Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 1/17/12

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

The Challenges:
Got Backup - Get 12 kills with a Secondary Weapon. - 1250 XP
Secondary weapons in Halo 4 include the Magnum Pistol, the Plasma Pistol, and the Bolt Shot. You are only really likely to score kills with the Magnum and Boltshot as the Plasma Pistol will likely just end up getting you killed. Now, you just need twelve kills over the day, not in a single game. The best place to get these kills, however, will be in a gametype like SWAT where you can just score easy headshots. If that is your plan, you will want a smaller map like Adrift or Haven, since the Magnum will get raped by a DMR or BR on the larger maps. If you are just playing normally, twelve secondary weapon kills will likely take three to four games to complete.

The Kill-O-Tron - Earn 5 Multikill medals in a single match. - 2650 XP
Multikills are earned when you score multiple kills within four and a half seconds of each other. You will hear these as Double Kills, Triple Kills, etc. Now, you need to score five of these in a single match today, which is much more challenging than it was in Reach. First off, you will want a gametype with a large amount of targets that tend to congregate in small spaces and a weapon big enough to hit them all with. For me, the best option for a while has been Dominion on a map like Vertex. Get in a Wraith and hang back slightly from one of the bases. When you see enemies just spam the mortar into them and you can easily rack up the multikills. Be careful of getting flanked and boarded though.
