Halo 4 Campaign Weekly Challenges - 7/22/13

The Challenges:
This Is Gonna Hurt - Complete any Campaign Mission on Heroic or higher difficulty with the Famine, Tilt and Thunderstorm skulls. - 4500 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 "The Conductor" does not require the any skulls and is on a higher difficulty, I would urge you to not do that. Composer is a difficult level that has a lot of enemies. 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. You can also skip parts during the final fights but just sprinting from button to button, in essence.

The Conductor - Complete Composer solo on Legendary difficulty. - 13000 XP
Well, another week an another challenge asking you to complete a level of Halo 4 solo and on Legendary. They are just really slowly walking you to that Lone Wolf Legend achievement. Now, parts of this level were actually quite easy, especially the Mantis sections. The difficult parts are when you get stuck into close quarters with the Covies and you have your typical crappy weapon selection (man, do I miss SMGs). It is important to note, as well, that in the earlier sections when you are in the initial hangar, the troops that land will only surge forward once a set number of them have been killed. Therefore, take out the Elites first. I would rather get charged by a bunch of Jackals and Grunts then four or five Elites. As well, the Hunters you face can be pretty easily handled with the Sticky Detonator. Other than that, just grind through it.
