The Challenges:
I Predict A Riot - Earn 3 Killing Spree medals in a single match. - 1200 XP
Typically, this challenge asks for four sprees, so it has been toned down a little. Of course, that apparently means we get half the credits. Anyway, a Killing Spree in Halo 4 is earned when you score five kills in a row without dying. First it is a Killing Spree, then a Killing Frenzy, then a Running Riot, Rampage, etc. Now, the likelihood of you getting a Rampage in a game is extremely unlikely so you will need to stack together several smaller sprees. You will want large game like Big Team Infinity Slayer or Dominion. Make use of heavy vehicles, like Scorpion and Wraith Tanks, and also heavy weapons. If you are trying to string together a spree, it is also important to stay at range as your chances of dying are much higher when you are in close. Expect this to take a bunch of games to complete.

The Challenges:
Deadeye - Kill 50 Players with a headshot. - 1000 XP
To score a headshot in War Games, you will need a headshot capable weapon. In Halo 4, these include the DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle), the BR (Battle Rifle), the Magnum Pistol, the Sniper Rifle, the Covenant Carbine, the Beam Rifle, the Light Rifle, and the Binary Cannon. Now, usually when we see this challenge, it is asking for twelve or so kills so they have upped the ante a lot today. Complete "Spartan The Pistolero" first as you are likely to score some headshots there if you go the SWAT route. The easiest way to score these headshots will be in a gametype like SWAT where almost all of the kills are headshots. Just play normally while you amass these headshots. It should not take more than four or five games to complete.

The Challenges:
Quick On The Trigger - Earn 5 Combat Skill Medals in a single match. - 1000 XP
Combat skill medals, for those who do not already know of them, include the Killjoy, Headcase, From the Grave, Reload This, and Showstopper Medals. Granted, a lot of these are based off of luck, a few can be farmed, namely the Reload This and Headcase medals, which you will be best off trying for with a Precision Weapons (i.e. DMR, BR, Light Rifle, Covenant Carbine). Now, you need to score four in a single match but this is not really a difficult challenge if you are in a long match with a lot of players. Dominion would be my preferred gametype, though you can also have great success with Capture the Flag as those games typically go the entire time.

The Challenges:
Spartan Master Killer - Kill 20 Players in a single War Games match. - 2000 XP
Well, at least the XP is going back up a bit. I was expecting it to go up more with This first challenge, asking you to score twenty kills in a single game can be completed in no time at all. First off, you need a playlist with a lot of player and no kill limit. That pretty much means Dominion or Grifball. In Dominion, I would head for the larger vehicles, like Scorpion and Wraith Tanks. Stay near bases to play defense and you should have no trouble racking up the kills. Grifball allows you to get an insane number of kills regardless. This is also doable in most other slayer-based playlists, just easier in Dominion and Grifball.

The Challenges:
Drop Bears! - Assassinate 3 Players in a single match. - 1200 XP
As usual, like every time we get this challenge, you will need to score three assassination in a single game. You can trigger an assassination animation by holding the melee button behind an enemy. The animation needs to mostly complete for it to count. Now, Team Slayer Pro had been the best playlist for me to get assassinations, but that is now gone so we need other playlists. I have had luck in FFA Regicide on maps like Haven or Adrift (more Haven than the other one) which means stick to smaller maps. Dominion might be worthwhile for some, but that maps are much larger so you will likely need to hide in the bases.

The Challenges:
That's No Moon! - Complete Requiem solo on Legendary difficulty. - 5000 XP
I thought we were doing LASO challenges. They need to make up their damn minds over there so we can get used to playing through these levels on a certain difficulty. Personally, I think this kind of sucks, as we could get more interesting Weekly Campaign Challenges, but alas. Requiem is actually a decently long level and making it harder on yourself is not a great idea. All of this level is just facing your standard Covenant forces so there are no special techniques except to make sure you utilize you armor abilities and just take it slow. Another thing to be mindful of is that you use appropriate weapons at appropriate times. I.e. do not waste a rocket on a single Grunt that you can just go melee. As well, you can die as much as you want, so do not be afraid to fail and restart a section. This isn't LASO, yet.

