Halo 4 Campaign Weekly Challenges - 5/6/13

The Challenges:
This Is Gonna Hurt - Complete any Campaign Mission on Heroic or higher difficulty with the Famine, Tilt and Thunderstorm skulls. - 2500 XP
So, you are likely going to see both of these challenges and think to do them at one time. However, due to the fact that "Requiem Rumble" does not require the Famine skull, I would urge you to not do that. Requiem has a bunch of enemies and not a whole lot of ammo which will be made even more scarce by the Famine skull as it is easier to run out of ammunition on Legendary difficulty to begin with. Now, the Famine Skull will cause all weapons on the ground to have half as much ammunition, the Tilt skull will modify the damage tables, and the Thunderstorm skull will upgrade all enemies. Instead, I would run through Dawn as it is the easiest level of the game and also has the most placed weapons so it will be unaffected by the Famine Skull.

Requiem Rumble - Complete Requiem on Legendary difficulty with the Mythic, Tilt, Tough Luck and Thunderstorm skulls. - 6117 XP
Well, guess we are going to do another run through of these levels since the challenges appear to be on repeat. Wonder if we will ever actually see LASO difficulty in these challenges. Requiem, for me, was actually an immense pain to play through with a lot of Skulls on because the level is long and some of the level design is just mildly cruel to the player. The Mythic, Tilt, and Thunderstorm skulls together will make this even more painful as the Elites will be pretty brutal. This does not need to be done solo, however, so bring a friend. All of this level is just facing your standard Covenant forces so there are no special techniques except to make sure you utilize you armor abilities and just take it slow. Another thing to be mindful of is that you use appropriate weapons at appropriate times. I.e. do not waste a rocket on a single Grunt that you can just go melee. Conserving ammunition is very important for this level.
