Halo 4 War Games Daily Challenges - 7/25/13

Please subscribe above this and/or follow me on twitter! Have any ideas or comments about the challenges? Post them down below! 

The Challenges:
Got Backup - Get 20 kills with a Secondary Weapon. - 1000 XP
Secondary weapons in Halo 4 include the Magnum Pistol, the Plasma Pistol, and the Bolt Shot. You are only really likely to score kills with the Magnum and Boltshot as the Plasma Pistol will likely just end up getting you killed. If you are on a map with a lot of narrow corridors, the Bolt Shot is best but use the Magnum if you are in more wide open spaces. Now, you just need twenty kills over the day, not in a single game. The best place to get these kills, however, will be in a gametype like SWAT where you can just score easy headshots. If that is your plan, you will want a smaller map like Adrift or Haven, since the Magnum will get raped by a DMR or BR on the larger maps. I would expect this challenge to take about two to three games of actively trying for these kills to complete.

We Are The Champions - Win 6 matchmaking Slayer matches. - 1200 XP
Why couldn't it just be win any gametype? Why must they always force us into a specific gametype and playlist? Again, definitely complaining here. They could do challenges based on assists or something though. Even the credits are drastically less again than when the challenge was only for three wins. WTF? Now, the playlist that you play in for this challenge will largely depend on your personal preference and skill. Infinity Slayer, Big Team Infinity Slayer, SWAT, and Infinity Challenge Slayer are the options available to you, as well as Majestic Team DLC but that one has several gametypes to choose from and not all are slayer. Be prepared to play well more than six games, however, if you are having little luck today. As well, try to get teammates with you who communicate, as that will make this all much easier in terms of scoring wins.
