wins. Expect that this challenge may take up to six games to complete.
