The Challenges:
Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
Well, a hundred and eighty kills are needed today to complete this challenge and they can be obtained in any mode of Reach. Well, if you go ahead and complete all the other challenges, than this one will be taken care of by them with no extra work needed on your part. Most likely, you will need to play two or so games for the "Points, Points" challenge and likely another one for "Unto The Breach." Since all these games will bring in about a hundred to a hundred and twenty kills per game, this one is taken care of. Play on.

Katanarama - Kill 5 enemies using the Energy Sword in Firefight Matchmaking. - 2500cR
There are two way you can go about completing this challenge but, thanks to the "Points, Points" challenge, one option is simply easier than the other. Now, since you need to complete a round without dying, you will most likely be in the standard Firefight playlist, which means you will be playing Arcadefight. Arcadefight has a loadout just for the sword so pick it when you first start out. You have an entire three rounds in which to get five sword kills and these do not even have to be done in a single game. The other option is to load up 2X Score Attack and get a sword at an Elite from the very end but the Arcadefight option is simply easier.

Points, Points - Score 40,000 points in a Firefight Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
This challenge will actually be quite challenging today. If Firefight Doubles was still around, this would honestly be a piece of cake, but that option has been taken from us. All of the Score Attack gametypes will leave you quite a bit short of forty-thousand points so you want to, instead, aim for Arcadefight in the standard Score Attack playlist. You will really need to work for these points though. You will need to keep dying at a minimum, multikills at a maximum, and at least hit a hundred kills. Hopefully a player or two drops out of the game and you can reach the bonus round where you are very likely to hit this total.

Unto The Breach - Kill 125 enemies on Corvette in Firefight Matchmaking. - 1100cR
I actually enjoy Corvette, maybe because it is basically a skeleton of Midship from Halo 3, and I do not typically enjoy Covenant themed stuff. It is a close-quarters map so games should go by pretty fast. I would stick to the Score Attack playlist and choose either 2X Score Attack or Gruntpocalypse (which is the easier one). Either gametype will let you score about a hundred and twenty kill per game which means that you will need to play two games to complete this challenge. I really wish they would have just put this at two-hundred kills, to be honest but the credit value isn't that high anyway. Go for "Points, Points" first, as you may get this map in matchmaking.
