The Challenges:
Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2000cR
So, I think this may actually be the first time in the history of these challenges that we have had every single challenge be worth the same number of credits. This is especially interesting since some are a hell of a lot harder than others. Well, regardless, this challenge will easily be taken care of by any of the other challenges today. First off, a single game in the Score Attack playlist will yield about a hundred and twenty kills while the standard Firefight playlist will get you about a hundred kills. In other words, don't have much work to do here.

Survivor - Earn 9 Sprees in a Firefight Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
A spree in Firefight Matchmaking is earned when you score ten kills in a row without dying. You can get up to five sprees, four short of what you need for this challenge, by scoring fifty kills without dying. You should be scoring these quite easily so this challenge should take little time to complete. This challenge does not stipulate just Killing Sprees so weapon and other miscellaneous sprees will also count. Once you hit fifty kills I would just die so you can start those sprees over and have this done in no time flat. 2X Score Attack and Gruntpocalypse are the preferred gametypes for this challenge. Will most likely get taken care of while you work on "On the Sixth Respawn..."

On the Sixth Respawn... - Complete a Firefight Matchmaking game with fewer than 5 deaths. - 2000cR
This is actually a really easy challenge no matter what gametype you do this in. Obviously, anything in the standard Firefight playlist will be harder since you need to survive through an entire set as opposed to a single round in the Score Attack playlist. You can easily get this completed while working on the other challenges, however, so there is no need to actually worry about this. Just pick larger maps to put more distance between you and the Covenant forces.


Katanarama - Kill 1 enemies using the Energy Sword in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2000cR
You have two options for this challenge and both are pretty easy. The first option is to head to the standard Firefight playlist and get a game of Arcadefight. One of the loadouts there has the Energy Sword, so just score a single kill with it. The other option is going to the Score Attack playlist and doing 2X Score Attack. The final wave is always Elites and a few will have swords. Kill one of them, get his sword, and score the kill for the challenge. Personally, due to the "One Spartan Army" challenge, I would go the Score Attack route.
