Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 3/15/13

The Challenges:
Threading The Needle - Kill 8 Players with a headshot in a single match. - 5000 XP
To score a headshot in Halo 4, you need a headshots capable weapon, which include the DMR, the BR, the Magnum Pistol, the Sniper Rifle, the Covenant Carbine, the Beam Rifle, the Light Rifle, and the Binary Cannon. You can also apparently score headshots with the Bolt Shot, but I hate that weapon. Anyway, since you will playing in the Team Objective or FFA Regicide playlists today, you can easily score headshots in those. If you are having trouble scoring those headshots, however, head for SWAT. SWAT gives everyone a DMR or BR and a Magnum pistol and no one has shields. That means lots and lots of headshots. Now, eight is not at all a lot so you probably will not even have to go to such extreme measures to secure these kills and will likely get this done while working on "The Kingslayer" challenge.

The Kingslayer - Earn 5 Regicides. - 3000 XP
Oh, hahaha. Very funny 343. I constantly complain about the fact that we are forced into specific gametypes everyday to secure wins. So, instead, they force us into a specific playlist to just get medals. The whole point was about being forced into one damn gametype. Anyway, Regicides are earned when you kill the King in a Regicide match, whether Team or Free-for-all. Whether you play standard Regicide or Team Regicide, slaying the King should be a regular occurrence, though less often in Team Regicide because you have an entire team to contend with. If you find it hard to come by King kills, head to the standard (FFA) Regicide and you can easily rack up the Regicides needed in one or two games (it is not uncommon to get almost ten Regicides in Free-for-all).