The Challenges:
Spartan Master Killer - Kill 15 Players in a single War Games match. - 1000 XP
It used to be that fifteen kills would get you almost three-thousand experience points. Well, not quite anymore. This first challenge, asking you to score fifteen kills in a single game can be completed in no time at all. First off, you need a playlist with a lot of player and no kill limit. That pretty much means Dominion or Grifball. In Dominion, I would head for the larger vehicles, like Scorpion and Wraith Tanks. Stay near bases to play defense and you should have no trouble racking up the kills. Grifball allows you to get an insane number of kills regardless. This is also doable in most other slayer-based playlists, just easier in Dominion and Grifball.

Deposed! - Earn 5 Regicides in a single match. - 1000 XP
Well, I wonder if this challenge could be made any easier. They could perhaps only ask for a single "Regicide." Still not onboard with this gametype at all, though. Now, a Regicide is earned when you kill the king in a game of Regicide. It used to be that this challenge required ten in a single game, but this lower total will make things much easier. Expect the typical douche-like behavior from some people who are just going for kills and not the king. I have scored eleven in a game before in FFA Regicide, but I am not expecting such glowing results today. Try to play with a few friends, if you can, as that way you can coordinate with them to take down the king faster. The longer the king stays alive, the higher his bounty probably is, and you want it as low as possible. Should take a single attempt to complete.

The Challenges:
Spray And Pray - Get 50 kills with an Automatic Loadout Weapon. - 1000 XP
Automatic Loadout Weapons in Halo 4 include the AR (Automatic Rifle), the Storm Rifle, and the Suppressor. The Needler and the Chain Gun do not count for these challenges as you cannot equip them in loadouts. These fifty kills, luckily, do not need to be in a single game and can be earned over the entire day. Whichever weapon you choose will depend on several things, the first of which being what weapons you have unlocked, the next being the type of combat you prefer. The Storm Rifle has the tightest spread but is the weakest while the Suppressor is the most powerful but is the most inaccurate. The AR sits in the middle being the best compromise to both weapons with a decently concentrated spread and good power behind it. I would stick to objective gametypes as they will allow you to get in close quarters and score these kills. Expect this challenge to take a five six games to complete.

The Challenges:
In Your Face - Earn 12 CQC Medals. - 2400 XP
There are three Close Quarters Combat medals in Halo 4 and they are the Melee, Beat Down, and Bulltrue medals. Remember that, for the Beat Down medal, when behind an enemy, just tap melee instead of holding it to perform a Beat Down. To get these, you will typically want to be on a smaller map in an objective oriented game as it will allow you to get as many medals as possible. Oddball is typically good for close quarters combat on the smaller maps, especially if you have the ball or can use the ball-carrier to draw people in close range. As well, standard slayer games will work well too, just not as many medals per game. I would expect to get about six or seven of these per game when actually trying, though you will not see the Bull True that often. You might complete this while working on the "Quick On The Trigger" challenge, so complete this last.

The Challenges:
Fully Automated - Get 15 kills with an Automatic Loadout Weapon in a single match. - 1000 XP
There are only three Automatic Loadout Weapons in Halo 4 and those are the Assault Rifle, the Strom Rifle, and the Suppressor. You will likely not get as many kills with these weapons as precision weapons without actively trying for them since the effective range of the weapons is so much less. Whichever gun you pick is up to you but this info my help you make a decision. The Suppressor has the widest spread but seems to have the most powerful shot. The Storm Rifle has the smallest spread but the weakest shots. The AR is pretty comfortable with a medium spread and medium damage, therefore making it the most deadly, in my opinion. Large team gametypes or objective gametypes on smaller maps like Adrift or Haven will serve you best for getting these kills. Fifteen can actually be challenging, so go for the larger objective gametypes and only use these weapons.

The Challenges:
The Pistolero - Get 8 kills with a Secondary Weapon in a single match. - 1600 XP
Secondary weapons in Halo 4 include the Magnum Pistol, the Plasma Pistol, and the Boltshot. You will not be scoring many kills with the Plasma Pistol so do not even worry about it. Since SWAT is an available playlist, this challenge is actually extremely easy to complete. Stick to the Magnum on smaller maps like Haven and go for headshots on your unshielded foes. The Boltshot is also viable and best used on a map like Adrift, which has a lot more close quarters areas, and in objective gametypes. You will need to spend a game exclusively focusing on these weapons if you plan on getting eight kills and completing this challenge. Good luck.

And now the XP value has dropped even more. Why are they afraid to give us XP? I just don't get it. This first challenge, asking you to score twenty kills in a single game can be completed in no time at all. First off, you need a playlist with a lot of player and no kill limit. That pretty much means Dominion or Grifball. In Dominion, I would head for the larger vehicles, like Scorpion and Wraith Tanks.

