The Challenges:
Light Fare - Kill 100 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 3000cR
This challenge, at least for today, will be covered by the other challenges and will require no extra work from you. "Demon" will get you about two-hundred and forty kills and the "Cannon Fodder" kills will get you about a hundred or so kills. Finally, the "Make a Wish" challenge will likely bring in another fifty to a hundred kills. That one just depends on how long it will take to complete, which will vary from person to person. All in all, free credits today that will not require any extra work from you.

Demon - Kill 40 Elites in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2800cR
This is the sole Firefight Matchmaking challenge of the day but it will all but complete the "Light Fare'" challenge for you so no problems there. Elites are the hardest enemies to kill in Firefight Matchmaking. This challenge will, however, most likely take two games to complete since I am urging you to play in the Score Attack Playlist. Aim for 2X Score Attack since the final wave will always be twenty or so Elites. Do your best to make sure that none of them kill themselves and you will have this done in two easy games. You can also head to the standard Firefight playlist, but that will take a lot more work. Get to it.

Cannon Fodder - Kill 75 infantry-class foes in the Campaign today. - 2100cR
When these challenges say "infantry-class foes" what they really seem to mean are Grunts. The custom challenge work properly in this regard but not these ones. Now, Grunts can be found on practically every level of the game but it is easiest to just start off with Winter Contingency and work your way through. There are several sections with a crap ton of Grunts so do not be afraid to die and start that section over to score more kills. Seventy-five kills will not take long and will likely be completed before you get to ONI: Swordbase. This is the only Campaign challenge today so do not expect much help from anywhere else.

Make a Wish... - Earn a Running Riot in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 5343cR
So a Running Riot is fifteen kills without dying in multiplayer Matchmaking. And this is just straight mean. Now, you will want a few key elements to get a Running Riot; a large map, a lot of targets, and a powerful weapon. Big Team Battle or Invasion Slayer are likely your best bets. Getting the Sniper on Hemorrhage and then just hanging back and sniping gives you a great chance at this. Now, you can also try Living Dead but the map for that is all personal preference, though it definitely is doable. Pick your poison.
