Halo 4 War Games and Spartan Ops Daily Challenges - 5/4/13

The Challenges:
I Am The 99 Percent - Kill 20 Elites. - 2000 XP
I see this challenge has shrunk a bit from the last time we saw it. Before we needed forty Elite kills. Now, that is paired down a little. Now, the objective is to score forty Elite kills. Now, the best mission for this is the Episode three mission "Shootout in Valhalla." There are a ton of Elites that are dropped and, as well, every Banshee and Wraith gives you a Elite kill as well. On Heroic, a single solo game brought in fifty Elite kill. Play this level twice and this challenge is all taken care of. I would not recommend co-op for this challenges, as it will then take even longer to complete.

Threading The Needle - Kill 8 Players with a headshot in a single match. - 750 XP
Well, headshots are at least pretty simplistic and common in Halo 4. Could definitely be for more XP though. Now, 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.

Rolling Thunder - Earn 3 Killing Spree medals. - 850 XP
A Killing Spree in War Games is earned when you score five kills in a row. As this challenge stipulates "Killing Spree medals" other sprees such as weapon and miscellaneous sprees will not count. Now, you do not need three in a single game, just overall but that should not be too difficult as we are often tasked with scoring five or so for this challenge. You will undoubtedly be playing games in the Team Objective playlist thanks to the "Threading The Needle" challenge and this is good because objective gametypes are typically the best for getting killing sprees. Complete "Threading The Needle" first and then move onto this one as you may get a spree or two while working on it.