Anyway, a Killing Spree in Halo 4 is earned when you score five kills in a row without dying. First it is a Killing Spree, then a Killing Frenzy, then a Running Riot, Rampage, etc. Now, the likelihood of you getting a Rampage in a game is extremely unlikely so you will need to stack together several smaller sprees. You will want large game like Big Team Infinity Slayer or Dominion. Make use of heavy vehicles, like Scorpion and Wraith Tanks, and also heavy weapons. If you are trying to string together a spree, it is also important to stay at range as your chances of dying are much higher when you are in close. Expect this to take a bunch of games to complete.

The Challenges:
Turn It Off! - Complete Shutdown solo on Legendary difficulty. - 5000 XP
So, Shutdown actually has a shortcut now that allows you to cheat through the first two towers and you can practically make it through this level in just minutes. Who knows if this will still work once an update rolls out, but we can only hope. Now, you will start out and the jump into the Pelican attempting to fly to the towers in order to stop the Didact. Instead, you will want to fly to the final tower you go to in this level and you can just squeeze the Pelican in. Land and continue on. The game will act as though you completed everything else (thank you triggers!) and you can basically run through the final part, though watch for the hunters, to the end of the level. A video has been posted for this method, not mine, and all credit goes to Nak3dHalo for the vid.

The Challenges:
Quick On The Trigger - Earn 8 Combat Skill Medals in a single match. - 1600 XP
Combat Skill medals, as we all probably do not remember due to them being so obscure, include the Killjoy, Headcase, From the Grave, Reload This, and Showstopper medals. You need eight of these today and they do need to be in a single game. Use precision weapons (DMR, BR, Light Rifle, Sniper) to score Headcase (headshot on a running target) medals and then use grenades when you are near death for the From the Grave medal. Reload This is pretty much dependent on the other player but people need to reload their weapons. Killyjoys and Showstopper are a bit more rare and harder to get so do not focus on them. Might take a few attempts to complete. Aim for objective gametypes to complete this challenge. Work on "Infected" first.

Infected - Win 3 matchmaking Flood matches. - 1200 XP
So, it seems that we have returned to the "do a bunch of difficult shit, get little reward" version of the War Games daily challenges. What joy! Anyway, Flood is a technically a Free-for-all mode though you will see yourself divided by teams. Unlike Reach, the Flood/Zombies are much more powerful in Halo 4 thanks to the thruster pack and the seemingly longer lunge range of the sword. As well, zombies also have shields so if you are one, hope is not lost. If you have a lot of campers, make use of invisibility so you can surprise them. If you are a survivor, make sure you utilize the Magnum at range and the Shotgun close up. Three matches will take a while to win, but it is doable if you start early enough in the day and keep at it.

The Challenges:
Threading The Needle - Kill 15 Players with a headshot in a single match. - 1500 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 headshot capable weapon, a list which includes 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, fifteen is a lot so you probably will likely need to take a few swings at this one to knock it out.

You will probably get some of these while working on the "Take The Hill!" challenge so some of it is done for you.

The Challenges:
Spray And Pray - Get 75 kills with an Automatic Loadout Weapon. - 0 XP
Yeah, that isn't a typo in my blog. They actually have it set to a zero XP reward for this challenge. Not sure if it is legit, meaning I don't know what it actually gives in game but, still, kind of ridiculous. Automatic Loadout Weapons in Halo 4 include the AR (Automatic Rifle), the Storm Rifle, and the Suppressor. The Needler and the Chain Gun do not count for these challenges as you cannot equip them in loadouts. These seventy-five kills, luckily, do not need to be in a single game and can be earned over the entire day. Whichever weapon you choose will depend on several things, the first of which being what weapons you have unlocked, the next being the type of combat you prefer. The Storm Rifle has the tightest spread but is the weakest while the Suppressor is the most powerful but is the most inaccurate.

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. Today, for the first time in a long time, you would be correct. The only difference would be the addition of the Mythic Skull from the "Stormy Vengeance" which will not make a whole lot of problems on Heroic difficulty. 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.

