The Challenges:
Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
Well, a hundred and eighty kills today. All told, the other challenges should take care of this for you today. "The Little Guys" challenge will probably bring about a hundred or so kills due to all the other enemies you face and then you need a hundred kills for the "Now I have a Machine Gun" challenge. In truth, you will likely score well more than the a hundred and eighty kills needed for this challenge so try not to worry about it at all.


Now I have a Machine Gun - Earn 100 kills with automatic weapons in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 4500cR
Automatic weapons in Halo Reach include the AR, the Plasma Rifle, the Plasma Repeater, the Needler, and the Brute Spiker. You will not really get to see the Brute Spike too much in multiplayer Matchmaking so focus on the AR and the Needler. Multi Team has always fared well for me with this challenge since you almost always start out with an AR and everyone is killing each other. A hundred kills will definitely take some time to complete so this is nothing to balk at. On the bright side, you do need to complete fifteen games for the "Put Your Quarter Up" challenge and this will definitely help towards this.

The Little Guys - Kill 75 Grunts in Campaign today on Normal or harder. - 2000cR
Well, as usual, Grunts are the easiest enemies to kill in Reach. There is no particular level that has a whole lot more Grunts than another, at least from my experience, so you are best off starting with Winter Contingency and working your way through. Play on Heroic so your kills are not stolen by AI Teammates and remember that as long as you damage the enemy first, if the AIs score the killing shot you will still get credit for it. There is a chance this will all be done on the first level but you may need to play into ONI: Swordbase to complete this challenge.

Put Your Quarter Up - Complete 15 games in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 2750cR
Well, at least this is a weekend where feats like this are actually possible, instead of just maddeningly difficult and seemingly that way on purpose. You will be completing some games for the "Now I have a Machine Gun" challenge so that will take care of a good chunk of these games. For the rest, just have fun. As usual, quitting, disconnecting, or getting booted will cause games not to count for this challenge and for the Weekly so try and behave and hold off on rage-quitting. Expect about ten to fifteen minutes per game.
