The Challenges:
Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
Well, a hundred and eighty kills today should actually be quite easy to come by thanks to the other challenge. "The T.G. Opposition" will bring in about a hundred kills by itself while the "Just Holdout" challenge will bring in another two-hundred and forty kills. "Hyper Lethal Vector" may add in a few kills but not many due to it probably being taken care of by the other challenges, just like this one. I highly doubt that any extra games will need to be played to finish this challenge off.

Hyper Lethal Vector - Kill 150 enemies with headshots in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2125cR
To score headshots in Reach, you need a headshot capable weapon. This grouping includes the DMR, the Sniper Rifle, the Magnum Pistol, the Needle Rifle, and the Covenant Focus Beam. Now, a hundred headshots will take about two games to complete since you can only score about a hundred and twenty kills per game and not all of them will be headshots. Now, you will be playing a bunch of games in the Score Attack playlist for the "The T.G. Opposition" and "Just Holdout" challenges and they will likely take care of some of these kills for you. For the remainder, you will likely need to play an extra game.

The T.G. Opposition - Kill 40 enemies in Firefight Matchmaking with the Shotgun. - 2000cR
There is really only one way to reliably get a shotgun in Firefight Matchmaking and that is to go into the standard Firefight playlist and pick the Arcadefight gametype. Now, forty kills will likely just barely take a single game to complete because you will likely need to compete with three other players for kills, but it is slightly possible in a single game. The Shotgun is a very short-range weapon so that will make it more difficult. Aim for a smaller map like Courtyard or Corvette and, again, expect to play two games for this challenge.

Just Holdout - Kill 125 enemies on Holdout in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1100cR
This is an extremely easy challenge that you do not really need to worry about but it will be forcing you to play two games of Firefight Matchmaking. My advice is to stick to the Score Attack playlist so you can get this map. For the first game, aim for Gruntpocalypse or 2X Score Attack. Those two are simply the fastest gametypes for Firefight Matchmaking. After you have completed the first game, that second game can be Crashsite or whatever would be preferable for you. Crashsite is typically best as you can quickly end the game once you have gotten the kills you need by just dying or letting the generator explode.