The Challenges:
Drilled - Get 15 kills with a Precision Loadout Weapon in a single match. - 1500 XP
I wonder if the XP for this challenge will ever go back up. Probably not. Precision Loadout weapons in Halo 4 include the DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle), the BR (Battle Rifle), the Covenant Carbine, and the Light Rifle. These are all the precision weapons that you can add to a customized loadout. Sniper, Binary Cannon, and Covenant Beam Rifle do not fall into this category. Now, some playlists, like SWAT, have you exclusively using these weapons and these are your best bets for completing these challenges. As all these games require sixty kills now, but your average number of kills should jump up a little putting fifteen just in range of a regular game. As well, objective gametypes are good for this challenge as there is no kill limit and you can exclusively use a precision weapons in your loadouts. This does need to be completed in a single game so expect this to take two or three games to accomplish.

Dominator - Win 5 matchmaking Dominion matches. - 2000 XP
You know, I just never really got into the Dominion gametype. I guess I still miss Invasion, but hopefully that will be back for Halo 5. Now, Dominion is a gametype where there are three bases which you can capture and holding them for a certain amount of time gives you points. The first team to four-hundred points wins. Having a team that knows the maps and how to hold the bases is a must for this gametypes. If you have a lot of back and forth, the game will go on longer than it needs to. Now, you can also capture all the bases and then, if you kill the entire other team, the game will end with your victory. Just five wins for the day and you will be all set.

To Be Precise - Get 100 kills with a Precision Loadout Weapon. - 2000 XP
I guess, at least the XP reward went up with this one from last time, instead of down. Precision Loadout weapons in Halo 4 include the DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle), the BR (Battle Rifle), the Covenant Carbine, and the Light Rifle. These are all the precision weapons that you can add to a customized loadout. Sniper, Binary Cannon, and Covenant Beam Rifle do not fall into this category.

Typically, this challenge is only asking for thirty-five or so kills for the Daily variant. That is clearly changing up today as the challenge is now asking for a hundred kills, a slight increase, but not really increasing the XP value by all that much. Regardless, you need to get a hundred kills today in War Games, overall for this challenge. Not in a single game or in a specific mode, just over all. For most people, this is probably a three or four games' worth of kills depending on the playlist. Complete "The Pistolero" first but that not be enough games for absolutely anyone. Play whatever you like or just play some standard slayer games or jump into the Grifball playlist. In the end, this challenge should not take a lot of work to complete and it will just be a bunch more XP for you to bank.

Combat Skill medals include the Killjoy, Headcase, From the Grave, Reload This, and Showstopper medals.

Use precision weapons (DMR, BR, Light Rifle, Sniper) to score Headcase (headshot on a running target) medals and then use grenades when you are near death for the From the Grave medal. Reload This is pretty much dependent on the other player but people need to reload their weapons. Killyjoys and Showstopper are a bit more rare and harder to get so do not focus on them. You can expect to get about two to four medals a game. Complete "Raise The Flag" first, however, as you will probably get some Combat Skill medals while playing it.

Stay near bases to play defense and you should have no trouble racking up the kills. Grifball allows you to get an insane number of kills regardless. This is also doable in most other slayer-based playlists, just easier in Dominion and Grifball.

The Challenges:
Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
Well, this challenge should really not take too much work today. If you look below, you will notice that there are only two real challenges, "L.D. Winter" and "Who's the Big Winner?" Now, "Who's The Big Winner" will likely provide about a hundred and seventy kills or so, as it completely takes care of "Fire When Ready." That number may be higher depending on the gametypes you pick. The "L.D. Winter" challenge will also add some kills because, unlike Nightfall where you can skip everything, Winter Contingency has some people that you actually have to kill. Expect it to add another fifty or so kills, therefore completing this challenge.

Fire When Ready - Kill 50 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking - 3000cR
Well, besides this challenge which is asking you to score fifty kills today in multiplayer Matchmaking, there is one other multiplayer Matchmaking challenge. The "Who's the Big Winner?" challenge, however, will almost definitely take care of all these. You get about twelve kills per game on average so fifteen games will give you well over a hundred and fifty kills. Not really much more to see here. You can likely get this done even faster by playing in gametypes like Grifball or objective-based gametypes. Good luck.

The Challenges:
The Coming Of The Dawn - Complete Dawn solo on Legendary difficulty. - 4000 XP
This is the first level of Halo 4 and, most likely, the easiest as it will attempt to re-introduce the player into Halo and showcase any changes made from Reach. In other words, it is our Winter Contingency for Halo 4. You can die as much as you want for this challenge as there is now "without dying" stipulation. This level does allow you to fall back and keep your distance so utilize the Magnum and BR during the Observations deck sequence and the exterior sequence. Does not take too long to complete so these are really easy credits. I would be more worried about "The Conductor" challenge as the level is a lot harder than Dawn.

The Challenges:
The Pistolero - Get 7 kills with a Secondary Weapon in a single match. - 1000 XP
Secondary weapons in Halo 4 include the Magnum Pistol, the Plasma Pistol, and the Boltshot. You will not be scoring many kills with the Plasma Pistol so do not even worry about it. Since SWAT is an available playlist, this challenge is actually extremely easy to complete. Stick to the Magnum on smaller maps like Haven and go for headshots on your unshielded foes. The Boltshot is also viable and best used on a map like Adrift which has a lot more close quarters areas and in objective gametypes. You will need to spend a game exclusively focusing on these weapons if you plan on getting seven kills and completing this challenge. Good luck.

Quick On The Trigger - Earn 5 Combat Skill Medals in a single match. - 1000 XP
Combat skill medals, for those who do not already know of them, include the Killjoy, Headcase, From the Grave, Reload This, and Showstopper Medals. Granted, a lot of these are based off of luck, a few can be farmed, namely the Reload This and Headcase medals, which you will be best off trying for with a Precision Weapons (i.e. DMR, BR, Light Rifle, Covenant Carbine). Now, you need to score four in a single match but this is not really a difficult challenge if you are in a long match with a lot of players. Dominion would be my preferred gametype, though you can also have great success with Capture the Flag as those games typically go the entire time.

The Monthly Challenge:
To The Victor Go The Spoils - Win 75 matchmaking War Games matches. - 20000 XP
You knew it was going to come back to this challenge, right? Though, three months without it was rather nice, but I really just don't like the idea of Monthly Challenges that much. Just not a lot you can do with them. Regardless, here we go. Eighty games also means that you need to win about three games a day this month. That will put you at ninety as long as you play every single day. In reality, they will probably give challenges each day requiring that many kills, so this should be partially done for us.

The Challenges:
Drilled - Get 15 kills with a Precision Loadout Weapon in a single match. - 1000 XP
I wonder if the XP for this challenge will ever go back up. Probably not. Precision Loadout weapons in Halo 4 include the DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle), the BR (Battle Rifle), the Covenant Carbine, and the Light Rifle. These are all the precision weapons that you can add to a customized loadout. Sniper, Binary Cannon, and Covenant Beam Rifle do not fall into this category. Now, some playlists, like SWAT, have you exclusively using these weapons and these are your best bets for completing these challenges. As all these games require sixty kills now, but your average number of kills should jump up a little putting fifteen just in range of a regular game. As well, objective gametypes are good for this challenge as there is no kill limit and you can exclusively use a precision weapons in your loadouts. This does need to be completed in a single game so expect this to take two or three games to accomplish.

The Challenges:
The Kill-O-Tron - Earn 3 Multikill medals in a single match. - 1000 XP
So, Grifball is still here since it was introduced into matchmaking some time ago. Due to that addition, this challenge is easy as hell and will take absolutely no time to accomplish. First off, a multikill is earned when you score multiple kills within four and a half seconds of each other. With two kills this will be a Double Kill but you can take this up to ten kills for a Killionaire (nine multikills). Now, Grifball has you equipped only with Gravity Hammers and Energy Swords. If you have yet to venture into this playlist, it will take some adjustment from Reach, but not much. You can play up to five rounds in a close game so you have plenty of time to score these multikills. Dominion is another options if Grifball does not agree with you.

The Challenges:
To Be Precise - Get 50 kills with a Precision Loadout Weapon. - 1000 XP
Precision Loadout weapons in Halo 4 include the DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle), the BR (Battle Rifle), the Covenant Carbine, and the Light Rifle. These are all the precision weapons that you can add to a customized loadout. Sniper, Binary Cannon, and Covenant Beam Rifle do not fall into this category. Now, some playlists, like SWAT, have you exclusively using these weapons and these are your best bets for completing these challenges. As all these games require sixty kills now, your average number of kills should jump up a little, though fifty kills will remain well out of range for almost all players in a regular game. As well, objective gametypes are good for this challenge as there is no kill limit and you can exclusively use a precision weapons in your loadouts. Expect this challenge to take three to four games to complete.
